‘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!!
