Before enjoying the nightlife of Quito, you will have to save some money first... This post should help you make an estimate of your budget while being in Ecuador.
1) Accomodation:
I would advise you to stay in Mariscal, which is the main touristic and business hub in Ecuador and in Quito. Other good areas, more quiet, are the colonial town, which is full of life and really beautiful, but doesn't offer as many amenities as in Mariscal. The price for a nice budget room is about 8 to 10$ a night with a small bathroom and the breakfast usually costs less than $2.
If you are staying long-term, you can get a nice appartment for probably less than $250/month. For twice that, you will get something really nice, with a swimming pool and extra services.
2) Food
Food is really cheap in Ecuador, except for all imported items. In this particular case, you will pay 2 to 3 times more than what it costs in your home country. Otherwise, for everything that is grown locally, expect your budget to be around $250 per months, and that means you're eating really well.
3) Transport
Bus is dirt cheap in Quito, you don't even really need to budget it... It's about $0.20 for a ride.. Taxis are also cheap: Expect to pay around $3 for every 20 minutes spent in a cab.
4) Entertainment
Except in 5-stars hotel bars where the bill can end up at staggering heights, the cost of getting drunk is quite cheap in Ecuador, especially if you like rum... A drink will cost you around $2 and a beer a little less. Some bars have an entrance fee if you arrive after midnight and it's usually not more than $5
