Cheap Weekend Fun Anyone?

Dark and smoky are your first impressions. No rush, take your time and once your natural night vision is on, move forward. Groups of young boys and girls smoking hookahs crowd this place and lots of young people are always an indication of cheap alcohol at hand. A hookah, 3 beers and a vegetarian starter are available for Rs 500 and ‘unlimited’ packages including alcohol, appetizers and main course starts at Rs 700. There are also prizes (read alcohol) to be won in their drinking games. The music and décor are inconspicuously harmless and there is a terrace section for the smokers. All in all a good deal, safe, cheap and fun and a good contender for a regular watering hole.

Now who hasn’t been to 4S?! It is ‘the’ watering hole, at least of south Delhi. The food is good, the alcohol cheap, the staff friendly and the doorman (the huge moustached man) so bloody affable! An unassuming little bar in Defence Colony Market, it is easy to miss, but seek and you shall find. It has garnered such popularity in the past few years that any night of the week it is hard to get a table. It is crunched for space but that is part of the positive experience, everyone makes do with it. Hang around the bar or wait at the waiting table. Another great part about it is the unblaring, ear drum bursting music that plays in most bars. These guys got it right with keeping it simple, overall a really positive place with tons of character.
