Not much is said about the nightlife of Chennai city. However, recently we were put straight when on our tour of the city we came across several fantastic pubs to affirm our faith. We were pleasantly surprised to find a plethora of great nightspots tucked in the city that will put even Delhi or Mumbai to shame. It's because we started digging deeper that we came across a gem of a place called ‘Diff 42 – Resto Lounge'. The bar is frequented by young tipplers who come in to grab a few drinks after work or to laze around on weekends biding the week goodbye. On nights they host live sports screening, the bar is packed to the hilt. It's better to book ahead. You will find Diff 42 Opposite Vijaynagar Bus Terminus, Taramani Road in Velachery.

While you'll find the usual suspects on Diff 42's bar menu, there are some amazing labels to be explored. The menu lures you with a vast assortment of alcohols from all across the world. Begin your night with jagerbomb shots before proceeding with something stronger. The bartender whips up delicious signature concoctions presented with quirky names. With it munch down couple of starters off pub's multi-cuisine menu. Spicy rosemary chicken tikka, crispy chilly babycorn, mutton sukka varuval, crab meat balls with dip, mix veg tempura, Punjabi malai paneer tikka, squid rings, spicy sweet corn fritters and Andhra kodi vepudu, will do for start. Dig deeper into the menu through mains, chicken stroganoff, baby corn mushroom in chilly sauce, pasta in four cheese sauce, murgh kali mirchi, shredded lamb with red yellow pepper sauce and mutton rogan josh.

They organize fun lady and Bollywood nights to keep you entertained. A small makeshift dance floor throbs with energy when the DJ spins some grooves. Diff 42 is a great place to let down your hair and dance the night away. Reserve a table through EazyDiner to get amazing discounts and Diff 42 offers.
