Thane Pub Exchange - Korum Mall, Thane
Had visited this place on a weekend. Good ambience, loud music, and mixed crowd is what you notice on entering this place. A good hangout for friends looking to drink.
The concept of ordering drinks is similar to Bar Stock Exchange. We ordered for some Beers and Cranberry juice. The market had crashed so we got draught beer for as low as Rs. 99/- per glass. The drinks are actually daammmn cold.
Ordered for some finger food:-
New York Style Fries (Peri Peri flavored):- Quite good in taste and was crisp.
Chicken Koliwada Popcorn:- This is really liked due to the texture and fried chicken. Chicken in the form of small balls were tossed in a Koliwada style preparation and coated with bread crumbs and finally deep fried. This was served to us with fried curry leaves. Quite a twist. Was quite yummy and spicy.
Chicken Tikka & Onions Pizza:- This is a thin crust pizza with chicken tikka and onions with lots of cheese. Found the dish to be ok as by the time we finished it, it was quite cold (Yes the temperatures inside are blasting cold)
The downside to the entire experience and my reason for giving a 3* rating is because the day we had visited there was some major problem going on with their card machines and we were left with only 2 options either cash or UPI. Opted for the latter but due to some technical glitch, it kept showing USER account not accepting payment. Finally after a delay of 20 mins or so I successfully paid the amount via UPI and left the place. Due to this, we missed the first 20 mins of the movie.
My report card on The Thane Pub Exchange:-
Ambience: 3/5
Food: 4/5
Service: 3/5 (Was a bit slow as it was the weekend and it was quite crowded)
Location: 4/5
P.S.: They also have a Somvaar Bazaar where you can order drinks at really cheap prices.
