    Pathetic place. No proper customer service. Food is worst. We all fell sick and had food poisoning the next day. Staff doesnt know how to serve customers. We kept asking for plates and they didnt give at all. Music was ear blasting. The chef had no answers to half baked pizzas. Worst experience of my life.

    The DJ in here is a total flop. Staff is polite but music is not up to the mark. For places like these they should have more powerful music . The crowd was not so great and food was okay. I give 5/10.

    The Very classic Bikes & Barrel, located on the 1st floor of The Residency Towers, T. Nagar. As you enter, you can experience the Interiors having a vintage wooden accents and antique décor. Your eyes cannot miss the 1946 Norton Classic bike suspended from the ceiling to match with the theme and the name. It is know for it's charm of an English pub adding up the Indian and Chinese bites. You will find 2 levels in the pub with a pool table, dance floor, smoking zone and an in-house D.J. for a great experience. It certainly got some good vibes. I would strongly recommend that you should visit for a quality time!

    Great ambiance. Very well maintained place. Worth the money and time spent are this place. Trendy crowd. Need to wear shoes to get into this place. But now worries if you are there without one. They have some shoes which you can use inside:) 😊 . Service is outstanding here. They attenders are well behaved and professional. Must visit bar in chennai. They h have some great starters too. They do serve cocktails and mock tails . They do not have a great mocktail menu..

  • 1/5 Anoop N. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to this bar first in our bar hopping night. Not sure if it’s under staffed but there was delay in everything - food, drinks and finally for the bill. Bill was wrong too. imported liquor tax was charged for domestic drinks the we had. On removal of tax the price increased and finally a third version of the bill was given. Wasted more than an hour in waiting. Won’t recommend until the situation changes.

    No customer centric service, extremely pathetic behavior specially by manager. Food taste is really bad, had terrible experience. Had to taste first and get it rectified to have good taste. Ambience is good.

  • 1/5 Orangy b. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an unpleasant and derogatory experience by the manager Mr.Chowdry. Me and my friend were constantly asked if we paid the bill while we were still eating ,weren’t able to use to restroom in peace as this man kept watching us going in and out. I wonder how this fellow is employed in a place like residency towers that has a standard. Definitely a no for ladies and would never visit this place again.

    Very bad place. They have limited food options in their menu and the food tastes like hell.. I ordered harabhara kabab that smells like raw mustard oil yakkkkk There were no proper customer service. Staff doesn’t know how to deal with the customers.

    Its a perfect experienced....From providing helpful recommendations for local attractions, to ensuring that all of my needs were met with a smile, they were an absolute pleasure to interact with. I was happy by the creativity and originality of the food offerings at this restaurant. Each dish felt like a unique, inspired creation that showcased a deep passion and understanding of the culinary arts. The employees at this place demonstrated a rare level of attentiveness and care, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was perfect. The same level of care was evident in the cooking, with every dish prepared with absolute precision and care. Thank you so much.

  • 5/5 Sanjeev J. 10 months ago on Google
    This place has been the best for years and holds true even today.. The service and the ambience is great... Whenever I'm in that part of town, this is my first & foremost priority to chill and hangout.. Best to host parties for friends and go as a couple.. The service is quick but anticipate delay when it's crowded.. Usual in every pub I would say.. Still a great place to watch matches.. The ambience is something tat attracts me...it's like a tavern in the country side with dim & bright lights.. Perfect place to party with yummy foods and beverage of your choice.. 😎✌🏻

  • 3/5 Abir B. 1 year ago on Google • 64 reviews
    I went on a Thursday which was one of the days when there's less footfall. The ambience is nice and a little space in front of the bar that i guess is used as a dance floor. A nice place to hang out. Cleanliness needs some looking at and they would do well with regular pest control.

  • 1/5 Sam S. 1 month ago on Google • 49 reviews New
    The service here was so bad. Literally only another one guess around and they couldn't even find me menu for me to order anything. Limited food and beer selection. Very disappointing.

  • 3/5 Raj D. 10 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    This place is perfect for people who enjoy Bollywood music and a moderate crowd. The Pasta and a couple of other starters here are good. Mocktails are pretty good

  • 5/5 Vj R. 4 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Great place to spend time with friends or loved ones. Ambience is good but food delivery was late. Nice place to have some moves with your accompanied ones. Prawn fry was the best what I had along with Tomato Shorbha

  • 1/5 Sunil R. 5 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    We could encounter few cockroaches around the table and on walls .. Date 16th November : 21:00 Hrs. This was informed to the Manager In-Charge.

  • 4/5 Mehul M. 2 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    It's more of a pub than a club, so know that as it shows up on searching Clubs too. There are few tables, so prebook a table for yourself. Drinks for girls are free I think till 10 PM. Boys need to pay theirs. Good collection of drinks, and are professional.

  • 4/5 Anand M. 3 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    Amazing vibe. All the people were dancing on the floor like crazy.

  • 3/5 Rishi D. 7 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Let me remind you Chennai doesn't have any breweries for fresh beer. So this is the closest to that vibe. It's on the 2nd floor of a 5 star hotel but it's easy to get there without worrying about having to enter a hotel. The place's decor is like a brewery. I liked it! They played Ganster rap music which was also nice. Sadly, food wise, they almost had nothing available. So I tried potato wedges & beer of course. Was decent!

  • 5/5 Vijay Rajeswari V. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Been coming here for the last 20 years! Please don’t change the ambience and retain the originality when you renovate. The staff has been excellent in service and friendliness…very nostalgic! My recent best service received from Vignesh.P. when I visited with my entire family while staying here. They went out of the way to make us feel at home in-spite of so many renovation work going on at the premises! Very dedicated staff!

  • 5/5 the_idiotic_writer 5 years ago on Google
    It is a nice place to party with your friends.The atmosphere out there was excellent?Their Ambience was good.The Staffs working over there was very friendly to us?If you want to hangout with your friends,Dance with them and to have fun with them means go this place.You will surely enjoy it❤️I loved this place?

  • 3/5 Komal A. 4 years ago on Google
    This was my go to place after work a few years ago. The interiors are chick and even has a bike hanging from the ceiling. The service is quick and finger food is average. However the crowd that comes now is not suitable. They play good music too. There isn't any dance floor. Valet parking is available too.

  • 5/5 Narenthiran G. 4 years ago on Google
    Best place enjoy our night life........ After 11 PM only DJ will put nice songs... Only drawback is stag entry is not allowed to dance on the floor.

  • 1/5 Nirmal T. 4 years ago on Google
    DJ for new year night was so bad that I forced to write this review. Playing few 90’s songs is understandable but how can somebody play a list of old songs continuously. Then you guys could have kept 90’s theme for the new year party. That would have made some sense. Very strange collection of old songs. I am not able to figure out what went wrong. Anyways next year party in Bike and Barrels is a complete NO NO. Am done...

  • 3/5 Anuroop K. 4 years ago on Google
    This Place is not a standalone pub, rather a pub inside a 5 star hotel. They have 2 separate floors for couples/females and stags. All the time that I was there they only played English songs, which are not very good mood setters for us Indians. Booze was also a bit pricey. All in all, you can visit the place once, but not worth visiting more than that

  • 1/5 Mausam B. 4 years ago on Google
    They have more bouncers than waiters, very intimidating entry. With just a few diners in, I think the reason they have so many guards is to prevent brawls. Doesn't feel like a safe place, Clearly Avoidable!!

  • 5/5 Mathav R. 4 years ago on Google
    Best party place little but conjugated dance floor but over all designs r perfect u can njy well foods r tasty over there i wld recommend to try chicken noodles for sure

  • 4/5 Pearl P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Rajesh N. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place to hangout with buddies and also works well if you want to go solo. Serves good food. The alcoholic beverages and cocktails aren't phenomenal if you're going by the unlimited package, but definitely decent. Their smoking lounge is comfortable. The music, television and their ambience is a cool deal. Overall, it's a good place to have a few drinks and lunch!

  • 4/5 Vignesh S. 3 years ago on Google
    This place actually took my by surprise. Again one of the few places in the city which is open late nights on weekends. The crowd and the music is good. Also food and liquor are nominal

  • 1/5 saurabh m. 4 years ago on Google
    Bad place. First Bad experience in Chennai in last 6 years! They didn't serve 4lt beer pitcher, so we ordered 1.5 lt pitcher, later we saw 4lt pitcher being served at other table. We went at pool table, cue was broken, when we asked for cue, they deny having one. After 15 min we saw other playing pool. Discrimination! South Vs North... What I felt here. . Not recommended!

  • 2/5 Sampat N. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 vara s. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is not that great but what they lack in food they really make it up to you with their service. The service we received was top notch especially their female staffs, they were professional yet very humble and their smiles and faces are a sight for sore eyes. Will definitely visit again not because of the FOOD but because of the remarkable service we received.

    Dullest experience so far in the city!! If you're going as a stag then, they will make you sit in the first floor. That means, no dance floor for you. Food is Good, beer options are less in numbers!

  • 1/5 Candice R. 2 years ago on Google
    The place was nice. However your staff Aravind in particular did not possess the slightest decency. He was extremely rude while we settled the bill. And moreover refused to give a copy of the bill. You really train your managers on how to speak with your customers.

  • 1/5 rakesh s. 9 months ago on Google
    I had a bad experience here. We went on 25 June 2023, sunday night. And guess what, the bar was completely empty. Only the staff were there inside enjoying the AC. And a manager in safari suit stood outside. Tables with multiple chairs are arranged alongside the wall. Mostly wooden interiors with wooden dance floor. The safari suit manager suddenly came up to us and said, sleeveless isn't allowed pointing to our friend. The manager didn't have any reply for my why? Oh, its just management policies. But why? What's the logic? I'd like to believe he didn't know it. Didn't taste the food. The dance floor looked decent. No entry charges or cover charges.

    Cockroaches all over the place (on the walls, on their sofas, on the tissues), as of 14th November 2023. Management says they did pest control recently, can’t believe them.

  • 4/5 rahul r. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    This place is very isolated,it is inside the residency towers . Alcohol is very costly like one 30 ml will cost you 800 and one beer pint 330 ml will cost you 500. But food is very good and has good quantity. Cosmo is not sweet And long island ice tea will cost you 1400
