New Delhi - Bars & Nightlife
Alcohol is not deeply engrained in Indian culture, though New Delhi’s bar culture is fast becoming world-renowned. The best bars are found in the more upmarket hotels, with ordinary drinking holes still very much all-male affairs.This city of more than 13 million people offers world class nightlife, often increasingly glitzy and expensive. There are plenty of places to rub shoulders with the rich and beautiful in New Delhi’s hotel clubs and bars, and if you are after something more traditional, you can also find some of the best in Indian music and dance.
