Located in Koregaon Park, Murphies has been a personal favourite but now it's back with a rebooted version that has an all new zing to it.
The Barkhana
There's a hip spot in town and party-lovers are going to love it for its ambiance, vibes, food and beverages. Situated near Wakad-Hinjewadi highway, The Barkhana is all about live music, sport screenings and yummilicious spread of delicacies.
The name of the place, The Bar + khana itself gives you an idea that it specialises in both food as well as beverages. The bar menu comprises of multiple specialties such as the Barkhana LIIT, boozy punches, whiskey sour etc. We tried the whiskey sour as well as the their mocktails, the healthy fruit punch.
