The ultimate throwback to days with emptier pockets, this place evokes memories of its legendary garlic chicken and masala papad every time you hear its name. With it’s new renovation and contemporary look though, it makes for a perfect venue to cheer for your favourite team as they score those chaukas and chakkas!

Moulin Rogue, Park Street Area,
Kolkata
With its iconic windmill façade, reminiscent of quaint Amsterdam lanes, Moulin Rouge is iconic in every right. One of the oldest bars in the city, it has dim lights, a low-key classy ambience, and regular live music sessions.
