Combine affluence with a young, educated demographic, and plenty of expats - and in Bangalore, you get a lively, cosmopolitan nightlife to rival any city in India. In fact, so active is the bar scene, that Bangalore has earned the moniker 'Pub Capital of India'. Popular hangouts include Pecos, famed for its jazz, draft beer and loyal clientele; Zero G for its many dance floors, Wednesday-night Bollywood theme and spectacular city views; and Fuga, a swanky nightspot on Residency Road. Also along Residency Road is Casa Del Sol, popular for its Salsa Sundays. Last orders are generally taken at 11.30pm so don't expect too many late nights. Many bars and clubs segregate men and women, incredibly, in a largely futile bid to preserve moral standards. A positive aspect of Bangalore's nightlife is that walking between venues late at night is perfectly safe.
