If you want a night on the town, your best bet is one of the hotel bars, which are usually open from about 11 am to 3 pm and 7 pm to 11:30 pm. Many hotels stage cultural programs for their guests, such as the dance performances with dinner at the Panghat Lawnt Hall, at the Rambagh Palace.
The rooftop bar and restaurant serves late lunches and dinner, and several nights a week the room is cleared of tables to create a dance floor. Come for pizza or Indian snacks, and stay for cold beers, cocktails, and either a DJ or performances by local musicians. There's a range of modern pop, hip-hop, and eclectic acts, and the floor pulses with twenty- and thirty-somethings on dates and out with friends.
Hotel nightclubs usually open around dinnertime and shut by midnight, but this place is open 11–11. A local crowd will come here to dance on Saturday (the only night there's a disco); otherwise it's just a pub.They have happy hours with drinks 50% off on certain days.
