OVER THE TOP , PARK STREET
OTT is situated just beside the Park Street KFC (opposite Peter Cat).  The rooftop area isn’t much big but i really like their seating arrangements (white furniture’s with red cushions, swing seats and the pretty little candle lamps on the tables). Initially they played 90s pop songs (which I heard after a long time and must say it was pretty nostalgic!). The party feeling gradually pumped up with the DJ playing the recent hit tracks.

BLUE AND BEYOND , LINDSAY STREET
At the departure of the dusk, beyond the bustles, towards the blue. “Blue and Beyond” synonym for elated and exceeding.The entrance itself describes the alluring art and culture of “The Bongs”, expressed as grey memories on the wall.

It becomes more eloquent when accompanied by sip of cinderella and so cheesy cheese sticks with mayo and lastly succulent tutty fruity.
