After a long day at the office in muggy Mumbai, what could be a better idea than to chill over a pitcher of beer? That’s exactly what we did one weekday, when we headed to newly Bandra’s newly-opened beer cafe, The Pint Room. Locating the place was easy, especially since it’s on bustling Linking Road.

As we stepped in, we noticed that the place wasn’t spacious. It was buzzing with people — a good sign considering that they had opened doors their doors recently, We seated ourselves at the busy bar. The white-and-red interiors and quirky statements on the wall revolving around beer were interesting but the lighting inside was an issue — too bright for comfort. Subtlety would’ve set the mood.
