Hidden among the concrete jungle, this bar has an outdoor area to hold live bands. If you are someone who can’t live without music, this is the right place for you to let your hair down and start head banging. Small range of side dishes and mains to satiate you; wide range of alcohol that you will never get sick of. Here, you just need to raise your glass and sway to the music, everything else doesn’t matter.
