In case you’re looking for places to hit the dance floor, party like there’s no tomorrow and get wasted and hog some great food, we have got you covered.
Most people either get confused between a pub, bar and club or substitute them for each other. But there’s a difference between a pub, a bar and a club, not huge, but there is some. A pub is a place that has alcohol served, food to eat and a dance floor to get grooving. A bar is traditionally a place that has alcoholic drinks and finger food to munch. A club is a place traditionally known for socialising or hanging out with friends over drinks, games and dinner.
Here’s a list of the best pubs, clubs and bars in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Goa! Read on and make reservations!
