Book with PearlWhy go

About The Blue Bar
The Blue Bar in New Delhi is an evening option with a price of $60 per person, daily hours from 5 PM to 1 AM, and a smart casual dress code.
A New Delhi option for evening plans
The confirmed operating window makes The Blue Bar useful for evening and late-night plans: it opens daily at 5 PM and closes at 1 AM. That schedule works for a stop after work, a planned evening out, or a later visit in New Delhi.
At $60 per person, the venue sits in a higher price range. It is best considered when the budget is already aligned with a higher-spend night rather than a casual low-cost outing. The dress code is smart casual, so guests should plan for a polished but not overly formal look.
What is confirmed and what is not
The confirmed facts are direct: The Blue Bar is in New Delhi, the price is $60 per person, the dress code is smart casual, and the hours are 5 PM to 1 AM every day of the week.
Because those details are not established here, the safest way to evaluate The Blue Bar is as a New Delhi evening venue with late hours and a smart casual standard. If your decision depends on a particular menu, beverage list, seating arrangement, or special service format, confirm those details directly before going.

Bar context
How it compares in New Delhi
Library Bar at Leela Palace is the closest comparison for a formal luxury-hotel mood. Choose Library Bar if the brief is more classic and clubby; choose The Blue Bar if Taj Palace is the easier location for a diplomatic-enclave plan or a pre-dinner drink.
For cocktail ambition, PCO, Hoots', and Lair are better cross-shops. They make more sense when the drinks program is the point of the evening. The Blue Bar is easier to justify when the group values hotel polish, predictable pacing, and a calmer room over a more bar-driven night.
Hauz Khas Social sits in a different lane: more casual, more social, and better for groups that want energy over formality. If the occasion is a date, client drink, or celebration with a dressier feel, The Blue Bar is the safer pick; if value and a looser crowd matter more, go to Hauz Khas Social instead.
