Bengaluru doesn’t do Christmas quietly. Breweries turn festive by evening, pubs are packed by sundown, and dance floors don’t really cool off until well past midnight. It’s less about dressing up perfectly and more about actually having a good time, which is exactly why the city gets Christmas right.
If you’re heading out on Christmas Eve or Christmas night, these are the parties that genuinely deliver. Let's take a look:
