Can anyone reccomend any places to visit in the North East India area that has a lot of night life? Specifically, which are the best places to visit for music and dancing?
I am not sure whether it has the best in the whole North East but having visited Guwahati I can say the nightlife is pretty decent there. The North Eastern states have been pretty conservative but in recent times Guwahati has seen a lot of modernisation. Kamikaze and Blues are two night clubs I visited when I was there and they were certainly very enjoyable places to hangout with your friends.
That's good to know, deatheater. Thanks! Would you say that these clubs are super loud or are they the type of places where you can have a conversation?
Would they not have night clubs in Delhi? I would think with all the tourism and young people there they would have plenty of nightclubs that you could visit.
Hello there, welcome to the forum! For night life in North East India, I'd have to agree that Guwahati in Assam is your best option. The night clubs and bars here don't really operate all night long but they are open until 11:00 pm at least. Many of them have live music and of course, dancing. Here are some of the best night bars and clubs in Guwahati: Cafe Hendrix - This is open from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, Mondays to Fridays. It's open from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm during the weekends. They have a variety of music, from indie singers and original music to more upstream music or even cover songs. The bar is well-stocked and they offer quite affordable snacks to customers. Their address is: GS Road, Guwahati, Assam 781007. The Lounge - This is open from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm daily. The bar is located inside the posh Hotel Dynasty.

Road, Opposite High Court, Latasil, Uzan Bazaar, Guwahati. Topaz - This is open from 12:00 pm to 12:00 am daily. The overall ambience of the bar is elegant, with plush interior designs and furnitures. The music played here is also quite good. The address is: 3rd Floor, Adityam Plaza, G.S. Road, Lachit Nagar, Guwahati, Assam 781007. Urban Mantra - This is open from 11:30 am to 11:00 pm daily. They have live band performances and live jamming sessions.

Then, here are the most popular night clubs in Arunachal Pradesh: Orange Bar and Restaurant - They are open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. This bar comes alive at night, with the never-ending drinks, music and food. Their address is: Behind ICICI ATM, Old Market Road, Old Market Monastery, Tawang.

Their address is: Ram Nagar, Agartala, Tripura 799002. There you go. I hope this helps! There's not too many night clubs in North East India unlike other regions of the country. And even these night clubs don't operate all-night long. Have fun!
Only Guwahati seems to have a decent enough night life among the north eastern cities. Most other cities are either culturally very conservative or not safe enough for tourists to have a decent night life. Guwahati has plenty of good pubs and night clubs and it is considerably safer compared to most other NE cities. The next north eastern city with good nightlife in my opinion is Shillong and they also have an awesome music scene. Most of these would be open maximum till midnight. I don’t think there is any pub or clubs in NE that are open till late night/ all night.
