Chandigarh has seen a drastic change in the recent past with the opening of various lounges and bars. The concept has tightened its grip over the market and seems is here to stay, as such places offer a gourmet meal, music and alcohol under the same roof. Lounges have also become quite popular with a new generation of well travelled and informed individuals.
Guardian20 decided to speak with a few of loungers in the city abot their favourite joints and preferences.
Ria Suri, an IT professional says, "I like going to Virgin Courtyard as the place has a unique ambiance with a backyard and nicely done interiors. The place offers a multi cuisine menu and I go there to relax and catch up with my friends. The food is nice and I like the presentation and quick service too. Moreover to quench your thirst, there's a wide range of cocktails and mocktails available."
Rhydham Aggarwal, an ASM with Godrej, says, "The new place for our group is UnderDoggs. The sports bar has a lot to offer in terms of games to go with drinks. What is unique is that one can enjoy drinks together while playing pool, foosball, table tennis etc. And when it comes to watching a big game of cricket, we prefer going there as there are lots of screens."
The lounge and bar concept has basically evolved from regular bars but differs on the kind of experience they provide and an overall inclusive nature. "I love going to lounge bars; especially because most of them are based on one or the other theme and their ambience is accordingly created. I try new places but I am a big fan of Chili's and it remains in the list of my favourite destinations in Chandigarh to hang out with friends," says Surbhi Sharma, an IAS aspirant.
Tushar Bhasin, a businessman and resident of sector-28, says, "Lounge bars are in and there you could avoid cheap crowd, which also includes anti-social elements. These places are totally safe to drink with groovy music and fantastic lighting. I prefer going to Buzz-Chandigarh. It is a nice place with a diverse and affordable menu."
"The concept of lounge-bar has become popular, and is swiftly picking up as it offers an atmosphere that is more comfortable and relaxed; has resident DJs who play new age independent music and also offers different kinds of mixes, and world class cuisines at one place," says Ankit Chopra, a PG student.
