Smoke House Bar Café in New Delhi
Smoke House Bar Café in New Delhi
With some time zone lag, I reached New Delhi International
Airport at around two in the morning. A few hours layover before Kathmandu
happens. Layovers are lackluster moments
if there’s nothing to do and nothing to see. But in India, it doesn’t seem
so. A chill out place in the middle of the Departure’s waiting area, which
could pass as a TripAdvisor approved bar café. The airport’s lackluster killer!
#boredomkills Spending your layover at the Smoke
House Bar Cafe, with a kindle, a bottle, and a looped song, is the
thing to do!
The only way you can access this exclusive
hangout is for you to reach the departure waiting area. There are a lot of
choices to choose from, but this is the first “savior” you’ll see once you get
pass the security area. Fyi, the security check here is the longest chore
you’ll ever chance upon – in fact so long, so tedious, so meticulous, so
back-and-forth, it feels like the time zone got stuck in their favor. Seeing
this favorite bar place makes it worth the wait. Lol.
This bar scene is an open oval shaped area and
people can choose to sit in comfortable couple seats, family seats, or long
lounge seats. The place is where most westerners and expat travelers hang out –
doing business talks, coffee talks, and alone times. There’s a buffet area for
food and drinks. The staff here is the quick to assist everyone in everything –
even in taking group pictures. Must try:
Stress
Buster Smoothie, Soul Smoothie and Green Tea + Lemon Grass!
Passing a few hours of time here is the best choice I’ve made in my wee-hours decision-making task. You can only do so much wise decision with little-to-no sleep, and this is one wise choice! The place is good for all out lounging, resting, and relaxed slow talks. Smoke House Bar + Café in New Delhi is good for big crowds, adult intensive families, and even some solo idling.
