rising craft beer culture in the vicinity and a slew of craft beer breweries

the other covering 4 to 6 of the most happening places in Gurgaon like breweries from the most famous Manhattan Group - BRONX, UPTOWN, MANHATTAN and others like 7 Degree Brauhaus, Lagom and Quaff.
Everyone was excited to try BRONX as it was the latest entrant from the Manhattan Group which excels in quality and commitment. The best part is , everyone loved the different varieties of Beer at all these places especially MANHATTAN and BRONX.
UPTOWN and QUAFF were another two places which mostly guests loved. The quality of Beer and flavors were amazing.
Manhattan, The Craft Brewery and Exchange
The first thing that catches your fancy when you enter
Manhattan, Brewery and Bar Exchange at Level 1 of the Global Foyer Mall on Golf
Course Road, Gurgaon, is the huge copper brew house. Shining cylindrical
vessels connected to each other through pipes, they remind you of a vintage
Brewery of Germany, but what's brewing inside them is beer - different flavours
of it rather! Yes, it is one of the largest and finest microbreweries in the
country! While you appreciate the aesthetic effect of 'beer on tap', the large
format screens are sure to attract your attention next. But why have six of
them all at one place? Well, four of them are for a very exciting concept -
motion-based interactive gaming. Sip your beer and then fight it out...on the
screens! The two really large ones in the center serve as an interactive
backdrop to the stage during events. And if you happen to be a soccer and
cricket aficionado who wishes to catch the action live 70mm style, then this
place is sure to rock you.
BRONX -
Settled in the middle of the popular Sector 29 market, built over 4 levels the
pub has a cellar like feel to its basement and a very cozy indoor with open
verandah seating on the first floor. The top level is the terrace which, being
a corner, has a very open feel with various seating options right from cabana
couches to high tables. The street art at the terrace is already a talk of the
town and adds to the open feel. At Bronx the alcohol menu is very elaborate
with its star the brewed beer. It comes in 4 types, Wheat, Lager Dark &
Ale. The food menu is very exciting with a whole lot of options of lip smacking
starters and main course covering Indian, Chinese, Tex Mex, European, Italian,
Mediterranean and American Cuisine.
UPTOWN - Situated in the midst of
Galleria Market, DLF Phase IV, Dressed up in its warm and cozy ambience they
serve you the best of international dishes to make for a memorable dining
experience. A menu with European, Italian, Mexican, Oriental and North Indian
food, the most interesting aspect is their microbrewery which serves three
different variants of fresh beer (Premium Lager, Dark Lager and German Wheat
Lager) apart from a long list of spirits, wine, cocktail and mocktails.
LAGOM - An ideal place to unwind and unravel, LAGOM gets its inspiration from a
Swedish word, which means just the right amount of everything. So if we talk
about the restaurant, it displays the perfect balance of delightful food,
brewed beer and cocktails churned out from their bar.
Lagom exudes warm & earthy colors, lively sounds and a very distinct
ambience, which adds to the raw yet modern feel of the restaurant concept.
QUAFF - Quaff is an upscale brewpub, located in DLF cyber hub
Gurgaon. Already famous for its finest brews, Quaff is the only place in
Gurgaon which focuses on making some real craft beer. For the first time these
guys introduced TRUE IPA and DUNKELWEIZEN.
