Hyderabad’s Pubs and Bars Spring Back to Life Starting Today:
Big bash events and revelry are set to return to pubs and bars as party-goers make their way back to their favorite hangout spots this weekend. This marks a fresh start for customers who had to abstain from their beloved drinks and non-vegetarian dishes during Sravan and the festive season that began in August.
Following the conclusion of the Ganesh idol immersion on Friday, tavern and bar owners have prepared special plans to welcome back patrons and their regular clientele. Most taverns and bars saw a decrease in attendance over the past few weeks.
Dora Madan Goud from a bar in Machabolaram noted, “Alcohol and non-veg sales saw a 50 percent drop.” Prabhu Ravikanth David, manager of a pub in Begumpet, commented, “This part of the business is influenced by people’s sentiments. After consistently having 100 percent occupancy, our pub’s attendance dropped significantly. I am confident that starting this weekend, we will see more table reservations. To mark this occasion, we have scheduled performances by renowned DJs.”
The timing seems perfect with the upcoming cricket World Cup, which is expected to bring in more customers. According to A. Jaya Prakash, the general manager of a brewery, “The days of low attendance will be a thing of the past. The World Cup will attract youth, families, and cricket enthusiasts. Furthermore, our pub boasts the largest screens in the twin cities, and there will be live music to enhance the celebration.”
The lead singer of the popular music band Kalyan Project, which performs in pubs, expressed, “As performers, we thrive on packed audiences. Over the past few weeks, we have been performing in front of just a few customers. I am confident that things will improve starting this Saturday.”
