Tipsy Stories

Tipsy Stories is a lounge and club venue on the fifth floor of Sri Tirumala Towers in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, in the Indian state of Telangana. It offers lounge seating and dance nights in the city's technology district, and visitors should confirm it is still operating before making a trip. Gachibowli's nightlife is shaped by the surrounding IT and finance offices, so the crowd is mostly young employees, colleagues on team outings and friends in their twenties and thirties, with a more casual tone than the Jubilee Hills clubs. Smart-casual dress is generally accepted, though shorts and sandals may be refused at the door on busy nights. Guests must carry government photo ID, since the legal drinking age in Telangana is 21. The atmosphere combines lounge-style seating with a dancefloor that becomes busier as the night goes on. Music is a mix of Bollywood, commercial and EDM tracks played by DJs, with the loudest period late in the evening. The drinks programme covers cocktails, spirits and beer, with drinks typically INR 300-800 (about $3-8) before taxes. Listed operation is typically Thursday to Sunday evenings, with closing at about 00:30, in line with Hyderabad's licensing hours. Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, and weeknights draw a smaller group. Entry policies vary and a cover may apply on weekends, sometimes redeemable against food and drink. Reservations are advisable for groups, and booking a table is the usual way to avoid a wait at the door. Evening traffic in Gachibowli is heavy, so ride-hailing apps are the practical way to arrive and leave, and the tower's lifts can queue at peak hours.
