The best bars and cafés - Rajasthan in 2024

Practical information : Take a break Rajasthan

Timetable

With the exception of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, nightlife is limited to a minimum. In these cities, you'll find trendy bars, where the music is often cranked up to the max. They open at around 4pm and close at midnight or later. In Delhi, there's a 24/7 bar called Kitty Su.

In medium-sized towns, you can find places to have a beer, often small restaurants for Western tourists.

In the villages, nightlife is non-existent and people go to bed early.

Budget & Tips

Alcohol is expensive in India, and of poor quality. All strong spirits are distilled in the country: vodka, whisky, gin, rum. You can also find wine produced in the Nashik region of Maharashtra or around Bangalore. It is very expensive and of poor quality. Beer is also brewed in India.

Imported spirits are only available in palaces and certain trendy bars.

Age restrictions

In India, 18 years of age is required to drink alcohol. Women's consumption of alcohol is highly frowned upon, especially in rural areas.

What's very local

Indians may not drink much alcohol (in public), but there's one tradition you won't want to miss: chai. This spicy, very sweet milk tea is drunk by Indians at all hours of the day. There's even a quasi-official break at 10 a.m. in government offices. The best chai is served in disposable clay cups and boiled in copper pots.

Kids

Children are not welcome in places where alcohol is consumed. On the other hand, you can take them anywhere else, including small cafés.

Smokers

Smoking is officially prohibited in public places. Some bars and nightclubs without terraces have a room reserved for smokers, equipped with powerful smoke extractors, as in airports.

Tourist traps

There are no notorious tourist traps when it comes to cafés and bars. On the other hand, never accept illegally produced alcohol. Some adulterated spirits can literally blind you.
