The cliffs at the Vagator beach hold a treasure chest called 9 Bar, the great joint which boasts some of the best crowd in Goa. It opens at 6pm, but the real party starts around 10 pm with EDM beats.

Aqua Bar

The Cavelossim beach in Mobor holds various attractions and is famous for its party scene. The Aqua Bar is extremely popular with the party crowd due to its charming environment, so it is number 2 on the list. Grooving trans music fills the corners of the Dance club.

Tito’s

Club Cubana

Few places have created a legend of their own. Club Cubana is one of them for sure.

Liquid Lounge

The pub is where the liquids flow freely and the Liquid Lounge Pub near Mobor beach in South Goa is no different. The pub is crowded with Indian foreigners enjoying a pint of beer and good music.

Paraiso de Goa

The Anjuna beach is carved out from a small hillock adjoining it; thus, the hillock overlooking the beach gains prominence, and so does the swinging trance bar Paraiso de Goa or Paradiso, located right atop the hill. Sipping cocktails at Paraiso de Goa while watching the waves wash the Anjuna beach.

Nightlife in Goa: where to go if you’re not into parties

• Calangute Road

The Calangute Road is more popular than any party club. The beach has gained prominence over the years due to the wide variety of shopping avenues and showrooms that have sprung around it. 

• La Plage

Few pleasures equal the experience of lying under a starry night, listening to a cool dude strum his guitar and sing your favourite song while the bonfire crackles and barbecue steak smells exquisite. The beach shack of La Plage promises you just that and much more.

• Villa Sol

The Villa Sol offers a blend of Indian as well as Western cuisines. The place has been tastefully decorated and remodelled to create a soothing ambience that suits all types of guests.

• Splashdown Water Park

Located at Anjuna, around 18 km from Panaji, Splashdown Water Park is one of Goa’s most popular water parks. The park is ideal for kids and grown-ups to have lots of fun. Splashdown flaunts having 5 pools, a wide range of slides, flumes and other exciting features.

• Ingo’s Night Market

The Saturday night gathering in 1999 was a low-key affair with a motley group of westerners turning up with their beers and guitars for a night of gossip and musical extravaganza. However, a German citizen named Ingo separated from this group and started his own night market; great for shopping.
