Love Craft Beers, Visit this new happening place in Powai

The Beer Paddle Visited this place last Tuesday with a Friend and i must say the place is lit and gives very good vibes as soon as you enter. Surely it's a must visit place for Craft Beer Lovers, Though i only liked dark ones only. Beer Cocktails here are a must try. Seating arrangement is very good and specious enough. Even the tables are a bit bigger than regular size which gives enough room to place the food as per comfort. Some nice decoration all around and they have DJ events on weekends and special days as well. So if you want to party with some delicious food and craft beers this is one of the places you should be. We started with The Beer Paddle which is a 4 glasses of 200ml beer and you can choose from available flavors. We had "The Pilsner", "Hefeweizen",  "Dark Lager" & "Coffee Stout". Both the "Dark Lager" & "Coffee Stout" were very good, Loved this two. Other two were not according to my tas

145 Bandra - Excellent new choice for Lip-smacking bite and coolest drinks

Visited 145 at Bandra on Monday Night, Their 2nd outlet after success at KalaGhoda. Haven't been their, But will plan a visit for that place to after having an amazing experience at this place.

Lovely decor starts from the building gate itself, The tree decorated with round balls with the name 145 on it. Looks quite cool. While going towards the restaurant you can also stop for selfie session on stairs. Loved the color, Because it was Red(Liverpool :) ). Entering the bar, It is very huge in terms of space. They have options of High chairs, Sofa etc, Also have pool table. Music was amazing, Decent number of people turned up even though it was Monday. Large screen for sports lover. Food and drinks were as impressive as it can be. Overall experience was just astonishing.

Coming to what we had, I started with "Tart Berry Cooler". It was a vodka based cocktail containing Kokum & Cranberry. Very refreshing start of the evening.

For biting we ordered "Pav bhaji Cones" & "Kurkure Bahl". The first bite of Pavbhaji cone will make you fall in love with this place(At least it did to me). The Pavbhaji was the best one i ever had (It was slightly on sweeter side). But it was perfect for me, Nothing can beat this one. So a Must must try.

"Kurkure Bahl" - Their Signature dish was also great. Perfectly crunchy & tangy. It was a bhel(Mumbai Style) but with a variation of Kurkure instead of Mamra(Puffed Rice).

After having two of the great starters, Wanted to try more so ordered "Magic Masala Potato Skins" & "Crunchy Corn Tempura". Magic Masala Potato Skins is also one of their signature dishes. It is served with green chutney dip(A salsa version of the green chutney we get at regular Indian places). Potato Skins were great.

But "Crunchy Corn Tempura" was the one i like more, Because it had corn :P. Corn were sweet and perfectly fried. As per its name it was equally crunchy and delicious. This one was served with Spicy Mayo Dip, Which was also as good as the green chutney dip(A bit more better). Loved this.

Midway my drink glass was empty, So tried "The Bandra Mule". Another Vodka based drink, Served in a cool looking Brass Mug(Gives you an antique kind of feel). Tried this one because in this one vodka is mixed with Green Chutney, Which sounded interesting. The drink was good.

To go with it ordered "Stuffed Cheese Naan", Another signature one. In this they serve 5 Cheesy naans(Puri shaped) with green chutney. If you love cheese, It would be a mistake to miss this one.

Didn't wanted to repeat any ingredients so decided on "Mushroom on Toast". Button mushrooms with cheesy cream sauce tasted excellent and toast was equally good. But somehow i wasn't liking eating them together. So i ate the stuffings first and toast letter(Like how most of us would have done with cream biscuits as a child :P).

Wanted to have one more drink but couldn't decide, So one of the staff member(Gopal) suggested "Cucumber & Basil Martini". Which felt kind of a healthy drink, So one should feel good after cheating this much on a Diet :P. The drink was amazing, felt it to be less tangy and more kind of sweet.

None of us had much room for Main course but still ordered "Fredo's Favorite", Penne in creamy cheese sauce. Best pasta i had since the visit to Italy in a box. This one is a spicier one So if you like spice, Go for it.

Time came for dessert, Wanted to try chocolate but wouldn't wanted to miss their famous Cotton Candy Tower, So we had both "Cotton Candy Tower" & "Four Layered Chocolate Bomb". 

Cotton candy tower is placed on a 145 year old Women head(Age was written on her forehead :P). Savored each hair i ate :P. Four Layered Chocolate Bomb was equally delicious, Layer of white and dark chocolate, Red velvet & Brownie. It was a delight who likes all of this. I enjoy red velvet less, So it kind of didn't go for me. But Buddhi na baal more than cover up for my dessert appetite.

Finished off with Peanut Butter Milkshake, To down the alcohol effect a little bit before leaving :P.

So i had a fabulous time here, Must visit place. Definitely going to be here again or the Kala Ghoda one.
