Fuse is the most happening nightclub in Yangon at the time of writing (2017). It was opened in May 2016 in the brand-new mall and lifestyle center Myanmar Plaza. It is in an affluent neighborhood about 8 kilometers from downtown Yangon (Chinatown). During the day, the traffic to go there can be hellish but at 1AM, it won't take more than 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can choose a hotel nearby, for instance the luxurious Sedona.
Fuse is on the 4th floor of Myanmar Plaza, right next to Eclipse, a nice rooftop bar with a beer garden vibe. I arrived in Fuse at 2.30AM on a Saturday night, just 30 minutes before closing time (3AM). I had been told it closed at 4AM otherwise I would have visited earlier.
Anyway, the club was still crowded and I managed to negotiate a free entrance. I was shocked to hear the entrance fee for walk-in guests was 20,000MMK (30,000MMK for VIP entrance), twice as much compared to any other nightclubs in Yangon. Drinks inside are also more expensive than average (7,000MMK for a glass of spirits + mixer). In fact, most customers book a table with a group of friends and share a few bottles (starting 85,000MMK). If you do so, you get a discounted entrance fee at 10,000MMK. It is the most recommended thing to do because there is no real dancefloor in Fuse.

As you can imagine, the clients inside Fuse are young, upper-class Burmese who are used to go clubbing elsewhere in the world. Some of them are obviously local celebrities/socialites/models. I also saw a handful of Westerners and maybe some Koreans/Japanese.
The resident DJs are among the most famous in Myanmar and they play mostly commercial EDM, Trap, Hip Hop and Top 40. Typically, there will be 5 DJs playing a one-hour DJ set each. They also welcome international guest DJs regularly, particularly from other Asian countries.
The venue is non-smoking. You can go outside to smoke on a terrace, probably the best spot to meet and talk to girls.
