The
Beach
100
Ft Road, HAL II Stage, Indira Nagar
Don’t
be surprised if you see women donned in dancing shoes and dressed
to kill thronging ‘The Beach’ on a Wednesday night.
For it’s ladies night out and the girls are all out to have
fun. What was a revelation for me was that the Beach attracts
even more number of men on Wednesdays. One needn’t take an
Einsteinish guess to figure out why.
I
was there last Wednesday with my girlfriends and boy we sure did
have a blast – Bitching, girl talk and dancing.
The
ambiance is that of Goa, very chilled out and laid back, and it
helps set the mood for the evening. They often spice up the evening
by having theme parties like retro, or bohemian. The liquor is
on the house for all the ladies till 9.30pm even after which the
crowd doesn’t cease drinking, neither does it stop more people
from flocking to the place.
The
evening kicks off with retro music and later transcends into hip-hop.
Early on, one would find couples fresh out of dance classes doing
their little jig on the floor. But later the rising crescendo
and intoxicating concoctions gets the whole place moving and grooving.
Ladies
ought to be prepared to listen to hilarious pick-up lines and
to take home a couple of phone numbers for most men seem to readily
hand out visiting cards. And if you’re lucky, you’ll
still find young hopeful men ready to buy you drinks, long after
9.30pm.
I
thought the ladies night was a sales kicking idea, besides partying
on a Wednesday gave me the much needed break from the daily mundane
work. Come to think of it Wednesday is such a strategic choice
for throwing a party. It’s the time of the week when everyone
is suffering from the mid-week syndrome. To attend a ladies night
out on Wednesday is a real spirit stirring (pun unintended) experience
for both sexes.
The
Beach became very popular during the World Cup Football when it
was decorated with the season's theme. Customers were injected
with the Football Fever with a large low goalpost complete with
nets and footballs erected at the entrance. Inside, adding to
the charm of the beach scene, were flags of the competing teams.
Their
cuisine is predominantly coastal. They serve a host of konkan
delicacies, sizzelers and succulent steak. They also dish out
popular Chinese and Tandoori for those with more traditional taste
buds, although I wouldn’t personally recommend it. Despite
a huge cover charge people still flock to the place during weekends,
because the music is great and the ambience is absolutely reviving.
On Sundays, The beach has a special brunch with unlimited beer
for Rs.500. Heck! Expensive or not no one is complaining as long
as their beer mugs are getting filled faster than it’s being
emptied.
So
girls let your hair down and shake your booties a little harder
for the tide is high and the music just couldn’t get better.
And oh, don’t mind the boys. They just wanna watch.

I
am an advertising professional right in the thick of all the chaos
the mad Ad industry has to offer. I enjoy my work, do my quota of
cribbing, never turn down a fight and learn new things as I evolve.
I am very passionate about my profession and love the demanding environment.
On the personal front, I get bitten by the travel bug quite often,
love capturing whatever's worth on celluloid, Bollywood's biggest
fan and a complete foodie. I try to pursue all my interests but often
find myself hard pressed for time. No complaints there though. I pen
my likes, dislikes, random thoughts, arguments, political/non-political
views, etc, etc, etc. regularly…you'll find them all on my blog
