A number of the nightspots and deiscotheques in the city are inside 5-star joints.

Someplace Else
Park Hotel
Address: 17, Park Street

Visited mostly by the collegians and the sprouting Yuppie class, this canters between a bar, a disco and a pub. Right now, it is the most 'happening' place in town (though that's really a seasonal issue). It is reasonably spacious, as good or bad as pubs in India get. The Disc Jockey is OK, tends to do a reasonable job at times though more than often he manages to get people to shy off the dance floor. Does not oblige with requests too often.

Anti-clock
Hotel Hindustan International
Address: 235/1 AJC Bose Road

A young discotheque which has a basic clientele of college-goers and the lot which comes by to watch the women. The drinks are surprisingly better than some of the other joints although there isn't too much variety to choose from. Pretty decent place in all though, and has a bit of a dedicated clientele, so most of the people who end up here seem to know each other.

Moulin Rouge
Address: 31, Park Street

A lot many people, and everyone from Calcutta (who hasn't seen Bombay) claim that this is the best nightclub in the country. It does have its charm and dates back a long way to the time that 50 year old people were young (?).
Moulin Rouge is somewhere between a nightclub and a restaurant, has a bit of a 'Rick's Cafe' hangover, but the continental food is excellent.

Olympia
21, Park Street

While Moulin Rouge has always been the numero uno, Olympia has always lurked in the background as the alternative favourite. It used to have live bands playing, and some of the biggest names in Indian contemporary music and the fusion scene have played here at some point of time. It keeps going through its ups and downs, this month it's cool, the next it's seedy, all part of the Calcutta spirit.
