Euphoria – U4IA, New BEL Road
It may not be the first best brewed beer, but it’s a strong contender amongst the many in its category. Tank up, before you tray up and enjoy the big game, as the boys pour in the 6s and 4s. This is a place where you can just chill out, have cricket conversation about the last bowler who had scored a half century and took 5 wickets as well in a match once played, and laugh at Harsha Bhogle’s subtle sarcasm. The feel of the place adds to the fact that cricket is the gentleman’s game, who also know how to have fun.
