- Nightclubs in Kolkata are taking all precautions as people start to return to their favorite hangout zones.
- Even though revenue-wise it’s still not a happy picture, nightclubs are relieved to see the crowd surge with each passing week.
- Owners of the clubs are sparing no effort to assure that their customers remain safe.
Nightclubs around the world, which once had crowded dance floors have remained empty for months due to the ongoing pandemic. Some early trials to reopen clubs and live music venues have provided clues to what the future of nightlife might hold. In Kolkata, where nightclubs have reopened, the city is slowly getting back to its swinging ways but the party people are sorely missing the dance floor.
Nightclubs and party zones in Kolkata that opened for business from the first week of September have seen footfall slide up slowly. According to some media reports, most party zones had a higher turnout last weekend than the previous one and the opening of IPL from Saturday led to a greater number than before.
Even though revenue-wise it’s still not a happy picture, the clubs are relieved to see the crowd swell with each passing week, added to the biggest problem of controlling the number of guests. With the festive season already flagged off, people are venturing out. The crowd is going to be smaller but it turns out that this is the new normal for partying amid the pandemic.
Nightclubs are sparing no effort to ensure that their patrons remain safe, sanitization is underway for more than a week in some clubs before they open doors to the public next week.
