Parties, DJ Nights & Late Evenings in Surat

Nightlife in Surat works differently from most Indian cities, because Gujarat is a dry state. There are no bars, pubs or clubs serving alcohol; prohibition has applied since the state was formed in 1960, and visitors can drink only with a state permit, in private. What the city has instead is a late-evening culture built on food. The Dumas Road through Piplod and Magdalla, and VIP Road in Vesu, stay busy until late with restaurants, dessert and coffee places. Ticketed parties are alcohol-free: DJ nights and themed evenings on hotel lawns and at farm venues, live electronic nights at cafés such as Soil Coffee House, and, in season, garba that runs past midnight. Outside Navratri, New Year's Eve and Dhuleti are the main dates for ticketed parties. This page lists parties and night events in Surat.
