I've only passed through Chennai, so treat this as secondhand. Weekday nights there are quiet enough for a solo drink, weekends less so. If you want company, the crowd near the bar counter is usually friendlier than the tables.

only passed through chennai briefly so take this loosely, but thouseef area bars tend to be small & group-oriented, solo is fine early evening before it fills. weekends they run late, past midnight usually, but check the day of since it varies

yeah the early evening call is right, but weekends there can stretch to 1 or 2am depending on the crowd, so don't bank on midnight

Agree on early evening, but the crowd shifts later around 11pm when groups arrive, so a solo drink after that feels awkward.

That crowd shift is real, maybe closer to 10.

weekend closing time is the real variable, ask the doorman

Depends on the day, Fridays go later than Saturdays.

Thouseef's is a solid early solo stop, but I'd pick a seat near the entrance and plan to leave before it gets crowded.

Corner tables by the door go first, grab one before 8

entrance seat makes sense, but the back section past the bar is quieter if the front fills. staff there dont rush u out either, so a slow solo drink is fine
