Location: **Situated on the First Floor of The Residency Towers, T Nagar, Chennai
What makes it different from other Bars/Pubs ? : The theme of Bike n Barrel can be recogonised from its name. Yeah, Its all about the Bikers / Garage/ a Chopper kinda 1950’s Bikers world. The pub has a Cowboy colour tone, Brown coloured..... The walls have the posters of ’Bikes + Drinks’(relating both).... Harley Davidson, Choppers, Whisky, Rum, Vintage bikes Beer, Barrel, Cigarette....
A vintage bike is suspended from the Ceiling is the special Highlight there..
In the first Floor near the stairs U can read a Poster saying, "GO SLOW"(A Traffic Signal for the Boozed people)
Getting in : Once you enter the Pub there are 3 to 5 Bouncers. If U are a male(Stag) then he directs you the Upper Floor(Only stags are here and ’no girls’), If you come with your partner you can occupy the lower floor where you can find many babes, the DJ, the Bar Counter where as in the Upper Floor you cant make any request to the DJ, the Bar Counter is small and so on... But if U come along with your friends say 3 or more, you can have a good conversation and enjoy in the First Floor. The Service to the stags are poor at times. But remember if U are a regular visitor say twice a week then you can go to the Lower floor... From the Upper Floor you can watch the Lower Floor, a net is put at the center...
The Pub is a bit congested in space, There is a Small room on the other end of about 100Sq Ft.
Music: Right now(2007, Oct) DJ Bala with his team is doing an excellent Job there.. Playing various kinda Music From Trance to House.... But there is no Dance Floor, yet you can Dance for his Music where ever you are... After 10.30 the DJ plays House, its simply superb and you can go to ’B n B’ jus for that.
Food and Drink: The Cost of the drinks are affordable for a Partying person. If the cost of a Beer is Rs.140/- then you can make out the cost of the Cocktails and Spirts. The Cost of a Chicken Tikka is Rs.190/- coz whenever I go there I have only these... The Menu has got many amazing Cocktails such as Cosmopoliton and so on... So you need not worry about the cost in BnB. The snacks served are Checkers(Salt Biscuits), Potato Chips, Pea Nuts but all are subject to availability.
Service : In the Lower Floor it is Good where as in the Upper Floor for the Stags there are Delays. By the time when you are boozed the server becomes friendly to you and the service speed increases.
Couple Entry : If U come with your partner you can Enjoy the Party in the Lower Floor. If you dont come with your partner, then go U with other Stags...
