What you see: This Hyderabad pub in the uber-luxurious Taj Krishna has pretty well replaced the popular T2 nightclub and disco (which, ironically, was The Tunnel Version 2, hence the name). Now when a five star hotel decides to do a lounge, you know they are going to go all out. So you will see gondola tables and potpourri of rose petals setting the mood here to ensure a relaxing evening.
The bridge-shaped entrance into this spacious room gives you a panoramic view of the entire place. There are three bars, a fairly large dance floor, and even separate seating areas on the sides of the room, if you’re hosting a private party. The European-style interiors are tastefully decorated, with the predominant colors being maroon, red and cream.
What You Get: When it comes to music, the DJs here play different things every night. So one can dance to house music one day or dance to hip-hop the other. Some great Bollywood remixes are also played on Saturday nights. This lounge has great food and drink options. Aside from all the usual suspects, the cocktails here are pretty authentic. From Tom Collins to Bloody Mary’s, the drinks here are great. As for food, the cuisine is mainly European with some delicious treats from Pan-Asian food. European starters are the popular choice, so definitely give them a try. As for prices, there is an entry charge of Rs 1,000 per couple, which can be redeemed inside for drinks and food. Drinks and snacks for two are Rs 2,000. Domestic wines are priced at around 500 rupees.
Our verdict – This is the place to let your hair down. The décor gets our thumbs up and the music, we can assure you, will have you dancing the night away. This place is the best on Saturday nights. The lounge gives you a feeling of elite exclusivity. The valet takes care of the parking, so there are no problems. The only thing you may have to worry about may be the prices. But then it is other than a five star hotel. So it means that your drinks and food here will be much more expensive.
