Lounge by day and club by night
Launched in May by owner Srikanth Commuri, Rebel and Rye – Bar & Kitchen can be found on the fifth
floor peacefully overlooking the city. The 3,500 sq.ft. space is minimalistic and features a menu that
boasts a fusion of flavors with a mix of traditional and modern dishes.
VIBE
It has indoor and outdoor
(rooftop) seating, that is separated by glass windows. Natural light seeps in through these windows,
illuminating the 160-seater which also incorporates an elegant bar area. Where we are seated there is a
wall featuring musical legends like The Beatles, Freddie Mercury, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Bob
Marley and Madonna. It complements the theme of the hangout spot.
DRINKS
We order their signature cocktails, a strong rum-based Tall & Stormy, and the subtle and delicate gin-
based Above the Clouds. Though both cocktails are great, it is Tall & Stormy, the tiki drink with orange,
pineapple and blend of white and dark rum, that stands out for us.
FOOD
Later we are recommended a delightful selection of food. This includes the Romaine Style Chicken; a
crunchy and creamy Nachos served with Salsa and Sour Cream; the tender Tai Pai Paneer that melts in
the mouth; the soft- textured Pomegranate Prawns seasoned with fresh pomegranate juice and cheese;
and the plentiful non-Veg Platter which includes Chicken Popcorn, Achari Chicken Tikka, Kung Schezwan
Chicken, and Chicken Chimichurri. Our meal ends with the ultra-creamy Brownie with Ice Cream, perfect
for any occasion.
MUSIC & OTHER ACTIVITIES
House music plays during the day here. Wednesday sees Jazz Nights; Thursday, Retro Rock; Fridays and
Saturdays will soon see a shuffle between DJ nights and live band performances; and Sundays
incorporate Sundowners. Keep a lookout for the celebrated Chennai-based band Staccato who are to
perform soon.
