Meenakshi Bar & Restaurant

Meenakshi almost always never disappoints. But it never impresses you either. There's just a sweet spot in between where it's weird balance lies. The food isn't impeccable, but it's good enough for a night to be drunk. I've gone to this place quite a number of times, and it's a reasonably rated place to get drunk or even get hammered without burning too much of a hole in your pocket.

I went there on a self-date. I enjoyed my time there getting a smoke and drinking my Old Monk, alone, surrounded by people who I didn't know. Some were sitting alone, some with friends. Mostly a male place to drink. The AC hall on the first floor wasn't open. That could be a good place where you might see a few women every now and then. But testosterone rides high here. Not that anyone is aggressive or violent, it just has that male drinking place vibe with it. Mildly lit. Mild hearted.

The waiter however was stupid enough to say where I can sit alone and where I could not. Thanks to my stubbornness, he eventually gave in. That night he didn't get my tip, but another one who served me just right, went home some bucks richer.

Food is average. Staff is quick. The open area is perfect for smokers. AC section and below seatings are very congested.
