You're in Lucknow. And you are looking to have an evening on town. Well... You could start by seeing any of the popular Hindi movies running at Sahu or Novelty. And end the evening by having a drink or two at the Mehfil bar at the Taj hotel. Beyond this your options are limited.
But every once in a way, UP Tourism organises special tourist nites -- ghazal concerts and the like. Look out in the local papers for notices of such events. The Lucknow Festival, hosted by UP Tourism too, is a music and dance festival held every February. And if you are lucky or if you have the right contacts don't miss a chance to spend an evening in one of Lucknow's Raj-era clubs; you need to know a club member to gain entry to these clubs.
