The culture of pubbing in India has grown with times, from being a seedy hole in corners of hotels to the classy stylish establishments buzzing with activity. They have come a long way from remaining a gentlemen only establishment to being enjoyed by both sexes. Now pubs are equally frequented by men as well as women. India has progressed a lot. It’s a misconception that our country doesn’t have their own chain of pubs and to correct this assumption we state the name of a popular chain of pubs that are found all over the country. ’10 Downing Street’ is a trendy and popular pub that acts as the bridge between two (read: Western & Indian) cultures. In the world of exciting pubbing, 10 Downing Street stands tall through its vintage décor and a sensational bar menu. It is an ideal place to enjoy the nightlife of Chennai in an old-fashioned way.
T. Nagar is where you will find an outlet of 10 Downing Street, tucked into the premises of Kences Inn Boutique Hotel on North Boag Road. The reason behind the immense success of the pub is its old-fashioned English pub décor with a distinct desi vibe.
