New Delhi: Bars & Nightlife

Alcohol is not deeply ingrained 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. Popular areas like Connaught Place, Hauz Khas Village, and Cyber Hub in Gurgaon are known for their trendy venues and lively atmosphere. For a more relaxed evening, there are numerous cafés and rooftop bars that provide stunning city views and a more laid-back vibe. New Delhi also offers cultural experiences, such as late-night theatre performances, music concerts, and traditional dance shows, giving a taste of the city's rich heritage.
