Update Dec05 (Thanks cuppadamoksha !)
180Proof is now closed and a new revamped lounge bar has opened there...its called 1912. Try it out !
BEFORE: 180 Proof
It's a dance club in the front part, a lounge at the back. Very modern and located right off.
The place has a very high ceiling and the DJ Booth is up in the air. Quite impressive.
The nightlife IN Bangalore stops quite early by law. Better show up early because by 11PM...things start to close.
Dress Code: Proper attire required. Show up with girls if you don't want to sweat for a few hours outside.

Hmmm.. This place is one of the most happening places in Bangalore . The crowd is top class. Entry is Rs 700 /- that is a cover charge . You can redeem the amount on food and drink inside . The best days to be there are Wed / Fri / Sat . Music is amazing along with fantastic women and wine ... All the rich n snooty crowd in Blore party at the BLUE BAR :)
Tucked away in a little nook at the TAJ WESTEND ( 5 STAR HOTEL ) .Worth every Rupee you spend there. Music n booze stop at 12 every night but you can stay on until 4 am on the weekends .
Dress Code: Wear anything hip and completely stylish or else you are gonna look completely out of place .

Pecos is an unassuming old Pub just off Brigade Road . They play retro music only , none of the techno stuff here . The crowd is great . Not the young teeny boper kinds . Reasonably priced food . Pecos open on Sunday for the best BRUNCH u can get . It only cost Rs 50 /- and you gets tons of food :)
Dress Code: Anything Goes

Just Another Pub, known only as JAP is a pub like it sounds. Its a small joint on the 2/3 floor.
Shetty the owner is an affable guy, who'll make u feel very comfy there....that explains why most of the customers are regulars.....They play soft rock to hard metal as the night progresses.
They also serve a speciality ....its called kori roti which is eaten with chicken curry.....it is pretty spicy but ull enjoy it.
The place can get crowded on weekends so go early to get a good table.
Dress Code: Any casual will do.....dont over dress!!

Perhaps this is one of Bangalore's most happening spots, catering mainly to yuppies with fat wallets from Bangalore's IT boom. The place is actually a hodgepodge of restos, bars, lounges and dancefloors that provide a multifarious experience to the nightowls. One could choose to simply lounge around and chat with friends or bang heads with other dance freaks.
Its location - rooftop of some modern building - gives the place an airy (and wet and stormy during monsoons) ambiance.
Great place!
Dress Code: Smart casual should do. But there is no harm in dressing up a little bit.

Bangalore is the pub city of India.. you will find lots of pubs in and around MG road and Brigade road area.. one will find pubs which play variety of music ranging from pop, hip hop, soft rock, heavy rock... purple haze is a good place for rock music lovers... one of the dissapointing thing in bangalore is that all pubs and restaurants will close well before mid-night..
Dress Code: wear anything... no dress code..

My first nights in Bangalore were quite traumatizing. I heard stories of how single guys were kept in different sections than girls (when there's any) and how the pubs were filled with 50 guys for 1 girl.
Well my first few nights made me believe it was true. First, some pubs won't let you in unless your accompanied. Then, they won't let you on the dance floor or close to it.
Fortunately, I went to the afterhours "The Club"...world class !
Although I had to go accompanied to get in "The Club", the atmosphere inside was awesome. There is a big dance floor, 2 levels, an incredibly big outdoor patio that can fits hundred or people
Dress Code: No Dress Code but must be accompanied if you're a male.

Nightlife
India has generally little nightlife as the term is understood in the West, although in major cities a few Western-style shows, clubs and discos are being developed. In most places the main attraction will be cultural shows featuring performances of Indian dance and music. The Indian film industry is the largest in the world, now producing three times as many full-length feature films as the USA. Mumbai is the country's 'Hollywood'. Almost every large town will have a cinema, some of which will show films in English. Music and dancing are an important part of Indian cinema. Larger cities may have theatres staging productions of English-language plays.

U have pubs playing different styles of music....if ur a metal freak then styx is the place u would wanna visit....if ur a rock fan listenin to the 60s and 70s music then purple haze is a great place.....u also have clubs and discotheques.....but one proiblem with this place is dat all the clubss have to shut down by 12-00.
