So far I have been to "10 Downing Street", "Dublin", and "Bottles and Chimneys". They are medium size bars with very small dance floor. The music varies from pop to house to rock. At Dublin they have live music every night. The live music consists of 2 Korean or Thai girls and a piano player. They are very good at singing the popular American and European songs and sometimes even Hindi.
The male to female ratio sucks unfortunately. To overcome this problem some bars only let in couples so you have to have a date to get in. Well, this is even worse than the original problem. Oh, well.
Twice in the past week I have seen reporters from local news paper or TV stations at these bars. They are interested in reporting on what hip people do in Hyderabad. So apparently it is pretty easy to get yourself onto the local news paper.
Hyderabad is very conservative city compared to Mumbi and Bangalore. Only 5 years ago the city was completely dry. All the current bars have sprouted up in the past couple of years. So it is slowly getting better.
Drinks are very very expensive. They cost anywhere between 150 to 500 Rs. or about $3-$10 US. That is insanely expensive for local people and this pretty much cuts out any students or non professional people from ever frequenting these places.
The community of people that go out to bars is pretty small. So you see many familiar faces.
