The Old School Brewhouse In Gurgaon Is A Blast From The Past

New in Sector 29, The Old School Brewhouse serves up multi-cuisine fare, glasses of freshly-brewed beer and heaps of nostalgia.

Gurgaon’s newbie brewery is a massive throwback; the old-school cooking techniques, all of your dad’s favourite music and vintage decor leaves you feeling like you’ve taken a trip to the past. Spread over two floors {including a really nice rooftop}, The Old School Brewhouse has lots of wooden panels and brick walls, a wood-fired oven and even a huge barbecue.

Both the bars {one on the terrace, as well} are really pretty, and we can already imagine throwing a massive sundowner at The Old School Brewhouse.

We started our meal with an unusual soup substitute; tender pieces of chicken, quinoa and parmesan foam were served with a big helping of chicken broth and the combination was surprisingly nice. The kind of chicken soup our soul needs, really.

The non-vegetarian mezze platter, served with four kinds of dips {including a delish hummus}, was a huge winner. Each protein was duly represented – chicken, lamb and even fish satays – along with pita bread and veggies.

Their wood-fired pizzas are square-shaped; another old-school element to the food. Don’t forget to try ;their Bhut Jolokhia menu items; wings and some pork belly. Keep water {or beer} on hand though, because this’ll burn.

We ended our meal with a warm chocolate brownie {served with a bit of a flaming surprise!} and a big helping of their All American Banana Split.

Wheat or lager, the Old School Brewhouse is currently pouring six types of beers. Their Lager was quite nice; we’d definitely recommend getting a glass to beat the heat, now that summer is upon us.

However, alcohol-wise, what stole the show was their Wasabi in a Mug cocktail. Vodka, ginger and lime with all the flavour of wasabi and none of the pungency; this one pairs well with everything. It’s served in a copper mug, which, we were informed, helps cut some of the sinus-clearing, eye-watering tang of wasabi.

The Old School Brewhouse is great for large groups; they’ve got beer, sharing platters and a menu that’s diverse enough to accommodate all kinds of tastes and preferences. Weekend plans sorted?
