I loved the choice that we could mix 2 of our fav flavours!! One awesome place for a quick drink and snack though I targeted the food more!! Tasty stuff and great ambience
Loved the ambiance also when I went, it wasn’t crazy crowded which I loved the most
This place is good to hangout with friends.. staffs are polite n humble n friendly. Food is great. For insta pics.. you can come here.. only problem was the dj... He was not playing good songs.
Food is above average and in comparison to other places in Chennai drinks are cheap. Customer service is quick and considerate.
If you are student and on a budget ,do visit this place and don't forget to try Kiwi smash.
Mr.Lokesh , Mr. Samrat and the bartender Mr. Vignesh served us well.
Thank you guys :)
The polite service here was too good that it specially required a mention! All the Stewarts here took great care inspite of us visiting em during the off hours!
Situated at 5th floor.
A good well decored bar.
Good for big groups and small groups.
The staff are very courteous. We ordered Crispy Chilli Corn, Goan Mushroom, Paprika Pizza and Stripped Chicken. All these starters were good and they do serve u drinks and prices are reasonably good.
A good experience!
Gotta love this place for it's lively crowd at any day of the week which makes it a must try bar in chennai! Easily one of my favorite places reasons being - good management of crowds. Polite , courteous and well behaved staffs including the bouncers ( special mention to Mr. Jeeva ) and they threw an awesome new year party!! Must try and will visit often :D
We liked the set up and the ambience. The pitcher of beer was a good deal to start with . For starter we ordered spicy smoked nut chicken which was good followed by fish chettinadu which was okay. For mains we ordered the Cheesy lovers pizza which was not bad and chicken saagwala which was really good. Cheers!
Absolutely loved the ambience.... Amazing place to hang out for youngsters...Chilling and relaxing music... 👌👌
The Ambience was pretty good specially if you're sitting near the windows. The food was good too. Garden fresh pizza and cheeseling bhel with death by chocolate cake is for the Vegetarians. Let me know if there is anything I missed Trying!
Watsons have launched their new menu and I got to taste them. The menu is quite innovative with a fusion dishes. Listing here a few favourite dishes from the menu bbq wings, Lankan fish balls, tandoori egg, chicken with upma, keema balls with ghee rice. Lankan dal makhani.
So as we expect the drinks from this place was very good... But what surprised me was that the starters from this place were also too good👍😋 their old menu has less veg options but now they changed their menu and they have many veg options too👍 and every cocktails I tried were good and mocktails were ok.... Coming to mains the mutton kheema ball gravy was the best don't miss their pizzas... They have limited dessert options...
And the ambiance was the best for a place like this.... 👍
I was here for the new menu. Loved every singe dish. It's a very nice place to hangout with friends. The must try dishes are the Paneer Tikka, the momos, mushroom pizza and the chocolate cake. Would definitely suggest this place.

If you are looking for a place which has equal amount of veg and non veg option being a Restro bar then this is the place you need to visit.
Beating the Myth of restro bar not having enough veg options is this place. 💜
Located right next to Jeeva park in Tnagar which is very easily locatable. I went for dinner with couple of other friends. The staffs are very friendly and polite.
Service is on point. No complaints.
Talking about the food.
Since we went as a group , we ordered alot which had both Veg and Non-veg dishes.
Being a vegetarian, I can comment only on the veg dishes.
For the starters , we had
• Achari Paneer tikka which wasn't spicy for my taste bud and the paneer was also soft and moist. Loved it!
• Vegetable momos : I loveed it. Soft and it went so well with the sides.
• Mushroom paprika : This was mushroom with loads on cheese which was good but I felt it a bit salty for my taste. I would have loved if the salt was less.
Mains :
• Watson's style upma with Chutney : This was absolutely my favorite. Being a upma fan, I wanted to taste this but at the same time I was spectical about the taste because I didnt wanted to get disappointed. But to my surprise it was gooooood. The paneer on side complimented it so well. Definitely going back for this!💜
• Classic mushroom pizza : This was good except for the salt part again here. They did have generous amount of cheese where you can get cheese pull also(😋) but less salt would have made it perfect for me.
Talking about the drinks,
We had various kinds of drinks but my personal favourite was by the beach which had Lychee in it. It was soothing and went well with my food!
Overall I loved my experience and would definitely go back again!💜
Happy eating! 💜

Thank you Parsanjith and Lokesh for you amazing service and kindness :)
Thank you Parsanjith (Bar tender) and Lokesh ( waiter) for you kind and amazing service :)
This place in T.Nagar was in my wishlist since a long time. Place was very lit with young crowd. Lot of north Indians come to this place for drinks. We ordered three beer pitchers, LIIT, Jaeger bomb and for food we ordered crispy corn, pizzaa, biryani and humus. Food was fine, ambiance was very nice. Even interiors was so nice. Also for your entry you need to show your ID proof , without ID you won't be allowed to get inside.
I loved the place. Its one of the good places with nice ambience in the market. Prices are so well thought to get customer retention for sure. What also impressed me was that the staff were courteous enough for such a place which usually is not expected. Food is were I had the trouble. The burgers n pizzas could be much better. If this works this place will fly.
Mr deepen was really nice and waited with a smile on his face always.it was a cool place to chill out and have some fun. A special mention to the music.
Jam packed on Saturday nights with the best beats. We ordered fries and nachos and the quantity was filling for 4 of us. Very energetic and enthusiastic bartenders, and extremely comfortable bar stools.
The Restaurant is easily located and it's in the 2nd floor. The ambience is pretty good. Food wasn't upto my expectations. Could've been better. Overall it's a good place to hangout.
Good place, brilliant ambiance . Happy hours and really good food.
The overall package was great and thouroughly enjoyed our evening.
The service was polite and attentive. A good pool table on the other end of the bar.
So today was day 2 of our GM Diet. We just wanted some veg starter and a drink. But the food sounded so good on the menu, so we screwed the diet. Oh and trust me it tasted even more amazing than it sounded !! We ended up eating the fried idly, nethily fry and chicken tikka like someone who has never eaten before!! And the place is Such a warm and cozy place to visit. I must say that our waiter (Mr Lokesh) was remarkable! Halfway through the meal I was telling my friend what a greater waiter Lokesh made for being so polite, timely yet not pushy, and that huge smile on his face!😊😊👍
Excellent place to chill out
The surrounding place is a bit off putting
But once you are in its great
Lokesh the guy who served us was a champion . great service by him and he advised us with the best menu to choose . there was loud practice music going on which was annoying i hope they correct that
on the whole great place great food
will recommend
Great ambience...good food.Nice music too.Had a great experience with Lokesh and bartender parsinjit.The munchies are a delight here.Great hospitality. A must visit.
It is one of the best place to chill with your friends. The food drinks ambience everything was really good. This is one of the best restro bar in the city ❤
Monday morning at early 12am at Watson's pub was good choice for good food n drinks. It's lovely place to be with n set in good place in the heart of city,calm n quiet n very spacious. Got place to play billards,smokezone,read books,play board games,mezallin too for more comfy n relax. This place is HUGE n i have no doubts Saturday n Sunday it would be most happening place.
I loved it,came with my partner she loved it,loved the ambience n food n bar n drinks. Awesome Pub to checkout.
I don't drink, but accompany my friends who do to clubs all the time. This is a nice little British themed pub in T nagar Chennai. The food prices were pretty moderate. I had podi idly and veg Biriyani and no complaints whatsoever. They have the regular set of beers which my friends drank and they liked the cocktails as well. Went on a Friday night, decent crowd. They have an open space as well where they project ongoing sports on a white screen which also serves as the smoking area. It doesn't have a dance floor and the dj was playing regular hits. Not recommended if you want to go to a place to talk to someone as the music is too loud. Overall a decent place. You also have call drivers at the valet parking who will drive you home for a charge if you're drunk.
Great food, courteous staff and lively ambience.
We ordered hummus and pita bread, garlic bread and masala chicken starter. Liked all of them.
Only request is to add few more brands in 1+1 during happy hours.
@lokesh & Parsanjeet Singh It was an. Awesome service and ambience . Great job done dears •••
Keep it up, You deserve good in life keeping ppl happy and fun at WATSON
One of the good services and very polite service.
Ask for Suman and Lokesh for best service.
Cocktail do ask suggestions from - parsinjieeth 🍻
Nice ambience!
Good food, good mood they say! Weekly themes and dance heels is all what you need. Be it a noon catch up for drinks or a squad night out to dance it off, this place is perfect for it.
On the foodie side, try out their crispy chilli corn, pizzas, Biryani and brownies!
Was dying to go here for sometime and I went here last weekend. Opted for beer and Sangria to keep it light. I really enjoyed the food and service. We had Dorritos (nachos), Chorizo with bell pepper and onion flat bread, Chilly honey sesame pork and a pizza (World Cup Special; forgot the name). Great ambience! (Sorry no pictures as I changed my phone)
Great place for night out ...with wide range of drinks and friendly staff and great ambience to spend the night with your loved ones and friends..!
It's an awesome experience with the Watson community they r awesome specially Montu he played very good music
Best DJ ever
Pasta was awesome and also the dishes but service is little slow
- A good place to hangout with friends at weekend. - ambience is Very good. - Food quality is awesome but..... - Quantity is very very less. - It's a humble suggestion to please increase the quantity as per price.
A great place for a Saturday night. However, difficult to get tables without reservation here. Loved the ambience and music. I would recommend this place for a fun hangout with a large group of friends in Chennai. One of the most happening places easily!
Watson’s is a nice Resto Bar, was there on a Friday evening.
The food and drinks were nominally priced.
Our group had a mix of cocktails, mocktails and beers.
The liquor was average priced and the feedback that I received on cocktails were they were hard!
Coming to food.
We had
Crispy fried corn - best dish of the evening that we repeated the order.
Paneer skewers were different with a different marinade and it was hit amongst the group.
We also ordered Egg Podimas and Cheesy Dorittos.
Egg Podimas was very tasty but cheesy Dorito’s was a let down.
Overall a very walllet friendly place and looks like a happening place as well.
I recently visited this pub like a week back. And I’m thrilled to say that this place is actually great and pocket friendly. The food is great , so is the service and the music is soothing. What I loved best about the place was how it was setup. I am likely to visit again and I’d highly recommend it to my friends!
An after office drinks night is a must, and Watson's never fails you. The appetizers are a perfect combination to have with your favorite drink. The three bowl lentils is a unique and my favorite item to snack on while drinking.
It's healthy - made of moong Dal, chana Dal with onions and tomatos and lemon for taste.
This became my favorite snack which makes me enjoy my drinks without the guilt of eating high calorie snacks.
We have been here to celebrate Friend's Birthday.
Place is with some great music and ambience.
We ordered Karivepaku Kodi and Tawa Grilled Chicken for Starters.
Both were amazing on Taste.
We ordered chicken flat bread which was ozzing out with cheese.
We ordered Thai chicken curry for mains which was good too.
Food 5/5
Ambience 5/5
Value for money 5/5

Been to Watson’s a couple of times and I must say that they have a really Good ambience and it’s presence in the heart of the city makes it even more happening!
Fantastic food and amazing drinks. Thanks to the bartender for making the drinks extra strong! This place also had a vibrant crowd. It was really entertaining to watch, never a dull moment.
Perfect lounge ... spacious and lively....food is also really good...beer options are limited in Chennai ...so not the fault of the place...but a must visit place .
I went there last Sunday to Meetup my friends, loved the place. Ambience is amazing. Coming from Delhi my expectations were really low for all places in Chennai but honestly this place holds an experience that you'd like to live if you're in the city.
Food was decent but food menu is very limited so I thought there weren't enough options. But that doesn't mean existing menu is bad.
Food - 4.0
But all it matters for you when you're with friends is the ambience and this place is perfect to hangout.
Ambience - 5.0

One of the best restro bars chennai has opened 🔥👍🏽, bless up 🙏🏽

From the time I have been to this place, it has been my favourite party place in the town, infact it has been my second home and the reason for it is not only the ambience but also the staff over their right the manager to everyone has been really polite and friendly with the guest ...especially the manager Mr.jaffer and their is one more guy who does amazing cocktail and greets people with smile on his face PRASENJIT , the who smiles and greet every one inspire how busy the place is ...
CHEERS GUYS, keep the good work going ..
One of the better pubs in Chennai. Good for a quick drink. Crowd is good and service is precise. Music was fancy for a friday night. Will come again.
amazing place to be irrespective of the day of the week. Food options are limited but tastes too good esp the fries idly and the chicken biriyani
I was here to have a good time and in deed I had
one. Mr. prasenjit is an asset to your company
the best bartender I have met in a long time. The
food is good and the drinking is great,Amazing place & amazing ambience, will definitely suggested to all my friends
It has become our go to place to hangout! Want company and a couple of drinks with decent food? Don't think twice Watson's it is. Love love love the interiors of the place and the fact that the smoking zone is an open terrace view area such that people like me who don't smoke can be with her friends without completely taking the smoke in! I love the fact that if you're in a mood for games you have games stacked up that you can pick up and play away! It reminds me of my childhood and makes me feel at home! Just Ramp up the food menu and you're all set!
It certainly meets the expectations in terms of good food, music, cozy seating and ambiance. I went here with my team - we were satisfied with the variety we had in food. Could add more vegetarian cuisines.
Team lunch experience in Watson’s was WoW😍 good ambience, songs at the background and food in our table, we enjoyed it.
Initially I thought it wouldn’t be great for lunch, but it’s not the true. Non drinkers and foodies can have good food with photos all around 🤪
Samrat & Arul both handled us well from ordering to billing, it was smooth and quick.
Recommended items : Match made in heaven, Beef pizza , Hyderabadi chilli chicken, onion rings, Chicken fried rice. Pasta was not good.
Samrat bhai also confirmed on Halal meat being procured and served inside.
Post lunch we had good time playing snooker ,foosball & clicking pictures 🥳
My go-to place to unwind and have a good time with friends. The food never disappoints! Every dish on the menu is worth the value you spend and is definitely an affordable place to visit in the city comparatively.

Service was quick even though the place was packed. Food was delicious. Seating areas are well planned out and was not congested or crowded. View on the top was great!
Perfect ambience for a get together 🍻
Service is great with decently priced menu. They have a wide variety of options in food and booze. They have seasonal special drinks too enquire once before you order.
Seafood was not available when we where there😑. Apart from that the food was great🔥.
They screen IPL matches and have Live music too.
Might be a bit difficult to spot the location (3 buildings left of Border parotta shop)
Cheers guys.!!
Watson's is one of my favourite places to grab a drink and eat. The ambiance is fantastic and quite spacious. The plus point is that they have a large smoking area separate from the non smoking area. The servers are friendly and quick to react and give good recommendations. The food is also pretty great, love their wings and grilled food. A couple of wings with a pint of cold beer is amazing on a sultry evening in Chennai. The only minus is the loud music, but other than that Watson's is a fantastic place. Hope they continue to maintain a high standard.
Good vibes. Good dance. No stag entry; most days. Good with friends to chill.
Got the chance to visit Watson's for lunch with a bunch of friends on a Saturday. Was easy to locate and with ample car parking. There wasn't much of a crowd here at that time with most tables available.
There was pleasant music playing in the background. Watsons has several seating options including high chairs, regular table seats with some outdoor seating as well. We didn't opt for any alcohol so can't comment on that experience. The menu had a great spread and all at fairly reasonable prices. For the price we paid for the 3 of us (about 600 INR per head on an average) the experience was pleasant, with good tasting food.
Place is very good to chill with friends. Good atmosphere. The food is really good.
Loved to visit again.

It is a great place to be with friends and family. From nice ambience and hospitality to great food with good music, Watson’s got it all. Thank you to the team Watson’s.
One of the best classic theme restrobar❤️
.
Do visit with friends and have a grt dining experience💯
.
There is ample parking space, valet parking is also available😌
.
Enjoy playing snooker and table soccer🔥
.
Price is also pretty decent, not very high when compared to other restrobars🤩
.
Food taste is very good worth every penny😋
The place is a must visit when in T.Nagar, Chennai if you want a place to relax and spend good time. As the restaurant states, it is exactly a neighborhood bar with good food/beverage/liquor and a professional staff. Loved the visit here, the music is good, variety of collection, one can enjoy their time here with friends or even when you have to work. As a Restro-Bar, the place is really well maintained situated at a very accessible and not so busy place geographically. They have separate sections divided into smoking and non-smoking as well. Only point I would say is, for non smokers going through the smoking room for using the lavatory is somewhat claustrophobic(Men&women toilets are in that part of the restaurant). But that is only if there is a group or many number of people present at the smoking side of the Restaurant.
Edit : A Note for the users reading this review, The quantity of items in the non-veg menu is kind of less in comparison to veg and especially when the price of non-veg items are priced on the higher side(obviously). That's all that I had to add.
Good place to hangout on weekends. Customer service is on point. Tried few chicken and prawn starters which were really good. But chicken pizza was a disappointment.
Been here twice on karaoke nights. The atmosphere, vibes- wonderful. Service tends to get a little slow post 9pm when it starts getting full. Food is too good and so is the price. Very filling. Been to a few places hosting karaoke nights in Chennai, but this has been the best till now
FIVE STARS just for the AMAZING Food!
We kept ordering and ordering and ordering.
Must Try:
1. Peri Peri Chicken Bowl
2. Chilly Beef
3. Fish in burnt Garlic and Onion
4. Egg Wrap chicken with Noodles
Locating this place was little difficult for us. Probably, keep a BIG BOARD outside. Otherwise great experience. We went there for lunch around 12 PM and we had the place all for ourselves.
Beautiful open pub. Good songs and tasty food. Beers are well within the budget. Day time is good for people who want to attend office and chill. Chilli paneer and chicken wings are worth trying.
Such a unique ambiance for a resto bar, it's just raw and gives you that junkie feel. Would really love to go back anytime. Food and drinks are just top class. Perfect place to crash at anytime.
