A decade ago 'nightlife' was an alien concept to Delhi's average Joe. Lesser exposed than its favoured cousin, Mumbai, the city finally caught up to the culture of a life beyond the twilight hour. Now, with a rising income and a steadily increasing cosmopolitan workforce, Delhi's youth are always ready to party. While Delhi city definitely retains a bit of its conservative nature, what with it still being considered unsafe for women, the city's commercial boom has brought along with it a much desired metropolitan culture.
Now, New Delhi has a thriving nightlife with pubs, lounge bars, discotheques and clubs dotting the city, offering everything from live music, adventurous cocktails, foreign DJs, state of the art technology to theme based nights. The pubs and clubs are choc a bloc throughout the week and it's the weekend when the discotheques really go wild with the PYTs of Delhi gyrating on the floor. With a plethora of night haunts now open in the city, Delhi seems to have arrived.
