One for the Road
A new hangout in Seegehalli had us all excited. But though the service and ambiance didn’t give us cause to complain, the food was a mixed bag, and the drinks were uninspiring. Given other options in the area, this one is a skip.

The Old Fashioned Bar
The Old Fashioned Bar, I thought, was just a good name. Turned out, it had a serious focus on Old Fashioned, my favourite drink – more than a dozen options to choose from. Relaxed ambiance, good drinks, decent food and service, and cocktails outside of the standard kind makes this a good place to visit.
Wanderers
If you’re going for only the beer, you won’t be disappointed. You’d also most likely enjoy the rooftop ambiance. However, items on the food menu may be for display purposes only. On the flip side, the curry leaves in dishes aren’t mentioned in the menu. As Keralese people, we like curry leaves, but the dishes here take it to a different orbit, so beware.
Punjab Grill
Punjab Grill is on the ground floor of the Forum Shantiniketan mall. The food is tasty, and the service exemplary. But as one would expect, the pricing is exorbitant. A meal for two with just a starter, bread, mains and lassi cost us a little over Rs.2500. For when you’re on splurge mode!
The Yellow Submarine
I think this microbrewery has an apt name. The beer and the general hygiene both reach depths that we rarely experience. They also have only a limited menu until 6.30 PM. That’s probably a blessing. The only good thing was the wind, there was nothing else to be blown away by!
