the beer is from barrel, so it tastes good and it is light(5% alchohol) so guests liek myself can avoid being served the nasty bootles of beer (8%) strong chemical beer sold uncer various foreing lables. Something unqiue Chennia/tamilnaud.
Food is not bad. Prawns and a variety. I visited some month back to wathc a cricke match. I was infatct going to dine/drink at neary The Residency hotel where there is a buffet at lobby, plus a bar -Black &white bar anjd athrid option a chinese chin chin restuarant that also serves tap(barrle) bar.
Since Residency was bit slow to accomodate I decided to cross to the other side and down the narrrow road next apterol bunk you will see lexxus Bar it is part of another hotel group.
I woudl visit again, except that if you visit by cab or pubic transport be prepared for late nite adventures. As chennai roads is very bad and lot of traffic cops ( ro gues.)
Good place, the ambience was good , good ppl ..
Have visited this place about 10 - 12 times. Most of the times with friends and a couple of times for a few drinks alone. The location of the hotel is very convenient and easily accessible. A calm and quiet place even when it's crowded in the evenings. The seating - leather sofa - is really comfortable although getting up and moving around is a bit painful as there is hardly any space between the tables and sofas. Not a big issue though...
The prices of drinks are reasonable and with the happy hours they become really attractive. Draught beer is available which is usually fresh and doesn't give you the bad taste of preservatives. We usually settle for tandoor starters. Chicken Tikka is a good option and we loved every bite of it. Well cooked chicken perfectly marinated with masala...!! One might probably call it pricey but, considering the taste, may not complain much about it.
Service is another plus, Sundar and Hariharan made sure we were comfortable and got our orders quickly.
If you are a smoker, you may not find the smoking room very attractive. The exaust needs to be better and the ash trays need to be emptied more frequently. A few smokes and you would smell like an Ash-tray!!
Overall, a very good place to hang around with friends or for a few drinks in solitude!!!
