A few insider tips for Delhi nightlife

If you’re staying near South Delhi, Hauz Khas Village is your nightlife hub. Avoid going deep into the village late at night alone since it can get a little quiet and dark. Instead, stick around the central area where most bars cluster.

Look for bar names like 'Raasta' or 'Hauz Khas Social',they give you this chill vibe but still pack on the energy once the music starts. Oh, and don’t miss Happy Hours, which often happen early evening and can save you a lot on pricey cocktails. Lastly, weekends mean crowds, so if you’re not a fan of waiting hours, try weeknights or start your night early.
