Oriental Lounge
Below AB’s restaurant, this chi-chi lounge-bar is a most civilised spot to slow the pace.

Happy hour is from noon to 6pm.

B
Lava Bar
With lava lamps and a retro vibe, this small bar celebrates an ‘amoebic ambiance in a hot modern way.’ Rejoice this fact with expensive bubbles (Dom Perignon; Rs22,000) …or, maybe not…thank heaven there’s plenty of (affordable) pale ale (Corona beer; Rs300). DJ from 7pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Score!!!
An ‘in’ place when we were in town, this sleek sports bar – with dim lighting, soft leather couches and an extensive beverage menu – is good for a wind-down Kingfisher (Rs100 per pint) or pick-me-up tequila (Rs225). Shake your groove thing on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights (DJ from 9pm).

E
English Garden Bar
A basement bar below Mehfil restaurant, it doesn’t exactly bring an English garden to mind, but is OK for a draught beer (Rs55). A tad gloomy it may be, but snooty it is not.

Antidote
The hippest of a cluster of nightclubs, with lasers scanning above the white sofas and barmen proffering lighters as smoothly as they palm Rs 1000 notes.

City Heart 2
This ribald drinking den is an antidote to Chandigarh's glitz, but the food will only seem tasty or like good value if it's serving a soaking-up purpose.
