The Beer Cafe is actually quite the surprise package if you give it a chance, but how many times have we made the same mistake of taking things a little too far? As far as the Beer Cafe is concerned, it’s the music and the bright colours.
A huge ass taxi which has just about enough space to house a bar
Okay let’s just set the record straight. The Beer Cafe is like Randeep Hooda trying to induce cheers and claps from tards in a film like Sultan. Deep down, you know that Salman will hog all the limelight, but Randeep quietly ends up leaving an impression in your mind post the film, if you give him the chance that is.
Sultan is the fucked up, ill-conceived Andheri west road (much like the film itself) which hosts the two entities. Salman is the crowd pulling Bora Bora (wait till we rip these guys apart), while our man Randeep, is the focus of this piece of course. You just have to stand in the middle of these two to figure out who’s Bhai and who’s Hooda.
Enter The Beer Café, and you instantly feel bad for these guys. Extremely loud, bright and welcoming, but equally deserted. *You’ll get there guys, you’ll get there. We’re always gunning for the underdog!*
So here’s the thing… The Beer Café is actually quite the surprise package if you give it a chance, but how many times have we made the same mistake of taking things a little too far? As far as the Beer Café is concerned, it’s the music and the bright colors. The music is so loud that you wish you were deaf, and the bright yellow only makes you feel that you’re sitting in a huge ass taxi which has just about enough space to house a bar.
We must say that these guys are a creative lot nonetheless, and some of the frames that sit on their wall will tap your humorous nerve, if you have a sense of humor that is. There’s some smart work on display wherever you look, even on the menu card. *We’d love to go drinking with your copyrighter.*
They call themselves the Beer Café, but don’t be misled by the name. We’re pretty sure that these guys serve whiskey and wine as well, and we’re doubly sure that we weren’t high when we entered the place, so you can trust us for once at least.
After a point, we just couldn’t handle more of the loud and yellow magnanimity. The next thing we know, we found ourselves perched at their veranda which grows a lot of plants (sadly not weed), and we were more than happy to drink in a non air conditioned space, which also felt wet every now and then because of the rain.
What a pity! You have so much potential, but you’re still driving your holics away to a less appealing space that you call your own. You can’t help but leave feeling looted when you’re settling the bill. At least they should start growing some weed out there, if nothing else. I mean, ‘value for money’ is an actual thing you know, and we’re not going to find that thing sitting in a god damn balcony with a boring view.
And hey, why do your waiters look so disillusioned, and also wear a look suggesting that they wish they were employed at the bar right across the road? Do something to make them happy, no?
