Yes we know that you’ll be home and tucked in bed by 1.30am thanks to the deadline, but we’re saying start the party early and let the fun, feasting, and erm, debauchery last as long as it can! As eclectic as the people of our fine city are, the parties follow suit. So from The Vegas Strip and the roaring 20s to craft beers and EDM, here are the top ten places to be in Bangalore when you say goodbye to 2015 and hello to 2016.
1. High Ultra Lounge
At this Great Gatsby themed party, party like it’s 1920. That means flapper dresses, men in suits, and a glass of champagne in hand all night long.

2. Taj West End
Countdown to 2016 with Nikhil Chinapa and DJ Rohit Barker (if that isn’t a draw, then I don’t know what is!) after you’ve indulged in loads of alcohol and yummy food!
Party damages: INR 14,000 for VIP couple passes and INR 6,000 for regular passes. For more details, click here.
3. Vivanta by Taj, Yeshwantpur
The theme is Las Vegas. Debauchery should reign supreme here with show dancers, a fashion show, casino set-ups and unlimited alcohol all part of the deal.
Party damages: INR 7,000 per couple and if you stay the night it’s INR 12,000. For more details, click here.
4. UB City
The VIP Affair has unlimited F&B as part of the ticket so if you want to really get wild, this is where you should be. EDM will rule the sound waves, with Ma Faiza taking centre stage.
Party damages: INR 6,000 {Gold} and INR 15,499 {Platinum} for couples. For more details, click here.
5. Bangalore Club
You’ll need to know the who’s who to get into this party where only 500 non-member guests are allowed. Bon homie, a live band, and a paid dinner are all on the agenda.
Party damages: INR 3,000 just for entry. For more details, click here.
6. Arbor Brewing Company
They’re all about Brew Year’s Eve! And in this fine city, that means more than all the Glenn’s, Jacks, and Romanovs. So down as much craft beer and premium liquor as you like, because unlimited food is at hand too. DJ Ody takes over the console with some old school grooves.
Party damages: INR 4,500 per couple, INR 2,500 for ladies, and INR 3,000 for stags. For more details, click here.
7. The Ritz-Carlton
Celebrity percussionist Rohin Puri will be in attendance, while a lavish buffet, thumping music and wild cocktails are all part of the agenda. In true Ritz style, a Champagne toast at midnight will ring in 2016.
Party damages: INR 15,000. For more details, click here.
8. Sheraton Brigade Gateway
Spread across three venues, The Grand Fiesta 2016 will see DJs Jasmeet, Ryan Beck, Sam and Tonal Depth weaving in Bollywood, Commercial and House music.

9. Sunburn Reload New Year Party
We’ve got one word for you, Sunburn. For the first time ever, this stomping party has a NYE do and it’s expected to be ace. Headlining the night is KSHMR {Indo-America DJ} playing for the first time in Asia with (S)haan, Local Heroes and DJ Rohit throwing in support.
Party damages: INR 5595 for couples and INR 59,400 for VVIP tables. For more details, click here.
10. JW Marriott
Where DJ Ivan goes many people follow! Expect real panache (after all that is the name of this party) with free-flowing alcohol, red carpets, audio-visuals to knock the socks off you, and a separate area for kids too.
Party damages: INR 7,000 (regular) and INR 11,000 (VIP) passes per couple. For more details, click here.
With so many options the hardest decision is simply what to wear?! #Happy2016
