Jaipur’s nightlife doesn’t shout: it hums. By 9pm, the rooftop bars along MI Road fill with backpackers nursing Kingfisher pints for ₹150, while the bass from Club Narain Niwas, just off Ajmer Road, carries across the warm night air. The hostel scene here is small but sharp: a handful of places run their own bar crawls, hand out free shots, and throw in free tuk-tuk pickups from the train station. Most party-friendly hostels cluster around the Old City and Hathroi Fort, where you can walk to a bar in five minutes or grab a tuk-tuk back for ₹50 after midnight.

How Jaipur's nightlife zones break down
The walled centre of Jaipur, where pink-hued havelis house rooftop bars and spice markets. Johri Bazaar and Tripolia Bazaar are lined with jewellery shops and street food stalls. Auto-rickshaws can’t enter during the day, so you’ll walk or cycle-rickshaw between bars.
A straight, busy thoroughfare linking the Old City to the railway station. Packed with backpacker cafés, budget restaurants, and the city’s best rooftop bars. The Forrester’s Lodge and Jai’pur Rooftop are both here, along with 24-hour chai stalls for post-club snacks.
A quieter, leafy area 3km west of the Old City. Home to several party hostels, including The Hosteller and Madpackers. The streets around Bani Park Road have a handful of local bars and late-night auto-rickshaw stands. Tuk-tuks to the Old City cost ₹80.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
The city’s most reliable club, tucked inside the Hotel Narain Niwas on Narain Singh Road. Expect Bollywood remixes, EDM, and a crowd of locals and backpackers. Entry is ₹500 with a drink, but hostels like Moustache and Hoztel often get guest-list spots for ₹300. Gets packed after 11pm, so arrive early for a table near the dance floor.
A backpacker institution on MI Road. The rooftop bar serves ₹150 Kingfisher pints and ₹250 cocktails until midnight. Live acoustic sets start at 8pm, and the crowd is mostly travellers swapping stories. No cover charge, but the kitchen stops serving at 10.30pm.
A dimly lit basement bar on Bani Park Road, five minutes from Hathroi. ₹200 for a pint, ₹350 for a cocktail, and a playlist that mixes rock and indie. The crowd is a mix of Jaipur locals and long-term travellers. Happy hour runs from 6–8pm, and it’s the only bar in town that stays open until 1am on weeknights.
Perched above Johri Bazaar, this bar offers views of the Old City’s pink walls at sunset. Cocktails are ₹300, and the menu includes Rajasthani snacks like mirchi bada. Gets busy from 7pm, so grab a cushion on the floor seating early. Last orders at 11.30pm.
A dive bar hidden behind a fabric shop on Ajmer Road. ₹120 for a pint, ₹200 for a shot of local whisky, and a jukebox stocked with 90s rock. The crowd is mostly students and backpackers. No sign outside: look for the blue door next to the sari shop. Closes at midnight.
