Hyderabad is not only a commercial, IT, and business hub of India, but it also boasts of a society that is funloving and fond of partying! No wonder a lot of hot-spots in the twin cities are forever alive with charming socialites, the who’s who of different fields and an equally enthusiastic common crowd. The pubs of Hyderabad seem to be a favourite haunt of the savvy clientele. 10 Downing, Bottles n Chimneys, Poison, are just to name a few.
Both old and new pubs, alike, are sizzling with the best cocktails, mock tails, dance floors, private lounges, and DJ console, tongue-tingling and mouthwatering dishes on the menu card, an elegant environment and the perfect ambience to chill out! Raj Singh, the owner of Poison, Road No. 2, Banjara hills, says, “The city of nawabs can certainly boast of a crowd that is party-loving! We have not only celebrities but also the common man of the city visiting our pub.
Everybody likes to chill-out once in a while. We have catered to all kinds of taste. We have the dance floor with some jazzy music for the dance-lovers.
We also have the Sky Bar with soft music, the more private Mocktail bar, VIP lounges. There is also the cascading water-fall effect for the nature lovers.
We also have a restaurant, Addiction, which specializes in Oriental, Thai and Indian cuisine. The rates here are comparable to the other good eating joints in the city. Couples and families come here to enjoy a fine meal.
So it is not as if pubs are only meant for dancing as was perhaps a pre-conceived notion.” Well, Poison has been frequented by celebs like, Ajay Devgan, Ramya, Nagarjuna, Madhoo, Sania Mirza and Junior NTR, several businessmen and industrialists. It also seems popular amongst the youngsters of the city. Mr.
Sapan Bajpai, a software engineer and his wife Neeraja are very fond of the pubs of Hyderabad. “Pubs provide the best packages to relax. We enjoy a good meal, drinks to replenish along with latest music. The best part is the ambience.
So on week-ends, it is time to visit one of the happening pubs around. Occasionally I do go with my friends to a pub on a Wednesday!”Says Neeraja. That is when drinks are free for the women-folk in most pubs! Says Mr. Sudarshan, the captain at Liquids, “The One Party at Hotel Ista, Gowchibowli stadium is a combined venture for the new year. Three pubs of Hyderabad, Liquids, Fusion 9 and BnC have organized an unforgettable experience for the party-lovers of the twin cities. The response has been excellent.
People are ready for fun n frolic...the perfect way to welcome the New Year.” Recession has made lives for some of us go topsy-turvy, but this time, people have decided to forget about worries and losses...spirits are high, enthusiasm is rolling for more merry-making and celebrations. And that is the way it should be!
