We all know Delhi Nightlife is sad. Every place kicks off after 10:30 pm only to play the last song of the night at 12:30 am. We all know that really disappointing feeling when we’re dancing and shouting at the top of our voices only to find the Dj has already stopped playing and yellow bright lights of the club are switched on to dilate our drunk pupils. Let’s make sure this never happens again because we’re going to list the places you can just straight up head to when you’re not ready for the non-commitment the early-shutting bars provide. They might be a tad bit expensive but you have to lose some to gain some.
