Bangalore’s booming nightlife, all before 11:30pm Bangalore has worked hard to earn its nickname, Pub City. For years, the IT epicentre has been South India’s unofficial bar capital, a bustling city of chic rooftops, hole-in-the-wall bars, and dozens of venues in between. But don’t come here for the usual rounds of Kingfisher – though that is readily available should you want it – there are craft beers on tap, full-fledged wineries nearby and a nightlife scene that could rival that of any major metropolis (if only they could do something about the government-imposed 11:30 pm curfew).

Linger long enough and you may catch the sun setting over the hills. Less than a kilometre away on Nandidurga Road, the Nandi Valley Winery <http://www.nandivalleywinery.com/winery.html> also offers tours and tastings and has rooms available for vinophiles who are thirsty enough for more than a day trip. As at Grover, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon are the standout varietals. Of course, you do not have to leave the city to get a taste of the region’s increasing appetite for quality alcohol. On Magrath Road in Bangalore’s Ashok Nagar neighbourhood, Arbor Brewing Company<https://www.facebook.com/arborbrewindia>(ABC) is the Indian branch of a mini chain of craft beer bars that started on the other side of the world, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Bangalore native Gaurav Sikka fell in love with the original ABC Brewpub<http://www.arborbrewing.com/pub/>while studying at the University of Michigan. After returning to his hometown, Sikka pitched the idea of a sub-continental expansion to ABC’s founders, Matt and Rene Greff. ** *"....
