We’ve all been there—you dress up, gather your squad, pay a ridiculous cover charge, and then spend the night standing in a corner, sipping a sad, watery cocktail while some DJ absolutely butchers a 2012 Pitbull track. Worst. Night. Ever.
But when a club gets it right? Oh man, that’s a whole different story. The bass hits just right, the crowd actually knows how to party, the drinks aren’t just overpriced sugar bombs, and for once, you’re having a night so good that your phone stays in your pocket. That’s the kind of energy we’re talking about.
We’ve scoured the country to find 15 of the best clubs in India where the party isn’t just a promise—it’s a guarantee. So, if you’re done wasting weekends at places that feel like overpriced house parties with bad lighting, this is your ultimate party guide. Bring your A-game, book that Uber in advance, and get ready for some absolute chaos.
Summer House Cafe, Delhi
This place is a Hauz Khas legend. The kind of spot where you can start the night chilling on the rooftop and end it dancing like nobody’s watching.

Summer House is famous for its live music, with indie bands, jazz nights, and even some international artists stopping by. The drinks? Solid. The crowd? A mix of Delhi’s artsy kids, cool expats, and people who actually enjoy music. If you’re over pretentious clubs where people just stand around, this place is a breath of fresh air. It’s where you can drink, dance, and vibe out without feeling like you’re trying too hard.
Tantra, Kolkata
If you’ve partied in Kolkata, you’ve definitely been to Tantra. This place is massive, with two bars, neon lights, and a dance floor that actually gets wild.

The DJ lineup is always on fire, spinning everything from hip-hop to house to Bollywood bangers (without overdoing it). The drinks are strong, the vibes are high, and the best part? It stays open late, which means the party doesn’t end at midnight.
Ricky’s Clubhouse, Thane
This one’s for the ones who love Bollywood nights, casual vibes, and a club that feels like a massive house party with super cool Pinteresty artwork hanging on the walls around. Ricky’s is the kind of place where you can go from laughing at a stand-up gig to dancing your heart out in a span of two hours.

Whether you’re dancing under the stars or just sipping a cocktail with your feet in the sand, this place makes you feel like you’re in a dream. Go once, and you’ll never want to leave.
Vault, Pune
If James Bond had a favorite club, it would probably look like Vault. This place is slick, stylish, and packed with an elite crowd who actually know their drinks. Think plush interiors, low lighting, and a bar so well-stocked it could double as a liquor museum. But don’t let the sophistication fool you—Vault knows how to bring the heat when it counts. The DJs drop everything from deep house to techno, ensuring the energy stays high till late. The mixologists here don’t just pour drinks; they craft them. So if you’re sick of vodka-cranberries that taste like cough syrup, this is where you go to drink like an adult. Pune’s nightlife can be hit-or-miss, but Vault is consistently top-tier.

Start with a cocktail (or five), get a little reckless on the dancefloor, and before you know it, you’re vibing to some insane remixes at 2 AM, wondering how the night flew by. It’s got a bit of a Bollywood-meets-EDM vibe, which means high-energy tracks, lots of bass drops, and a crowd that loves to dance. If you’re looking for a wild, full-throttle party, this is it.
The Piano Project, Indore

Naila Club, Jaipur
Jaipur is known for its grand palaces and rich history, but when the night falls, Naila Club is where the real fun begins. It is inside the beautiful Naila Bagh Palace, so while you are dancing and taking shots, you are also technically partying in a palace. That alone makes it a place worth visiting. The club is open-air, which means you are dancing under the stars, feeling the cool night breeze, and soaking in the atmosphere. The music is a mix of deep house, popular hits, and a little bit of Bollywood to keep the energy going. If you are in Jaipur and want a party experience that feels different from the usual clubs, Naila Club is the place to be. It has history, energy, and a setting that makes every night feel special.
Slink & Bardot, Mumbai
Slink & Bardot is one of those places that just feels right the moment you step inside. It’s tucked behind a red door in Worli Koliwada, and once you walk in, it’s like you’ve entered a different world. It’s not loud or flashy like most Mumbai clubs. Instead, it’s warm, intimate, and effortlessly cool. The lighting is dim, the decor is vintage, and the seating is so comfortable you’ll want to stay all night. The drinks here are actually worth it. Some nights, you’ll find artists, musicians, and interesting people deep in conversation over cocktails. Other nights, the music picks up, and the place turns into a small, intimate dance floor where the energy is just right—not too wild, not too dull.
Ottello, Goa
If Goa’s party scene was a playlist, Ottello would be the deep house track you keep playing on loop.

It’s got the best drinks in town, a lively crowd, and a DJ setup that keeps the energy up till late. The interiors are fancy AF, making you feel like you’re clubbing inside a palace (because you kind of are). The crowd is a fun mix of locals, tourists, and people who just love a good party. If you’re in Udaipur and want a wild night out without sacrificing aesthetics, BigShot delivers.
