Athena Discotheque - Bangalore

I am in a general information disbursement mood today :-). So just throwing some information about the "Athena" club / discotheque@Bangalore, in the way of those who are not in the know.

This is a cool nightspot in Bangalore. This is in the Hotel Leela Palace, on Airport Road. The place is not really that heavy on the pocket / purse (Relatively speaking). Cover charge is Rs 1000.

The crowd is pretty decent and cool looking too. The DJs and the music they play, is pretty cool. You would run into celebrities frequently. I once saw Yuvraj Singh (the famous cricketer - for the rare few Indians who are not fans of the game). The place also curries favour with the Western tourists who stay at the Hotel Leela Palace (I am sure it works out well for them, as it saves them the pain of finding their way back home after a night out on the town).

The dance floor gets pretty crowded despite it being spacious - A sign that the discotheque is good :-). Despite the huge crowd, I found the place to be pretty safe. There is also a pretty decent number of seating places beside the dance floor.

The bartenders are swift, efficient, and friendly. They even throw in a few of the "fire on the bar" tricks :-). I have not tasted the food there, but the fare dished out to those who go for it sure looks very pleasing to the eye :-).

The place provides you the benefit of valet parking (However, be ready to wait your turn in a long queue of cars while finding you way out of the place).

All in all, a really cool place to hangout(As is obvious - Especially on Friday and Saturday nights. The place has promo nights on weekdays, if you are interested). They have a smart way of keeping their guests appraised of all the happenings, by SMSing them about all the events.

Some details of the place (Of course copy/pasted from the Internet):-
