Bengaluru (Bangalore) Nightlife
Bengaluru has a reputation for being one of India’s most modern, cosmopolitan cities for nightlife, but local licensing laws prohibit alcohol from being served after 2300. This means evenings out start and finish early, but locals still fit in plenty of partying.
Bengaluru drinkers are fickle and pubs, bars and lounges come and go, though a few stalwarts have stood the test of time. Besides checking out the latest hotspots, you'll have the chance to experience live music, theatre, classical concerts and dance shows.
