The nightlife in Hyderabad has gotten a fresh lease of life with improved hospitality, extended happy hours and even women bartenders. This emerging IT city will soon be revving up in the bars and pubs with the blessings of the state government and the man behind this 'extra kick' for city youths is no one else but the Telangana CM KCR.

With the newly introduced liquor policy by the Telangana government which will come into effect from 1st July, the curtains have raised on the piping hot proposal of introducing all-women's bars in Hyderabad. With a sole aim of making Hyderabad a global destination and to attract more number of foreigners with world class hospitality, KCR has green lit the new liquor policy that will ensure the fairer sex have their share of nightlong fun and revelry, much to the thrill of city youths and women in particular.

With the determination to beat the metro cities like Mumbai and Bangalore in terms of vibrancy, KCR plans to make Hyderabad adapt itself to its changing image. So far, only 50 world class pubs are serving the wine lovers in the city. With the new policy, the number of pubs will rise and the government has even given its nod to install microbreweries, where beer and wine can be brewed onsite and served to the customers, just like in the pubs in Mumbai and Bangalore.

The pubs, bars and restaurants will be given permits to open until 3 am in the morning, which is expected to see a steep rise in the inflow of excise revenues. On the retail front, the number of outlets will be increased from 194 to 300 and the opening hours will be extended by an hour until 11 pm. With all these policies, looks like Hyderabad will soon be turned into a sleepless city.
