Pubs and nightclubs are unheard of here. If you want an evening drink, stick to the bigger hotels as entering stand-alone bars is inviting trouble.

Allahabad does not have much to offer in terms of entertainment avenues for kids. There are a couple of multiplexes and shopping malls which offer the usual play grounds and movies. Being a city steeped in history, you could take your kids on a tour of the Ananda Bhavan, the Nehru family estate which is now a museum. It was at this house that Indira Gandhi was born, and it was here that many discussions about the freedom struggle took place.
