BIG BITE

Something big happened in a n-descript building on the CV 11dman road that is sure to make news as a destination for a spirited outing!! The English Tavern, much to its name, echoes the old world charm of the British pubs with red, brown and wooden elements vying with each otherfor space, radiating a sense ofa history longforgotten.

The grand launch was boisterous as a bachelorette party. The setup embellished with rock stars, fashionistas, models, dancers and the crowd, who were no less flamboyant,lent sheen and glamour to this intoxicating endeavour. The savvy fashion choreographer Karun Raman added glitz with his fashion models setting the ramp on fire.

The night even witnessed a couple of exotic dance performances gyrating to the beats and rhythm of DJ Rudy behind the console. This set the mood for a collective sway of the already pumped & cheering crowd!!

And of course, the bar was in SPATE!! The liqueur flowed long and free and played it's part in raising the elevated mood a few notches higher. Their cold, refreshing Watermelon and Grape Mojitos were a super hit with distinct flavours of each component hitting the palette separately yet collaborated in aftertaste!! Their extensive list also extends to their classic collection where one can

find odd mixes of varied spirits, citrus, scents of herbs and spices.

The testimony to a pub's skill and quality lies in their ability to get the impeccably RIGHT MIX of elements in Whisky Sour - the much sophisticated gentleman's drink!!

The creamy foam texture on the rim delays the sting of the sour tanginess for a second before it's full strength takes effect. The Flavoured Daiquiri, a slight variation of the whisky sour, is another must try!!

The Vodka based Cosmopolitan is more subtle with the Cointreau lending a smack of orange hint that pairs well with a variety of finger foods, fiery chicken tikkas and crispy cheese balls.

In all, the tavern is authentic and the charged atmosphere coupled with good booze and eats is alone a reason to visit...back & forth!!
