Bars in Amritsar are generally of the dingy-seedy variety and with a wholly male clientele, although the ones in high end hotels offer a better ambience. We suggest you head to the Golden Temple after 10 pm. The crowds thin out by this hour and the temple looks divine, its golden domes reflected in the Amrit Sarovar. A gentle breeze ruffles the water and the lights shimmer in it while the Shabad Kirtan gently soothes your frayed nerves. Even atheists will be moved by the tranquility.
