IS SOCIAL AT CYBERHUB, BECOMING GURGAON'S LATEST ADDICTION?

‘Hang out Places’ have conventionally been the sanctuary of the really young lot, though today you need a lot more to it than it being just another drinking hole for it to become the ‘hang out zone’ for not just the youngsters but slick investment bankers and senior office goers alike. Clearly drinking is part of the culture of every city and it can bring people together. An entire cosmos of associations be it business, creative or starry-eyed can be made over a drink or two and more so if the food, ambience, drinks and service are one of a kind amazing.

At Social Cyber hub you can ferry right into the heart of the ‘cool Mumbai chawl themed hang out zone’ to the bartender, who’s quite like how Tom Cruise was as Brian Flanagan doing naff and brash in a way that only he could in the film, ‘Cocktail’, it stimulated many to prize a Boston Shaker (nevertheless traditionalists point out that Flanagan is possibly the world’s worst bartender…but at Social, the guy’s pretty good!); And just hop off and order an Old Smoke, famed for its mellow, pleasant notes of orange zest oil and the smoke. It bounces a complete fresh turn to existing in a fun way!!

To be honest, I did make a serious effort to shun this place for a while, thinking it would be just another brick in the wall amid the over hyped so called cool hang out places as discovering places that are this aggressively distinct is getting gradually tough in the capital. Particularly now, with ‘Gurgaon’ getting resolutely global and hip, as fast as it probably can. Which means it’s not so easy to find a ‘hang out place’ where you can have a conversation, have good food and drinks replete with efficient service, without being endangered to the fashion police in the formula of scrawny girls who are dressed to kill and a menu that spikes with all smoke no fire ( pun intended). Luckily, the few ‘hang out places’ around in cyber hub such as ‘Farzi Café’ and ‘the wine company’ are hugely popular that they are rousing other restaurateurs. Also Imperfecto, It’s inflexibly funky, designed to be a space for ‘hanging out’ with friends over good food and drinks.

And now the recently opened Social sitting under a roof of quirky chawl like features, cute stone tunnel passages that connect the restaurant to another seating area, which feels a bit like a secret garden is becoming Gurgaon’s latest addiction, perhaps it’s the beginning of a new trend!

All in all a destination like Social is worth walking to, so Here’s raising a toast to the coolest hang out place where you can even have a drink cross-legged on a sofa in agreeably drab jeans and have the most scrumptious Kebab platter, Parsi Dhansak, Bhai Benedict etc or even basic comfort food like Keema Spaghetti, Ghee roast mutton or aanda Bhurjee and pav!!
