Hookah it up!

As willworkforfood says:

So you you want to go drink at a better place for a change but dont have too much extra cash? The trick is to leave early and get there while happy hours are still on. Hookah is one of the better options and is located at Vasant Vihar, in the Priya Cinema Complex. It is supposed to be a vaguely mid eastern-meditteranean lounge bar on two floors replete with beds along one wall in the basement. Make sure you get a table in the basement even if the beds are occupied.
It is a pleasant enough place although the music varies from ok to trashy .It is however too loud for a lounge. Happy hours extend till 8:00 pm including weekends . Happy hours are good value as you can get two beers for 150 bucks plus tax. Try to make it there before 8 pm and order all your booze when they ask for your last order. This ensures you dont go overboard with drunken bouts of ordering tequila shots for everyone later. The last time we went there that is exactly what happened and , well the tequila wasnt cheap. The service is slow ( how much time does it take to get a couple of beers? they only had one brand anyway!) Its a nice enough place to hang out, especially if you bag one of the 'beds'. The hookahs are the USP of he place and add a nice , if not so unique touch to the place. Word of caution though, stay away from the desserts!


As Ainz says:

Lemme just re-stress on the reach-during-happy-hours part... REACH DURING HAPPY HOURS or end up paying with everything that might come out of those drunken pockets! Its not a cheap place but the ambiance and crowd more than make up for it. The music is indeed too loud for a place like that and the speakers can be heard blazing away some fusion of Indian classical and Middle-Eastern music... though it does start sounding better as you go from tipsy to sloshed! ;-)

Also, you know how they say that if you stand long at Times Square in New York, you meet everyone in the world.... well I say screw that... If you stand long enough in the middle of the square at Priya Cinema Complex... you'll meet everyone in the universe! :-p
