Pecos The gold standard by which all other easygoing bars must be measured. Bangalore’s legendary Pecos is the only place you might hear an entire Grateful Dead show—all five hours of it!
Ghetto Ever-rushing Mumbai thankfully has a few things that stoutly resist change, and this is one of them. The UV lighting does wonders for graffiti, to which you can add as you quaff.
Someplace Else The only chilled-out Calcutta bar you can safely attend if you’re a woman. In ten years it’s become an institution; a special treat is live music by some of India’s best bands.
Turquoise Cottage No Punjabi music, no sleazeoids, no Page 3 glitterati. Just normal men and women having a great evening out. Believe it or not, there is such a thing in Delhi.

what is
Vamp
Not a blood-sucking bat or a sultry femme fatale, but the part of your shoe that covers the front of your foot. In many formal shoe and boot designs, it is the largest piece of leather used by the shoemaker, after the sole. The word derives from the Middle English word vampe, which simply means sock.
