Come evening, the Silicon Valley of Hyderabad is lit! Since it’s where most working professionals find themselves at, we find them either stuck in traffic or standing behind the lofty glass windows with an earnest hope that the traffic will dwindle away soon. But why do that when you can hang out at a bar, catch up with your friends, and unwind after a long day of work? So, pick your laptop bags, techies and follow us into the coolest budget bars in Hitech City, and eat, drink and make merry.

The Lal Street - Bar Exchange

The stock market is volatile — with its rises and dips. At The Lal Street (a pun on Dalal Street, Bombay Stock Exchange), the price of liquor is also volatile. Located inside the SLN Terminus Mall, Gachibowli, The Lal Street’s walls are painted in pop colours and graffiti art of Batman’s Joker, Monopoly board game and more. It’s the first stock market bar of Hyderabad and to order drinks here, you have to download their mobile application, check the prices (they ebb and flow), and order when it’s the lowest. We’ve noticed that the prices are usually cheap when the day is just beginning and rises high as night begins. Order their Peanuts Masala or BBQ Chicken Wings, and a pint of beer which might cost you less than INR 200.

Over The Moon Brew Company

It’s dishonourable to refuse a beer is what OTM says. With a pint of beer costing you only INR 160, you’ll also find stuff that doesn’t weigh heavy on one’s pocket. A painted OTM bus in the courtyard welcomes you into the bar with colourful floors and plush seating area. Pick the outdoor seating if you are looking for a less noisy space, but we recommend the indoors and their Special Drinks menu that has plenty of cocktails, infused drinks (vodka or white rum infused cocktails), and classics like daiquiri and martinis done in OTM style. With drinks, order the food off their Truckers Stop like Pita Cones stuffed with tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, sour cream, and a choice of chunky chicken or grilled prawns.

Heart Cup Coffee

Heart Cup Coffee (HCC) is known for its events. Whether it’s live music scene or stand-up comedy, HCC ignites it first. The evenings here can never be drab, and the place has all the potential to turn your day from ugh to whoa. The graffiti of Bob Marley, Marilyn Monroe, and the like assures you that you’re in a good company while the music allows you to let yourself some loose. Cut yourself some slack on weekdays and get here. Order some beer and peanut masala. Nothing fancy, just plain ol’ comfort drinks and food.
