I think there's one called Tangy resort which has a beach facing pub named 99ft. Correct me if am wrong

TASMAC AC bars :lol:

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.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/parties/chennai/Night-fever-in-Chennai/articleshow/9322876.cms

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.

This thread has become a dormant one..why no updates ?

@Raji7373,
Now that you have kick started it. Why cant the govt give liquor permits for 5 star hotels. Even the grand chola is not able to serve permit for the first few months due to archaic rules set by the govt of tamil nadu.

dont generalise as if you know everything about Chennai and Chennaities.

Actually, there are plenty of news coming up especially in Chennai Times(ToI) and Metroplus..

Its just that no one is posting those things here..

P.S: I generally don't care much about such news items.. Hence, I just skip them from posting here.

Yup, i had to take some of our company guests to ITC grand chola, due this constraint I have to stick on to raintree...

Let us post all that comes in metro plus, chennai times..etc.

two weeks back was in bangalore... u can easily get all types of liquor from local to international at major malls where they have allocated some space exclusively for it... like duty free shop at chennai airport... wish at least we have shops like these in chennai... many prefer going to costly pubs here rather than buying them at Tasmac which is well understandable..

They can allow pubs with Family room ( No Joking it is available in most of the pubs in Bangalore) in Chennai also. So couples wanting to have a peaceful drink can spend quality time rather wasting money in big hotels or taking the pains of taking it home.

Prasanth there was a proposal to sell liquor in supermarkets but very stiff opposition from all sides

The group which you are referring is still struck with Mega TV serial till 11 PM . There is a new group of Chillng out young Chennaivasis influenced by Northies meaning of Chilling out who throng these pubs. Not only restricted to IT, ITES and BPO. But from all lucrative background.

In Chennai, Business Class prefers Clubs to Pubs / Bars due to noise. It is much cheaper too.

Yes sir, the times ( and Chennaivasis) are changing as we speak . Btw ...sorry but I did not mean to hurt anyone's feelings here . It was a very general observation about the posts on other sub-forums ;) .Hope you did not take offence to this:)

In the early 1990's one could buy booze in Spencer Plaza in the Spencer's Supermarket. Sadly that place too closed.

One does not need a drink to do what you have mentioned below. To stop this one has to respect women for what they are. Only then this will stop. All these happens in villages (both north and south) where there is nothing close to entertainment. Pls dont blame the pubs and night cubs wholly for this. Pls dont generalize. :cheers:

There is a tasmac in Spencer plaza phase 1 first floor So ppl can buy booze in the mall.

I think Spencer plaza is the only mall in Chennai with a Tasmac.

Which means it is the only Mall in the world to have Tasmac. Wondering if they to sell and serve there itself.

Could be a genuine doubt :).....as hospitality is entrenched in their culture .... the Japanese women are considered to be great hosts . The geishas were world famous :)

There are no stand alone concepts for bar and night club due to some "Jurassic age" rules. All the bars which look like stand alones have a few rooms to bye-pass these stupid laws. I love my City but we are behind all other cities on the entertainment front. It is the stand alones which bring in the difference. I hope the authorities wake up.

I remember Wlbkng posting this song (where the guy sings it in a studio) in Tamil Songs thread. Now it has got its own video eh?

Man this song is totally f**ked up (intent). The worst part is that the guy is trying to hide behind the facade of respecting his mother.

My advice is never show this video to your girl.. even if it for sharing a laugh. Way too chauvinistic.

How is this chauvinistic ? If anything, it merely breaks some preconcieved stereotypes ....my advice is show this video to your girl ...and if she doesn't concur or appreciate satire..ask her to take a hike !!!

I find tamil to be a nice language to rap in....There is a kind of nice rhythm to it(Hope the traditionalists don't take offence:lol:)

Of course the best language would be spanish...simply brilliant....

The Tamil "maanam" which was preserved for centuries when the guys were boozing suddenly starts to be endangered when the girls entered clubs and started boozing? I mean this is the definition of male chauvinism right?

And no thanks :)

Regarding the election anthem - fair enough. He may be well meaning guy but that particular song is in poor taste.

Thank you so much for this link.

I first heard this song in a night club in Rome some years ago, then heard a bit of this music in Shivaji. Since then I have been trying to find this song in youtube but with no luck.

Well for starters he does not express any superiority over the female sex ...and as I said earlier, it's satire and can offend more than half the population in TN if taken seriously. Aana nadakkuratha thaanee solraaru ..sirichittu vittudunga boss :)

Btw i heard there are quite a few equally nasty responses to his video on youtube .I have heard one of them...Adi's song seemed like a nursery rhyme compared to it ;).

This is his own reply to fans & critics

“‘Club Le Mubbule’ was first done six years ago when I was 17 or 18, and in the first year of college. Nobody knew me then. But when we started taking it seriously and doing this as a project about a year ago and approached radio stations, they helped us and the song went viral. Today, I realise that I am nobody to tell you can’t drink or you can’t do that. But when I wrote it, I was a kid. I had a different mindset. Some girls like the song while some boys don’t agree with it. To those who like it, thank you and to those who don’t, I am sorry if I hurt your feelings.”

Thank you so much for this link.

yeah.. parking is a headache once it's crowded...

Very true!!!! Parking is a nightmare there but in the evenings after 8 it is lil more relaxed. Which means head to the place for dinner. I think the proposed multi-level parking may reduce the stress of parking there.

New boutique spirit firms outdo peers (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/New-boutique-spirit-firms-outdo-peers/articleshow/17671561.cms)

Sushma U N, TNN | Dec 19, 2012, 03.14AM IST
After a wave of brewpubs and microbreweries, boutique spirit firms are uncorking across the country. Over the last few years, little known boutique spirit firms have mushroomed across the country in line with the trend in the US and Europe, and are growing faster than the big boys, driven by innovative products and unique tastes.

Boutique spirit firms are essentially ones that make spirits in a much smaller scale in micro-distilleries. "It is a sort of a bonsai version- you round off the spillage from a conventional distillery and that is our entire production," says the founder of Agave Spirits, Desmond Nazareth. Nazareth's firm is among the few to own a micro distillery and manufactures margarita blends, agave spirits and orange liqueurs.

The boutique spirits industry was born in India about five years ago when companies found that there were several holes left unplugged in the premium spirits business and decided to play in categories like flavoured Vodka, Indian versions of Tequila or scented brandy, that were too small for large companies to bother about.

"Large multinationals brought in premiumness into India, and led to the creation of newer categories of spirits, but their sheer size wouldn't let them bring out products in these niche categories, opening up huge opportunities for boutique firms," says the director of chennai-based boutique vodka firm Sipping Spirits, Prasanna Natarajan.

A maturing Indian market, changes in lifestyle, and desire for newer tastes and refined needs of Indians has led to the discovery of newer products. Sipping Spirits, for instance, has come out with tender coconut flavoured vodka and coffee flavoured vodka. "We are increasingly seeing such products in hotels and bars and people prefer such products. Liqueurs and spirits other than the regular citrus flavoured vodka are getting popular and we are seeing new brands bringing such products," said chief executive officer, Sumedh Singh Mandla, Aspri Spirits, a distributor of branded spirits.

Tastes apart, companies are also looking at a different target audience. While women have gained a larger mindshare for companies, companies are also going upcountry with their products to increase exposure to premium liquor. While Goa is currently India's micro-distillery capital, boutique firms have their presence in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Pondicherry.

"US has tapped out, Europe only has small growth areas, and with increasing income levels and more exposure, the Asian and Indian market is opening up," Agave's Nazareth said. As a person who was among the first to set up a micro distillery in India, Nazareth says he gets several calls asking for advice everyday from entrepreneurs looking to enter the business. "Every large international spirits conglomerate too is looking at increasing base in India and are making localized products," he says.

The good thing about this business is that once you get into a new category and establish yourself, you're safe because others wouldn't tap into that but look at other categories since there are numerous categories that large firms don't play in and are left open for smaller companies, says Natarajan.

Yet, despite attractive business opportunities, policy issues seem to be standing in the way of the industry's growth. Regulations, for instance, are the same for all distilleries irrespective of the quantity of liquor manufactured. "We need to work the way any large distillery does though it doesn't make business sense," Nazareth pointed out.

Rookie Firm No 1 In TN's Vodka Mkt

CHENNAI: Little-known spirits firm Sipping Spirits has emerged as the largest seller of premium Vodka in Tamil Nadu, with sales of its Resolute Pink Vodka seeing a 24% jump from 4,428 crates in November this year compared with 3,548 crates the previous month, driving up overall sales of premium Vodka. The non-descript start-up manufactures niche varieties of colored and flavoured Vodka. The firm's presence in a niche segment and innovation has edged out larger players like Bacardi and Radico Khaitan from the top slot. "The company's focus on upcountry markets helped increasing sales, along with the shift of contract manufacturing from Southern Agri Furane Industries to Mohan Breweries and Distilleries," said director, Prasanna Natarajan, Sipping Spirits.

This has been happening from December, 2012.

Police checking almost every vehicle plying past midnight at almost all important roads, junctions, near Ministers houses etc.

2 wheeler guys are more prone to harassment.

My face has become very familiar to most of the police as I cross them almost every day past midnight.

They ask you to put on the lights inside the car and check the boot, back seats etc.

They even note down the vehicle no.

On 25th Jan night, even videos were taken at Luz & Adyar Bridge.

^^Yea, they have checks all along the commute and won't believe if v say that we just showed all docs only couple of km back at another checkpost. Have to repeat process everywhere.

^^ Damn expensive :(
Wish there are standalone pubs here in chennai.

Archaic and ancient rules is holding back good stand alonbe pubs from popping up.

Police checking has become very intensive during nights. They even had mock terrorists (selected police personnel as Terrorists) targeting Chennai and the rest of the police identifying & catching them.

Chennai is the party capital?

The truth is, even Chennaiites can’t quite believe it. As for Bengalureans, it’s almost like a matter of national shame.

But, there is no taking away from the fact that Chennai has become Bengaluru’s new party haunt. Even Hyderabad’s leading stars including Manoj Manchu, Rana Daggubati and Allu Arjun drop by the city for a nightout with pals.

A mere five-hour drive away from Bangalore, and more importantly, boasting relaxed club and pub timings, the our city is playing host to an increasing number of youngsters who want to pub-hop without worrying about the clock striking the dratted 11.

This party exodus started in July, when the Tamil Nadu government announced its decision to extend club timings.

Bars at five-star hotels are now allowed to run round-the clock, while other star category hotels can keep their bars open for an extra hour.

Rahul Ponappa, a content writer who is heading to Chennai next weekend for a bachelor’s party, can’t quite believe the turn of events.

“Last year, when we had to throw a bachelor’s party, all my friends from Chennai came to Bengaluru because the options were more here,” he recalls, “This time, we’re all heading to Chennai, because we get to party there till 4 am. I’ve heard there are some pretty cool clubs there… let’s see how it pans out.”

Preethika Suresh, a business analyst who recently moved from Chennai, gushes, “When I moved to Bangalore six months back, people kept saying Chennai was the most boring city. Now my friends here have swallowed their words.

They want to go there almost every weekend!” Then, there is the fact that pub hopping is next to impossible when every club in Bengaluru has as Cinderella moment at 11.

Karan Mathews, a system engineer, rues, “The concept of pub-hopping is almost obsolete here, unless of course you head out in the afternoon.

” He adds, “Which is why, going to Chennai once every two or three weeks works out for those of us who finish work only at 9 pm.

Of course, I was initially apprehensive about partying in Chennai, but boy was I surprised. The venues are great, the crowd is fun-loving (and not stuck-up as I imagined) and the DJs are very good too.”

And since distance is hardly a concern, the weekend traffic on NH4 is now full of party-hoppers. “The party begins with the drive!” pipes student Ruth D’Mello, “The five-hour road trip is a pleasure thanks to the great roads, and the company of friends.

” Elaborating on their routine, she adds, “We usually head out on a Saturday morning at around 4 or 5 am, reach by 10, have breakfast and begin the revelries.

We begin hitting the clubs at around 9 pm, finish by 4 or 5 am, and start back on Sunday after a late breakfast.”

Youngsters who have no friends in that city, and don’t want to spend on accommodation, usually start from here on a Saturday evening, party through the night, and drive back after breakfast.

There are special BBM groups and social networking pages that plan pub-crawls. Usually a group begins at one spot and by the stroke of dawn end up at their final haunt.

Why not some cruise companies do late night cruises that will be a big hit and differentiate Chennai with other cities.

First allow standalone pubs. Not all can afford star hotel bars. Atha vitta natham pudicha tasmac thaan.

Nalla idea boss...but modhalla nadakkalaam apparamaa oodarathapathi yoosikkalaam :D. Like proprashanth said....standalone pubs standalone pubs standalone pubs. Along with that I hope private players would be allowed in future to sell alcohol....of course the govt can have restriction..but they should allow atleast some of the bigger players...like spencers, drop etc. to set up shop....

Even without this however CHennai is gifted with a lot of potential, which if used to the maximum can catapult her to the status of a serious contender for tourism ...she's got an amazing coastline ..dotted with hundreds if not thousands of resorts up until MAhabs and beyond....these places are all practically Chennai suburbs anyway :)

I saw somebody undertaking fast unto death for reintroducing total prohibition in TN in T'Nagar.

It's not practical to have total prohibition. Legal activities will be just made illegally.

^^ This is the only thread i hate in the entire skyscrapercity . I wish kannan one day bans this thread and removes it out of chennai . This is my Personal Opinion.

What night life ? If needed Our TN government has opened thousands of TASMAC's nook and corner of roads get something and go to home and drink may be two buckets full and jump top to bottom who cares !! Guys pls spare Chennai , let it be as it is !!

Well I strongly object to your idea of Chennai. What do u mean by saying let Chennai remain the way it is? I presume ur living in US now. Why dont u get back from US and live a conservative life here? Today ur living there in a city which isnt conservative, has active night life and lots and lots of tourists. Why shouldnt Chennai aspire to become a city like that? Its ur mentality that needs a makeover first. As a true Chennaivaasi, I want my city to be a global city and for that we need to adapt to certain things whether u like it or not

You beat me to it..perhaps TN2Usa equates night life + Pubs = RAPE + Prostitution + STDs...

@Tn2USA ... mate...we dont wish for Chennai to become a Sodom or a Gomorrah .....:) ... we're only saying "some" things should change....kapish ??
Thank god that it is only your personal opinion....as long as it only stays that way...there's still hope :cheers:

You want my definition of a safe city .....a city with stand alone pubs and a terrific night life where a single woman can safely visit these places without having to fear for her life or her relative "lack " of modesty.

Parents will be worried of their children coming safely from the pubs or bars late in the night.This is the situation in Bangaluru and Hyderabad.

Chennai Port to Pondy via Mahabalipuram has great potential :D

Not only for night cruise... a day time cruise will do magic for tourism industry.

Pls see my answers inline.

Exactly that is the reason why i want to come back to chennai :lol:


Today ur living there in a city which isnt conservative, has active night life and lots and lots of tourists. Why shouldnt Chennai aspire to become a city like that?

My aim is not to let down chennai or india , since you asked this question i have to reply with a proper answer and i am replying with facts.

1) Chennai/TamilNadu has the maximum number of accident deaths in India and having this pub culture will encourage and increase the number of people roaming after drinking and will increase the number of accidents. I know and see lots of bridges , roads , airports being built and i see tons of "world class" things under proposal as well . But i dont see anything done inregards to increase the safety of people travelling in the road . Having said that chennai/Tamilnadu is not ready now to have these pubs .



2) We all know how efficient and honest our police system is ,just one example out of thousands , there is a case against a very famous bolywood actor for rash and negligent driving and killing few people who slept on the floor and this case has been going on for atleast a decade and we all know why he is still free , do you think if he is a normal guy his case will run this long ? IMO The percentage of punishment is indirectly proportional to how powerful or how rich he is.


3) I dont think many tourists spend hundreds of dollars and board a flight just to go and drink in a pub and i believe now we have increased the bar and pub timings and we have become cosmopolitan etc so going by the facts ISUZU motors and few other business deals should have been signed in the pubs by high profile clients ? Why nothing happened.


Its ur mentality that needs a makeover first. As a true Chennaivaasi, I want my city to be a global city and for that we need to adapt to certain things whether u like it or not

Yes me too . Chennai is already a global city and certainly it got its name not by having pubs but having a culture and by producing few brilliant people

People who drink are going to get them anyway whether it's tasmac or Sheraton as you said, then how does Pub and rape capital correlate? Either you ban alcohol altogether(like Gujarat) or let people get them in more decent place. A standalone pub will let people to afford alcohol at a reasonable rate with better ambiance.
In other words it's like you are allowed to watch a movie either in a tent kottaai or in IMAX but not in normal cinema halls. It sounds crazy but that's what happening here when it comes to pubs.

^^ I am all for banning alcohol totally in TN . I am just asking the sugar coat taken out of the pill . If needed let them take the pill directly.

Kids having the guts of going to a TASMAC shop alone and buy liquor and consume it outside the shop.
vs
Kids having the guts of going to a Pub in the name of a get together with friends and buy liquor and consume it and doing any mischief as a group

I believe the probability of the second one happening is much much higher compared to first.

All I am asking is to reduce the number of shops / pubs where one can get alcohol.

Why not some cruise companies do late night cruises that will be a big hit and differentiate Chennai with other cities.

PUNCTUATING PUBS OF CHENNAI:-

Lets be practical shall we. if chennai needs to draw in crowds and get cosmopolitan it has to cater to every person out there which includes party goers. you cannot ask these high end social people to visit TASMAC. So its natural for pubs to come up. Complain or not, pubs will see a snowball effect over time because chennai is broadening in every aspect-IT,AUTO,BUISNESS.

obviously tasmac has done more harm than good for our state and its about time they removed.

^^
TASMAC is the brain child of AMMA.The same can be made presentable but local boozers wants them to be untidy.:lol:

I certainly dont mind clubs and pubs in any number as long as there is a variety in entertainment.It should not be like there is no other source of entertainment than just heading to the pub...Actually clubs that have entry free are fine, there is no need to get drunk,you can just dance.Non alcoholics should also have their fair share of things they can enjoy with instead of being compelled to turn into alcoholics due to lack of any other form of entertainment... and yeah TASMAC's need to close down.Its causing serious law and order problems.

There are many who think drinking is not our culture but I'm sure there are many tamil scholars who would disagree by quoting ancient texts where references to some kind of liqor had been made.We did have some form of night life when we used to have dancing in festive season(thiruvizha) and people used to stay awake to watch it.So night life and drinking have been part of our culture...........But like I said, as long as there is not any kind of overemphasis on these things its fine

Consuming alcoholic drinks is not alien to Indian culture and have a wrong notion that it has come from the west.In good olden days before buddhism influenced hinduism all castes among hindus consumed meat which includes beef and liquor.On annual death cermony rituals beef and alcohol is served to the brahmins which changed to pythamparupu and jaggery subsequently.Even the slokam says madhu madhu gaya shradham.Madhu means liquor in sanskrit

Shonali Muthalaly and Priyadarshini Paitandy join clubbers and party goers to find this city never sleeps

Can Chennai rock all night? Undoubtedly. After all this is the city of beach house parties: midnight swimming pool plunges, drinking games on the terrace and dancing till dawn. This is the city that embraced ECR’s rain dances, between moonlit beach volley ball, splashing in the surf and lip syncing to Bon Jovi’s ‘It’s my life’ on the dance floor.

This is where the party revival is happening: after years of Cinderella deadlines, we’re out to prove we’ve not turned into a city of pumpkins. Which brings us to the big question. Chennai can party all night. But can we?

It’s an admittedly unusual assignment. Follow the clubbers, the dancers, the party girls. For a change we’re not worrying about running out of ink, paper or batteries on our voice recorders. We prepare for the night carefully, bringing out the big guns. Our highest stilettos, our most sparkly dresses and — of course — long staying deep red lipstick. It’s Friday. We’re out to prove that this city can party all night. And we intend to do it in style.

8.30:

The newly opened Ramada

Chennai Egmore

Oh dear. A guest list. And a line of shuffling people. In front a stern woman with a clipboard takes down names and numbers. It feels more like gym class than a glamorous fashion show. Inside, it’s bright and breezy on the terrace. Girls in high heels walk gingerly between the wooden board flooring, holding in their stomachs for the benefit of their little dresses. Between it all fashion designer Karun Raman stands, welcoming guests in a chic skinny white shirt. We air-kiss our way around the room and then finally settle under the massive speakers. Waiters with spiky hair come by with steamy cheese balls, crisp prawn varuval and plump chicken tikka. The music is thumping so loudly we can barely hear ourselves think. We resort to smsing each other to communicate. We’re deconstructing outfits, and it requires concentration. The show finally begins at 10 p.m.: fashionably late. As Rochelle Rao, Femina Miss India International 2012, sashays down the runway, we slither out.

10.30:

Blend,

Taj Club House

We tear in excitedly to find ourselves in a practically empty room. Bouncing up and down on the plush couches, we order beetroot-clove-whiskey cocktails and look around. This is perplexing. Where is everyone? From all accounts, Blend heaves with people on Friday night. However, right now the only customers are a clutch of geeky boys drinking juice and watching Fashion TV. The guest DG looks like he’s having a good time though, on his obligatory Apple computer. Vijay Chawla, popular resident DJ (referred to as ‘Chocolate Chawla’ by his legion of female admirers), comes by to say hello. In a lame attempt to save face, we s****** about how quiet it is, and are told we’re ridiculously early. Apparently, the ‘action’ only starts well past 11.30 p.m. Feeling like total bumpkins we sadly eat a plate of addictively spicy baby corn, while Chawla and Executive Chef Siddique watch us sympathetically. Ah well. We have places to go.

11.00:

Madras Pub -

Illusions

It’s opening night. Shutter bugs and red carpets? Hardly. It’s fairly dodgy outside, and the club is set on a quiet dark lane. This does not look promising. Climbing a steep flight of stairs, we find ourselves nose to nose with a beefy bouncer in a tight black T-shirt. Cue: Smile, flutter eyelashes. Getting into clubs is an art form. He looks us up and down, then pushes open the doors. Neon lights, staggering people and men with mops scurrying around. We navigate through couples entangled together, sad drunken men and teeny boppers head banging on the dance floor. They’ve been slammed by crowds, and its happy chaos. Manager Arasu, formerly with Zara, looks equally delighted with both his new portfolio, and shiny suit. He dances over, carrying caipirinhas, spilling generous amounts along the way. (That explains the men with mops.) We bump into Rina Raymond, Chennai’s ultimate party girl. Listening to our schedule, she shakes her head in disapproval. “No No. First Zara, then come here. Blend is next, and finally Dublin because that’s open till morning.” At least it’s not too late to mend our ways. We make plans to meet in Dublin later.

Midnight:

Mathsya

But first, we need to rest our feet. (High heels are torturous.) Mathsya’s the city’s favourite late night dosa haunt, bringing together an unlikely assortment of people: doctors, DJs, chefs and police officers — all settling down for a relaxed late night snack after their night shifts. Owner Ram Bhat always knows what’s happening in the city, because so many of the parties end with Udupi dosas. “We had a big crowd from the fashion show earlier,” he says, as we settle down with their trademark fluffy cheese toast, ginger-slathered aasai dosais and masala chai. By the time our tea arrives, the bustling restaurant is quiet. The staff pull down the shutters. “We close earlier to keep out the drunk people,” smiles Bhat. “So where next?” We smile triumphantly. We finally know the ‘cool’ answer to this. “Dublin. We’re going dancing.”

1.00:

Dublin

We don’t expect quite so much sweat. Stylishly entering the Park Sheraton lobby, we smile like Miss World contestants. It’s all golden light and perfume, till we clip down the corridor and see The Queue. Central Station at peak hour pales in comparison. The line of impatient clubbers, push, poke and pull in their desperation to get past the bouncers. We try being polite. Till a sweaty man with a scraggly ponytail shoves us against the wall. Fortunately the manager spots us. (There are admittedly some perks to being a journalist!). We’re in. The energy is infectious. A two-level dance floor, pulsating with people. Girls with glow-in-the-dark bangles and boys in grungy T-shirts.

The dance floor is a great leveller. Everyone’s grooving to the music, moving together. The crowd parts to make room for us. As the DJ starts playing ‘Don’t you worry Child’ (Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin), we lift our arms in the air, singing along with everyone. By 3 a.m. we’re knackered. Our mascara’s running, and the long-lasting lipstick’s long gone. As we hobble out of Dublin, a surge of people enter, dressed to the hilt, and ready to party.

Bah. We’ll never win. Well. At least the city keeps going.

What you need to change about Chennai and worry about it is the corruption, nepotism, inferior jobs done by the babus and politicians, Better education for all, rights of the girl child etc. I can go on. This is what you need to bark up to. Whether you like it or not things are changing but not to your preference. BTW I like both the worlds which is what Chennai is going to be. Cheers mate :cheers:

^^ This is the only thread i hate in the entire skyscrapercity . I wish kannan one day bans this thread and removes it out of chennai . This is my Personal Opinion. I want my chennai better known to be a conservative and safe city than filled with bullshit pubs and becoming another rape capital of India.

What night life ? If needed Our TN government has opened thousands of TASMAC's nook and corner of roads get something and go to home and drink may be two buckets full and jump top to bottom who cares !! Guys pls spare Chennai , let it be as it is !!

I certainly dont mind clubs and pubs in any number as long as there is a variety in entertainment.It should not be like there is no other source of entertainment than just heading to the pub...Actually clubs that have entry free are fine, there is no need to get drunk,you can just dance.Non alcoholics should also have their fair share of things they can enjoy with instead of being compelled to turn into alcoholics due to lack of any other form of entertainment... and yeah TASMAC's need to close down.Its causing serious law and order problems.

Relating to TASMAC being closed down, a better solution would be to bring in a private player to create a re-branding structure to make TASMAC the most preferred destination to procure alcohol for people of all classes. They should create signature bars/pubs and set a new model. I hate looking at how filthy TASMACs are. They should formulate standards for TASMACs before allowing bidders to carry their name tags. Obviously, if TASMAC become a preferred destination for liquor, liqueur, TN Govt will be the one to benefit. Maybe they could set-up shops in star hotels promoting select wines and liqueurs (not liquors) to cater to the respective audiences.

In your line "a private player to create a re-branding structure to make TASMAC the most preferred destination to procure alcohol for people of all classes" , I'm not comfortable with this "people of all classes" part of it.Let liquors be something that the rich/effluent people can get.The problem with TASMAC's is that even poorest of the poor is able to afford and access it.Apart from law and order issues,Drinking is a social problem,people of the lower strata waste all their money on buying bottles and harass their wives for money.This can affect their families greatly where what they earn is just enough for their existence. Atleast till they reach a stage where they have a decent living,they should be made to realize that they can't afford liquor.

i am so annoyed at Tasmac not selling a choice of foriegn drinks. Where can i get the tasty tequilas or rough plum brandy Slivovitz or some good spirits? Same old shyte.

Is that a TASMAC shop or only for Club members?

Anybody know of any 24 hours pub/bar in and around Chennai? The midnight curfews are sometimes overboard!

It is not Tasmac and all. It is club - hope you have heard Madras Gymkhana club, Madras boat club etc. It is only for those elite members. I meant if you know any members they can help you...

What is conservative?Before the britishers imposed their victorian moral values on us, our own culture was quite close to wat the west has today. Pls read abt it in Marco-polo's travelogues. FYI i dont drink or visit pubs but i dont have a problem with ppl who know their limits and can drink without causing harm to society...

Well said Kandeeban. If it is culture we are the first to write a sex manual and we all know its name. All our temples have erotica. We have been brewing for thousands of years. People who have made comments earlier are people who dont seem to live in Chennai . They have left the place to better places in search of better job, better living etc but wants the place they left the way they left it. Sad commentary isnt it?

I love Chennai for what it has to offer to the world but why shouldn't it take what has been on offer? Ultimately it is the individual who has to make his choices. We are living in a global world there is no point being cocooned. If so you will be left behind. That is beginning to happen to |Chennai. We must change according to time and circumstances but must not forget our roots. Take the good and leave the bad and then have fun too.

Is this true.....I have heard that even the concept of a women and modesty came from the west ....initially from the Islamic hordes invading our country who perhaps took some pointers from the quran to help them in their rule and later on from the British and their imposition of "modern", "Victorian" values on us ??

^^ All nice points made.This(the belief that anything and evreything Indian is conservative and primitive and whatever the west does is modern and progressive) is what we call as getting brain washed by the west.Most people dont know the past,so they just tend to believe whatever westerners say.Another thing is that History had been written by victors,so you always get their version....Somehow these days it seems like there is an anti-west campaign run by Vijay TV Neeya Naana

rape incident???? wth!! what incident was that.

a chain-smoking, obese, middle aged, chronic alcoholic woman with heavy make-up but labelled "cultured" girl got raped by a bunch of sex-starved teenage wankers bushwhacking her from a typical Tamil film-like Maruthi Omni at an unguarded dark ECR corner. Guess what 500 by-standers were watching fun and the cinema heroes such as Vijay's Ajith's and Rajinikanths do not show up alas unlike in movies.

ah yes the ever so morbid desires of chennai people, standing and watching everything macabre roll out in front of them instead of extending a helping hand. accidents, street fights and now rape?? all the same for chennai's onlookers.

Similar thing happened in my life to my grandmother when she was hit by a vehicle and people were just standing and watching her bleed. people were crowded around her and no one called an ambulance, or gave water. thankfully one of the onlookers happened to know my grandma and called us immediately and we managed to get her to the hospital.

hey i was just satiric. Not the real case - infact i had been away from the city for sometime so haven't heard any news about the rape in Chennai. Can someone elaborate?

Chennai turns party hub! (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/food/bar-reviews/Chennai-turns-party-hub/articleshow/19459915.cms)

The deadlines at nightspots have been extended and the fun factor has increased in the city!

Chennaiites are rejoicing that they can stay out late for a few more hours and dance the night away. And what's more, people are coming in even from places like Bangalore for a slice of fun.

Walk into any nightspot and you are sure to find expats shaking a leg and letting their hair down. Ask Charm from Philippines about the city's nightlife and she says, "Folks here are very friendly. The friends I have in Chennai are the ones whom I first met here in the nightclubs." Kevin, who works for a private organization, is from Singapore and he says, "We all go out in the night to have a fun-filled evening. And I have been really enjoying every moment that I am here with my friends."

Christoffer Groen, an expat who works for a Danish company, feels that the deadline extension has really made a difference to the city's night life. He says, "Earlier, by the time we got into the mood of the party, we had to leave. But now the scene is different. We can hang out with friends longer." Agrees David Perera, an employee in a private firm and a party animal, "Nightlife in Chennai has undergone a revival after the extension of the deadline. You attend a party and if you stay for a longer time, it helps you to sober down to drive back home and the streets turn out to be much safer as well."

Big screens, live music, dance shows and ladies' nights are the other facts that attract more crowds. "I am not a great cricket fan, but I enjoy the time with my friends watching it on a big screen, especially during this season of cricket extravaganza. It's not just cricket, clubs here screen other exiting sports like football or F1 too during weekends," shares Chris, who works in the Belgium embassy.

Ladies' nights are quite popular with youngsters in the city. Charlotte heads straight for a ladies' night after her work at a social organization. So what's special about these evenings? "I get free entry and drinks and the best part is that different pubs in the city have it on different days. So we get to attend almost all of them throughout the week," she quips. Adds Angira Mukherjee, a city partygoer, "Many people come after a hard day's work and it's nice for us to stay out longer, though we come a little late."

And what's the music scene at the nightclubs? Immanuel Leon, a drummer in a city band, says, "Chennai has seen a lot of artists from in and around India come and go. Many well-known bands in the country often perform at the city clubs. The city crowd enjoys the plethora of genres. Having a live band perform is widely accepted by the music-loving nightlife crowd."

And what's more, there are folks coming in from other cities to party in namma Chennai! With Bangalore still having an early deadline, many youngsters are heading to Chennai and Pondy for a weekend of fun. There has been a spurt of nightclubs in the city in the last couple of years in various areas of the city. On condition of anonymity, an owner of a city pub says, "Places like Velachery, where there wasn't too much of nightlife, has now got new nightspots. Now, people can try out different pubs and clubs and frequent the one they are comfortable in." It looks sure that many more smashing party nights awaits city folks!

What makes Chennai a favourite party destination?
-Late deadline
-Big TV screens
-Live music and dance shows
-Ladies' nights

This was not satire.. i read ur first post, got pissed off and did not almost read the follow through.. kindly remove it or atleast have a disclaimer :)

Talking about Liquors, what about country liquors?,

All these pubs/bars/discotheques all sell Indian made Foreign liquors and desi liquors like Toddy(called as khallu) for example, is totally banned.People should have the option of tasting both types of liquors and be allowed to make their choice.There is no fair play in this regard.This also seems to be somewhat in a way,giving in to westerners

Russia Promotes - Vodka
Mexico Promotes - Tequila
United Kingdom Promotes - Whisky
Japan Prmotes - Sake
Italy Promotes - Grappa
Brazil promotes - Caccha
India Promotes - Guilt :lol:

consuming sweet Neera in the morning taken from the palmyra tree before sun rise is good for health.After sunrise due to fermentation it turns to frothing toddy but the smell is very offensive.Adulterated toddy by mixing all sorts of filth to get more kick is called kallu and adding methyl alcohol to kallu to get more kick even death is called gudamba.You like to taste these stuff and go home smelling horrible and vomiting even if consumed moderately?.Keep resticted to Indian made foreign liquor in bars and pubs.Toddy is totally banned in TN,From time immemorial people consuming toddy/kallu are looked down in tamil society.

Muslim hordes invaded India from the west.Britan conquered India stealthily thru east India company this to coming from the west .Anti west can be both.Many indians are not brain washed they stick to the traditions.conservativeness is a relative term.Punjabi indians are more liberal but their muslim counterpart in pakistan are conservative.down south in India kannadigas are less conservative than tamils.West i mean the christian countries not muslim countries never think that they are modern it is our mindset to think that way.its our weakness to west that we yearn to go to those countries and ape their culture artificially.But western culture is not inferior to our culture.After seeing filth in our cities and towns and the poor personal hygeine our so called superior culture should make people to keep themselves and surrounding clean.Unless we show practically and change things these stupid mindless programmes in Vijay TV like Neeya Naana presided by a biased anchor becomes hollow.BTW vijay TV is owned by star TV group owners who are europeans

its our weakness to west that we yearn to go to those countries and ape their culture artificially

So thats what I'm trying to say that we should change.Why should we always think that whatever they say and do are the best?

Talking about Vijay TV,well I dont think Neeya Naana is totally mindless,whether they are running a campaign against West or not, they have helped in spreading some awareness

Now whether time immemorial consuming toddy has been looked down by our society or not,time immemorial,liquor consumption has been part of our society and they havent necessarily been this so called Indian made foreign liquors,they have come very recently.I'm not asking to adulterate it with banned or illegal stuff,just try to make desi liqors without adulteration.If smell was such an issue then I guess many of the restaurants itself should close

We should change but when?Who asked you all to think whatever they say and do are the best.Did anybody force you to do that.Why don't we take the best from every culture.BTW indian culture itself is not homogeneous through out.What awareness that this programme on vijay TV propogating.Its the same old story which we are hearing for decades.Are tamilnaduians so naive to know this rudimentary aspects which has been churned adnauseam

Well,I dont think that way but I do find a lot of people who think that way.
"Why don't we take the best from every culture", well it sounds all good, being open minded is one thing but being brain washed is another...Talking about Neeya Naana,I dont think people do deep research into a lot of things that is often taken for granted,there are a lot of myths/misconconceptions that exists among people.Some of their shows throws some light into it

Now whether time immemorial consuming toddy has been looked down by our society or not,time immemorial,liquor consumption has been part of our society and they havent necessarily been this so called Indian made foreign liquors,they have come very recently.I'm not asking to adulterate it with banned or illegal stuff,just try to make desi liqors without adulteration.If smell was such an issue then I guess many of the restaurants itself should close

youngman toddy is banned in TN why should that be?Yes you are right liquor consumption and prostitution are old habits among the homosapians.Even coffee,tea are foreign brought by the English to India.our desi beverages are neermore,kanji we can switch over to this .IMFL has not come very recently.It is there for more than 250 years in this country.our local drinks like cashew phanny and coconut phanny from Goa.Have you tried this.it is better than toddy,kallu etc.But the SG of Goa does not allow its sales outside the state.Don't recommend toddy,kallu,dubara or gudamba as they are not good for health.Moreover it affects fertility.

toddy in Moonar is real tasty and i wish i could wet my whistle with that right now. lucky keralites. Fanny in Goa is real bitter though

On the point of Neermore and kanji,they are still available,they arent banned.People also drink coconut water.

You spoke about our local drinks like cashew phanny and coconut phanny from Goa,that's what I'm talking about.I'm sure there should be many more.I have heard a lot of people who believe that kallu in its purest form(without any adulteration) is not hazardous,if there is anything that is hazaroudous then okay fine,but i dont think all that we have are all hazardous....

del

There is no need to change but give room for things which you feel are good, useful and functional. I am talking about being a villager in the global village.

So thats what I'm trying to say that we should change.Why should we always think that whatever they say and do are the best?

I did not understand everything but we need to boycott the TV channel.

Ridiculous how these guys are filming people without masking the faces.

Reporting & local TV standards have gone down the drain.

It was more prevalent in Mumbai, and then Karnataka with Mangalore incident, and now Chennai.

If govt make pubs and serving liquor in stand alone pubs as legal, they can earn good revenue.

With complete ban they are only losing revenue ..from those who are ready to spend & enjoy. Rich & Upper middle class have money to spend, what is government botheration.

Tasmac, which concentrates on poor & lower middle class to make liquor easily available to them they are spoiling their familes and dependents...and make the poor more poorer.

In the former case it is not so..govt should get revenue from who are able to spend & not revenue from who cannot/ who should not spend on such things..

What culture they are talking about, if this is justified then Tasmac is also illegal and cannot be justified on any grounds...:bash::bash:

This is called as Nalsar University & not National law university. I know this, as my younger sister graduated from this university and doing her ML in Singapore now...

exactly that was what i meant.

I can only laugh at this. If you notice the video at 2 minutes. It shows a shot between two beer mugs which means the guy who shot it must have bought it for his consumption and pitchers are half empty :lol:.

Half of the media guys working for Chennai based channels are brought up in non urban areas and are not used to city life and hence videos like this... :ohno:
