A plan to reunite with my closest pal from my growing up years led to us choosing a place that was aptly titled. ‘Reunion Bar & Kitchen’ was our destination on a late Tuesday evening, and while we were bracing ourselves for a nostalgic meeting over alcohol, Reunion had some special plans for us.
The mixed evening was coasting along nicely and just before we concluded that our decision to stay turned out to be a good one, the DJ (if he was a real one) turned up the volume to a level that was painfully loud for the ears. It killed our conversation as well because after a point, you just don’t have the energy to scream any more. His transitions made us believe that an intern could’ve pulled off a better job, and his playlist was as confused as the overall mood and dynamic of the place. He moved from EDM to Trance to English Pop to Bollywood, all within a space of half hour, as the place got progressively shady.
Drunk men took over the dance floor with their embarrassing moves, and within no time, the place began to exude dance bar vibes. Ironically, it was at this point that one of their many wall frames caught my attention. It said - “We Don’t Serve Women, So Please Bring Your Own”. It was the final nail on the coffin as far as our night was concerned, and we looked for a saving grace before we fucked off. I intuitively called for an Old Monk (INR 18 for 30 ml), while my partner in crime called for a Blender’s Pride (INR 50 for 30 ml). Alcohol to the rescue again!
From confused staff, to ridiculous interiors, to cheap alcohol, to good food and an increasingly bizarre ambiance, this was the most outrageous drinking experience I’ve ever gone through. Good fun was had, but I can endure something like this only once in my life.
