He Said She Said

Shooter central

Amazingly, this is India’s first shot bar and was the talk of the town within months of opening. Located in Delhi’s most stylish suburb, Hauz Khas Village, it is a fun, relaxed hangout and serves as a great pre-party meeting place or end-of-the-night extra. Divided into seven categories – Layered, Chocolatey/Creamy, Fruity, Spicy, It's Different, Balls of Steel and Ice Cream Shots – the shooters here cover every angle… try the fruity Deep Purple, and the Kahlua and Baileys-based Rocket Fuel.

31 Hauz Khas Village, (Ground and 1st Floor), New Delhi 110016

Q’BA

Love to lounge

Named one of the 50 best bars in the world, Q'BA has quickly earned a reputation as one of Delhi's most popular venues. Trendy without piling on the pressure to be glam, it is spread over two floors with an island bar on the lower level and a dining area upstairs. Two open-air terraces create a bright and breezy feel and offer great views by day. By night, a DJ spins the latest tunes so you can hit the dance floor with a cocktail… try the Express Elevator, a cool vodka and raspberry concoction.

The Zoo

For those in the know

Located within one of Delhi’s top attractions, the beautiful Garden of Five Senses, The Zoo is an after-dinner bar with leafy surroundings and sparkly, low-lit rooms. One of the only non-club venues in Delhi to host regular gigs and DJs, its music ranges from electro to jazz. Although tiny, this is a unique nightspot that attracts only classy customers and puts on fantastic sunset parties on Sundays. Sit inside, under a laser light display in the dome, or head outside to get cosy with nature.

Soi 7

Action and entertainment

Sitting atop a new shopping mall, Soi 7 is a truly unusual, unmissable venue. Serving fine Asian fare as well as housing a microbrewery with a performance stage and a boxing ring (yes, really!), it’s a real crowd-pleaser. Live bands and comedians are regulars, while the vibrant terrace hosts Thai kickboxing and the quiet balcony has courtyard views. The four brewed-on-site beers are named after boxing moves and you can take a tasting journey through them. A sure-fire fun night out.
