Vadodara after dark — the rooms worth staying up for
Vadodara after midnight has a different geography than its daytime one. The nightlife list below maps the rooms that still pull a crowd at 1 AM: clubs with the kind of music a DJ would actually play, late-night live venues, after-hours kitchens, and the late-license rooftops worth the climb.
