Not all of us get to watch a cricket match live. But we can get some pizza and a bucket of unlimited beer before we settle in front of a big screen. Here’s where to do just that
All Chili’s American Grill & Bar
120-inch screen

Nothing is more annoying than having to crane your neck to see if the ball hit the boundary or not. Here, you won’t have to. The chain’s Malad, Powai and Vashi outlets have a 120-inch screen and the icing on the cake is that it comes with shareable portions of finger foods that range from paneer bites and Texas cheese poppers to boneless buffalo wings. During happy hours there’s also a buy-1-get-1-free offer on margaritas, cocktails, domestic beers and select liquors.

Finally, an offer on wine
If like most Indians, you have switched your beer loyalties, this is a good offer. For Rs 799 you get a Bira Growler. Hungry? Try the beet and feta cheese cigar rolls or the Dynamite Prawns along with many other scrumptious choices. But, there’s also a ‘Hey there’ for wine lovers. There’s a 1+1 offer on wine and sangrias from Myra. Not enough? Extended ‘Happi’ hours mean that if you buy four drinks, there will be four more free sitting on your table.
