TURQUOISE COTTAGE AND HARD ROCK CAFÉ
If you are a diehard rock lover, some hot discs are Turquoise cottage in Gurgaon and Hard Rock Café in Saket, Delhi. Stag entry is allowed in Hard Rock Café. Both these discs are a must for rock lovers. I have not seen a single disc/restaurant bar in Delhi NCR that plays better rock than both of them.
SOHO IN ASHOK CHANAKYAPURI
Good lounge music, small dance floor, drinks are okay. Ambience is moving towards “ethnic” and does not quite mix with the general atmosphere.
CALYPSO IN HAUZKHASVILLAGE
Good music, primarily house - though they have come up with a whole new music genre “commercial house” aka remixes again! Ambience is funky, good drinks, and friendly service. Small dance floor (bigger than Soho) and by midnight, there isn't much place to move around. Not sure how many people actually go there to freak out and enjoy the music.
THE DECK IN GURGAON
A great venue with a good dance floor, unfortunately the management has failed to realize the potential of the place. DJs bordering from bad to mediocre and they will NOT play House no matter how hard you try. I would not recommend the drinks here, if you must - go for sealed bottles. Food is not bad.
CAPITOL IN HOTEL ASHOK, CHANAKYAPURI
Nice big dance floor, friendly bar staff, drinks are okay. The staff at the entrance is definitely dodgy and damn irritating in terms of fluctuating entrance charges. Usually caters to the usual B/P music crowd, BUT if you try hard enough, from around 2 a.m. onwards the DJ does play house and usually some great selections.
DECIBEL AT HOTEL SAMRATH IN CHANAKYAPURI
Decibel plays popular and commercial music. The less said about the decor the better - uncomfortable seating and usually it is either too dark or too bright. Food is good and drinks are okay.
BUZZ IN SAKET
Buzz is very cheesy with loud decor. Music is too loud but the selections are okay. Drinks okay and service average.
MOJOS IN GURGAON
Mojo has small dance floor and usual commercial and popular music. Ambience is more of a restaurant.
