This is supposed to be 'the' watering hole in Chennai. The music was supposed to be great and the experience was supposed to be something that could be remembered.
However, this is one of the most over hyped places to which I have been. To start with there is a fee of INR 700 of which INR 500 is cover charges and the balance entry fee.
Music on a Saturday night was primarily, relatively old, hip hop numbers and was quite bland.
The food - nothing much to say about the limited menu. I had to place the order with more than one waiter - as the initial waiter was pretty 'duh'! On the same note, the service was quite pathetic - a waiter spilt some drinks on a lady guest seated at a table beside mine. He was initially apolegetic as he should be, but when a couple of drunk male members at her table started to make fun of her, the waiter too joined the party and started laughing. Phew! I've never seen this before.
Continuing with the food - garlic chicken was nothing but the ready to fry chicken available off the shelf, fried and doused in garlic sauce. Boiled vegetables and boiled peanuts - as the name suggests are just that - so much so that not even salt is added to it.
Vegetarian items are priced (on an average) at around INR 150 and non vegetarian items at around 200.
A large of whiskey comes at INR 190 - and you do not get smalls (you can buy a bottle if you so desire)
If you want to catch a quick bite before you leave, you are left to choose between sandwiches and rolls.
AVOID!!
