Regular visitors to pubs and bars in Telangana know that the show ends at 12 p.m. It extends to 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. But if people are willing to shell out heavy loads of money, time is not a constraint to grab a peg at a few places in Hyderabad.
Around nine hotels, which are four stars or above, located in and around the city, hold the permission to serve liquor throughout day and night. Sources said that this boosts tourism.
A price has to be paid to drink at such places. “The price of a peg at such hotels is equal to price of half a bottle. But money is not a factor for people who can afford to drink liquor there,” said a person acquainted with the prices.
