This
place
markets
itself
as
an
“Exclusive
cigar
and
malt
lounge”
but
is
everything
but
that.
We
went
as
a
group
of
5
-
two
couples
and
a
single
lady.
This
is
a
list
of
my
issues
with
Cheroot:
1.
Low
barrier
of
entry:
the
package
is
only
2.5k
per
person
for
unlimited
drinks.
That’s
way
too
low
for
an
“exclusive
establishment
“.
Also
because
you
are
allowing
stags,
coupled
with
the
low
entry
fee,
you
have
all
kinds
of
creepy
men
in
the
lounge
which
is
disconcerting
for
the
women,
which
brings
me
to
my
next
point.
2.
Unsafe:
Cheroot
is
not
safe
for
women.
There
were
only
5
women
in
the
whole
lounge,
3
of
who
came
from
my
group.
Most
of
the
stags
kept
lecherously
staring
at
us,
and
two
men
literally
tried
to
dance
with
one
of
my
girl
friends
without
her
consent.
Bouncers
did
come
in
after
the
men
in
my
group
told
them
to
take
care
of
those
two
men;
but
we
continued
to
be
ogled
at
throughout
our
time
there.
I
would
not
recommend
this
place
for
single
women
or
female
stag
groups.
3.
In-edible
food:
Food
was
horrible.
Period.
There
was
a
paneer
croquette
given
as
part
of
starters.
I
think
the
chef
has
mistakenly
added
some
sweet
stuffing
for
some
dessert
in
the
filling.
4.
Bad
music:
The
music
being
played
is
mixed
poorly
and
does
not
give
the
good
vibes
needed.
5.
They
tried
serving
expensive
whiskey
in
cheap
plastic
glasses.
The
rationale
provided
was
that
we
might
get
drunk
and
break
the
glasses.
This
is
unacceptable
for
a
5
star
establishment.
This
shows
that
the
lounge
is
frequented
by
drunks
due
to
low
barrier
of
entry.
After
we
protested,
they
gave
us
real
glasses;
and
we
didn’t
break
any.
:)
Here
are
some
suggestions
for
improvement:
1.
Increase
the
barrier
of
entry:
Increase
the
entry
fee
across
the
board,
and
make
it
more
expensive
for
stags,
as
in
the
standard
in
major
clubs
and
lounges
across
the
world.
This
somewhat
prevents
the
wrong
sort
of
men
from
coming
in.
You
can
also
make
it
couples
only.
2.
Make
it
safe
for
women:
The
success
of
a
lounge
comes
from
the
footfall
of
women.
The
more
women
who
come,
the
more
safe
it
will
be.
Come
up
with
incentives
to
bring
them
into
the
lounge
and
make
them
feel
safe.
3.
Improve
the
food
and
music.
PS:
ITC,
you
have
accepted
that
this
“exclusive
lounge”
has
now
transformed
into
a
haven
for
uncontrollable
drunks.
Please
do
better.
