Personally.. I haven't been there.. you can chk out and share the experience... :)

Pubs without "Dancing Damsels" are no show.

Hotel Arun,Imperial,Pals had Cabaret shows long ago...Are they alive?

How is the night life in CMBT now? Six years back I had a chance to sleep there one night, it went to sleeping mode after 2am and was promptly woken up by the security guys at 5am.

is Dublin still around ?

^^ Sure is.. At Park Sheraton..

There is a pub in Santhome called liquid. It's located on the main road. http://hotelmajesticpark.com/bar.html

I traveled from thiruvanmiyur to st Josephs college last week and was surprised to see a couple of permit rooms/bars on the main road. And i also heard that aloft Hotels has a good pub which is also on the Omr near srp.:cheers:

I don't think security guys are there at CMBT now...

It has become sathiram!

2nd show cinema especially at Devi theater and walk on Anna Salai after the show, late night beach walk at besant nagar, marina and thiruvanmiyur beaches are one of most enjoyable night life in Chennai other than pubs and drinks.

what about discos?

Some more pubs in chennai:
Flame(Meridian),The Park,
hotel savera (SPARKS) & president (SWAY) both located in RK Salai.
Chennai Gateway (IGNITE)-Koyambedu circle.

The problem with Chennai is the Government makes is mandatory for atleast a 3-star hotel License to get a Bar License. This archaic Law has made sure, there are no Standalone Pubs (Like in Bangalore). So if you can count the number of 3-start hotels in Chennai, those are the number of bars/pubs operating in Chennai.

Expecting a change very soon.

This one is good !!:cheers:

The change better come fast as the young and the talented youngsters think twice about relocating to chennai as they feel the city is lil low on the entertaintment quotient. I had a client from singapore who was surprised to find that there are only a handful of discos and pubs for a city of this size. I had to defend my city by showing him the cultural aspect of the city but that did impress him but he still felt the entertainment must be encourage.

Stand alone pubs and discos must be allowed to function in the city.

HFO(Hell freezes over) is still there? or closed. once upon time they rocked chennai and closed and then opened again.

HFO was KD brothers - one of the initial ventures. They threatened the Aruna Inn owner and bull dozed their way in.

But JJ forced it to close.

But HFO was the most popular at that time.

In a recent article; it was stated that it was owned by dayanithi maran

we have plenty of pubs - only that they are in most five star hotels.

Bikes and Barrels, Geoffreys, Li Royal Meridian Flames, Star Rocks (Rajinikanth's own pub), each five star hotel has a good pub. Discos and dance floors was banned during the DMK period in the 70's i think.

All the shops inside the mall should open till midnight will enhance chennai nightlife even better.

Night fever in Chennai

A popular night club in the heart of the city recently celebrated its ninth anniversary with a line-up of activities that left the revellers begging for more.

Kicking things into top gear with a fashion show that featured some of the hottest models from Chennai and beyond, the gathering was a jam-packed event, populated by high-fliers, PYTs, movers and shakers from across the city.

The ladies were the centre of attention as they showcased some uber-hip ensembles and accessories for all seasons.

Priya was a showstealer with her sexy, multihued evening dress that stopped folks in their tracks. Aaliyah and Diana also raised the temperature with their sultry summer dresses, while Arpita opted for a sensuous black outfit.

All the shops inside the mall should open till midnight will enhance chennai nightlife even better.

There is running dispute between the labor dept and shop owners in malls & T Nagar / Purasawakkam traders.

The labor dept insists that the shift total time should not exceed 8 working hours, whereas, in practice, they work for close to 14 to 16 hours / day.

This and police permission hampers night time opening. Many petrol bunks are being robbed at nights and the Police does not want such situation in malls.

The groovy cruise

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/article_horizontal/article-images/cruise.jpg.crop_display.jpg

Cruise bashes are common enough in the party capitals of the world — recently, Chennai played host to its first mid-sea party organised by AMET.

Adults, decked in their beachwear, sipped wine and later sizzled on the dance floor.

The ambience was uber-luxe. It’s a double treat for Chennai party lovers as they get to party on sea and until early morning.

Rajesh Ramachandran, vice chairman of AMET shipping, the organiser of the parties, says, “Most party destinations in the city close down by 10 — 10.30, but those rules do not apply on cruise parties as we sail in international waters. The party goes on till late.”

The concept has come as a breath of fresh air for those who wished for a better party scene in the city. Rajesh adds, “The youngsters are our main target and we are glad to begin a new trend in the city.”

Television actor Tinku was seen attending one of these mid-sea parties, along with his family and friends.

“This is the second time I am attending a cruise party — I had been to one in Dubai some time ago. The entire experience is different and there are many activities that can be planned out. The hosts were great and made sure that all our demands were met.”

Tinku was so much into the partying spirit that he and his friends did not mind spending some extra bucks. “They were auctioning this navigation map signed by Miss India Kanishka, and we bought it for `32,000. This is the first time I have done this and it was so much fun.”

Even the fashion show organised on the ship was different. “Walking on a ship is way more difficult than walking on the floor but the models carried it off really well,” says fashion choreographer Ganesh Gurung.

Talking about such parties, he says, “It’s a new experience all together. Yes, it’s expensive but that way you keep the riff-raff crowd at bay. It’s safe and everybody has a good time. The best part is that you don’t have to stop by 10.30 pm. My fashion show started only by 1 am.”

The organisers believe that not many players might want to join the bandwagon. Rajesh says, “Well, we are finding it difficult to get the concept across. It might not jump-up in the near future and I have my doubts about new players coming in.”

But for now, the party anthem is, Please don’t stop the music.
