Fancy a place with sophisticated setup to cater to your leisure time? Eating and drinking out often, with the latter ofcourse in the limelight creates a big hole in the pocket of any individual. With the high rising pubs and bars charging bomb for our favourite drinks or cocktails, the very idea of a casual meet-up is often restricted to our home or a place outside the purview and sphere of a bar or a pub. But then, one does not get the free hand in indulging wholesome to an unadulterated conversation with your near and dear ones. How about a place serving a wide array of drinks to satiate your tastebuds at an unimaginable pricing?
Captain’s Deck Bar & Grill, located across one of the bylanes of Southern Avenue, right on the top floor of a building which houses a popular Bengali establishment, has long been celebrating deck hours which celebrated happy hours from Monday Sunday which commenced from 12 PM and until 7 PM every day. This very concept of spreading unlimited joy and smile to their patrons is now being extended to a much wider timespan. With the Christmas and festive season banging right on the door, Captain’s Deck invites everyone to be a part of this Pirates’ Invasion starting from the 16th of December to the 22nd of December.
Under this festive offering, the special Deck hours will now be in effect right from the starting hours of the establishment, until it closes its shutters, every single day of the week. The major aim here has been to spread the fun of Christmas, even before Christmas would coincide with our yearly calendars. The very purpose of advancing the special pricing is in lieu of a Christmas gift, where everyone can enjoy a special Christmas pricing and have limitless fun and can party hard with their near and dear ones, all this, without shelling hard from their purse. The Deck Hours has its own special menu, other than the regular menu.
The Deck Hours menu includes a selected range of alcohol, cocktails, mocktails and hookah flavours to pamper your likings. We were lucky enough to get a glimpse and preview of the Deck Hours and diligently enough chose a couple of drinks and Hookah flavours while indulging in a cherished conversation among us. We started off with LIIT, or otherwise known as Long Island Iced Tea. One of the most popular alcoholic mixed drink, is slightly a misnomer. Inspite of having the phrase ‘Tea’ mentioned against its name, this particular drink is devoid of any of the same. The splash of cola within this drink, gives the same hue and look, just like its namesake.
This version of LIIT comprised of Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Rum, Triple sec (a variety of Curacao liqueur, mostly colourless and sweet), Lemon Juice, topped with some Coke. Often known to be boozy, due to the higher quantity of alcohol served in this drink, the LIIT presented here had a perfect mix of all the major liquors creating a mesmerizing effect within the tastebuds. The next drink to come was a variation of LIIT, with Red Wine gracing the top layer of the drink. A classic cocktail and an ardent wine lover’s version of Long Island Iced Tea, the aesthetic Cola here gets replaced by a splash of the intoxicating red wine.
The triple sec made from the dried orange peels and the lemon juice imparted the sweet, sour and tang flavour, while the red wine added the fruitiness to the drink. A delightful and welcome shift from the regular flavours of a traditional Long Island Iced Tea. Next to come was Mariner’s Margarita, with a wonderful concoction of Tequila, Lemon Juice, Triple Sec. with a layer of salt rim on the edge of the margarita glass. The salt helped to balance the concentration of the tequila with the triple sec and the lemon juice once again infusing the citrus touch to the drink. Sex with the Captain, was a sheer delight to the tastebuds, with various ingredients coming together to create wonders.
The sweetness and fresh aroma of the peach syrup complementing the hard taste of the vodka. The orange Juice as well as the cranberry juice, added on to the flavours, with the lemon juice giving the final touch to this sweet and tangy cocktail. The last drink of the day, Passion Fruit Lemonade, comprised of Passion Fruit Juice, and a diligent mix of lemon juice and sugar syrup and finally topped with Lemon Lime Soda. With a fizzy and sweet texture, this was a welcome change, when it came to savouring refreshing and relaxing mocktails, after an array of sipping some fine cocktails, made with Vodka, Tequila and other spirits.
Pairing these lovely drinks required a sumptuous intake of food. We chose to treat ourselves with a couple of starters and main course dishes from their regular menu, all of which tasted delicious and divine. The classic Chicken Ala Kiev, had that lovely stuffing of soft and succulent chicken with a mess of butter and garlic decorating the inside of the meat. The bread crumbs, wrapping the outer shell of the chicken was crisp and fried to perfection. The Ala Kiev had that subtle hint of garlic, and had that quintessential aroma of fresh butter intoxicating the senses. The Ala Kiev was shaped like a duck, with the creamy mashed potato designed as the head to create an artistic touch.
The Deck’s Special Chicken clearly stood out as the winner, with the lovely soy and honey glaze creating that decadent, silky and smooth texture and penetrating the chicken and the batter to give that fine glaze and taste to the meat. The chicken portions were decked with some sesame seeds on the top, and was put up on a small stick with a cucumber along with it. The citric tinge from the cucumber balanced the acidity of the soy, and the honey giving the sweet and a slight orangish glaze to this dish. The other starter, we had for the day, had lovely strips of Mutton, batter wrapped and tossed lightly to retain a relatively dry texture, without any excessive sauce over the same.
The Mutton was soft and succulent, and seemed to be cooked with pepper, red chillies and bell peppers, and was garnished with sliced spring onions to bring in some fresh aroma to this dish. Both of these starters were a perfect accompaniment to the drinks we consumed, almost acting like amuse-bouche to these drinks, bringing in ripples of flavour and a welcome change, mostly balancing out the concentration of the cocktails. The last dish of the day, Chicken Steak with Stroganoff Rice, had a lovely and juice portion of a combined chicken breast and leg, coated lightly in a batter, and cooked with brown pepper and soya sauce.
The steak was cooked to perfection, with no unnecessary spices to spoil the flavour of the chicken. Served with herbed stroganoff rice, the sautéed zucchini and corn complemented the sides to balance the sauce. With the festival commencing soon, get your plans sorted out, and head straightaway to Captain’s Deck Bar & Grill to join the Pirates’ Invasion, any time of the day, be it in the noon after lunch, evening or even during dinner time, to sip some of the lovely cocktails and mocktails from their special Deck Menu. Don’t forget to try their Hookah, with Kiwi Spring Water, Gum Supari, Teen Pan, Orange Mint and Blueberry Mint awaiting your arrival.
