Nightlife in Goa

Nightlife in Goa
Unlike in many parts of India, Nightlife in Goa is an acceptable reality for the people and the families. The Goans are fun loving and friendly people, and in the evenings tourists, visitors, and the local population throng the pubs and discos which are many in Goa and spread almost all parts of the state, both in the bigger cities like Panjim as well as in smaller places. Sometimes, you will find a pure Goan atmosphere if you are able to spot a joint which is just a part of a house, a room or a hall, serving a variety of drinks and foods. It is not only cheaper but authentic too. In case, you do not feel like doing a lot of searches and researches, you may select the one of your choice from several ones:

Discos & Night Clubs
The Alcove, overlooking Ozran Vagator Beach, open till midnight
Temptations of the Red Cab Inn, located below Starco's Crossroads, Vagator Beach - open till midnight
Tito's, near Baga Beach, sadly (!) open only until 10.00 pm
Ziggy's, near Colva Beach, open till 10.00 pm
Johnny Cool's, near Colva Beach open till 10.00 pm
Men Mar on the Vasco Road, open till 10.30 pm
Lido's at Dona Paula Beach, open till 10.30 pm
There are many more, and you should not get daunted at the relatively early closing times as compared to some other places in the world where nightlife runs until the dawn. Please remember: Small Is Beautiful, and Short is Serene! Goa is Goa!
