Gay New Delhi Bars & Clubs

Depot48 is one of New Delhi’s most established queer-friendly nightlife spaces, known for its blend of independent music and a consistently inclusive, come-as-you-are atmosphere.

Founded in 2014, it has become a key part of the city’s LGBTQ+ social life - not as a designated gay bar, but as a space where queer presence is natural, visible, and fully integrated. In a city with limited dedicated queer venues, Depot48 stands out as a reliable, community-led space where artists, regulars, and travellers mix easily.

It's long-running Pink Thursday nights, launched before the decriminalisation of homosexuality in India, remain a staple of Delhi’s queer calendar, featuring drag, DJs, karaoke, and an open, mixed dancefloor.

The venue has also introduced Night Shift, a Saturday night rooftop event centred around queer energy, DJ-led sets, and a more dancefloor-driven vibe, drawing a more grown-up crowd that knows exactly why it’s there.

Split between an intimate indoor performance space and an open-air terrace, Depot48 moves from live music to club-style nights with ease. There’s no strict door policy or scene to fit into - just a space where people show up as they are.

For travellers looking to experience Delhi’s queer nightlife beyond labels, Depot48 remains one of the city’s most consistent and lived-in spaces.

Kitty Su is een chique gaybar en club in het prachtige Lalit Hotel in New Delhi. Het is zeven dagen per week open en is de thuisbasis van veel dragartiesten uit de bloeiende dragcultuur van New Delhi. Het organiseert populaire gay-avonden, zoals Inclusive Tuesdays, en enkele ladies' nights, zoals Cotton Candy.
Het is een chique setting - dit is Lalit, tenslotte. Hier kunt u de opkomende homoscene van India genieten in een van de beste hotels van eigen bodem. Homoseksualiteit werd in 2018 gedecriminaliseerd. In het proces kwamen de homoseksuele burgers van de grootste democratie ter wereld uit de kou. Verwacht tench-muziek, pophits van zowel Indiase als westerse artiesten.
