From what we have experienced, there doesn't seem to be a huge drinking culture in India; there are no casual bars down the street to have a few casual beers after work (not that we saw anyway). We were told that it would be difficult for us to get alcohol but some of our more laid back Indian volunteers offered to take us out drinking. We all crammed into autos and headed off to a place called Hauz Khas village. This was basically the equivalent of the local strip and was pretty westernised. Most of the music is western and it’s one of those places where you feel like you could be anywhere in the world. Most of the places seem to close around 1am, when the police shut them down. Delhi is definitely the city that always sleeps. Don’t expect to buy anything after 11pm, you might have to travel for ages to find anywhere still open at that time.
