  • 4/5 Ajay J. 4 years ago on Google • 101 reviews
    An old school watering hole in Adyar, offering reasonably priced drinks and great tasting food. Ambiance is about okay, dimly lit, and can be considered dingy :) There is a bar room, and an adjoining room with a billiards table. There are bar table areas in both rooms. A smoking areas is also present outside the closed air conditioned space. As with budget friendly drinking places in Chennai, keep your expectations realistic. There are usually no women here. There is a rest room on site that is about okay. Cleanliness is decent. Staff are efficient and there are a lot of free snacks. Of the dishes on the menu, the Chill Beef was excellent, 1 plate wasn't enough. Membership is required, with both short term and annual membership being sold. The latter allowing for discounts. Identity details are recorded as part of the membership process, thus ensuring some level of documentation and control. If you're looking for a decent, no nonsense, no frills drinking spot, with good food, SNS will fit the bill.

    One of the best place in Adyar for snooker. The place is well maintained and the staff are very friendly. They serve alcohol and snacks at very nominal cost. The food is tasty.

    Shady place. It has pool tables for those interested in playing pool. Have to take up a membership though.

    The place is only for members and usually it is full. So book your appointment before.. the drinks are reasonable priced and the variety is good. The side dishes are PROVIDED adequately and the additional snacks can also be ordered and reasonably priced. The smoking area is in the steps and there is no lift. Over all very good place and especially the cheese sticks are 👌👌👌👌👌

    IMPORTANT: This is a members only establishment. If you are a long term patron you could possibly get a temporary membership. Full membership costs @ 25000. Temporary membership @150. Great food! Nice ambience! Good service! Very reasonably priced. Best time to visit is during the day, between 1.30 pm and 5.30 pm less crowded.

  • 5/5 Sharath V. 1 year ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Best place in the neighborhood for a VFM drinking experience. Chennai most definitely has a dearth of quality watering holes for the middle class consumer. One either needs to be upscale or outright street thug to be able to enjoy your tipple. However this hidden gem is a blessing for people around Gandhinagar / Kasturba Nagar. There is air conditioning and the booze is nominally priced. Best part of the whole setup is the kitchen which serves up delectable side dishes. I go there mainly to enjoy the side dishes accompanied by the odd beer or whiskey. Do not miss this if you're in the vicinity and looking for a enjoyable session of drinks n food. There are also a couple of pool tables if one fancies a game or two. P.S though I would not consider any place in Chennai unsafe for women (due to the inherent culture of our city), I have never, in all my visits, ever seen any woman here ever. So ladies do visit if you are feeling adventurous.

    It's a shady watering hole. Expect beer and sides. They do have well-maintained pool/snooker and billiards tables and the service is pretty quick. The beer is also usually cold.

    A simple Bar with amazing food. They have snooker and pool also. This is one of the few bars in India that needs Membership to visit the bar. You can make a spot purchase of Membership worth 50 or 100 bucks and then inside it's all yours. Try the fish fry for sure.

  • 3/5 Magesh N. 2 years ago on Google
    Place is on main road, but too much noisy.. not the right place to do chit chat. Rest all services were good. No specific parking area for car or 2w.

  • 5/5 Vivian K. 5 years ago on Google
    I've been going there for atleast a few years now. The management are kind, welcoming and definitely prompt with efficiency. The prices are quite comfortable on your wallet, and the ambiance isn't too loud or in your face about itself, but rather lets you do you and be comfortable wile at it.

  • 3/5 Abilash R. 4 years ago on Google
    Old fashioned so called sports bar . They have this membership programme , again u have to fill the details of ppl coming which is in the entrance . Just a bar with no great ambience . Food is okish . Billiards Table is available . Needs an upgrade ....

  • 1/5 M S. 5 years ago on Google
    I have been visiting your club for the past few years. Today they refused to allow inside without membership, and insisting to pay 25k to issue the membership. I asked for the application form and they refused to issue. This rules would have relaxed in future. Regards.

    What good is a bar if the state's liquor is of poor quality? Whiskey and beer in Bengaluru is far better than what is served in Chennai or Tamil Nadu.
