Enough has been said about the biggest bar in Lucknow and they still surprise us. The place is chill, they have a rooftop, a whole selection of delicious food and they have the live screening of all the matches. Now that is a good combo! Who can say no to a few craft cocktails when the pressure is on and only a few overs left to bowl.
Munick
[rebelmouse-image 22608794 original_size=”2048×1365″ expand=1]
Munick is known as the place to grab pints and pints of beer and swoon to the electric music. The best part is that they have two screens here so you can be sitting upstairs or on the ground floor but you’ll not miss out on all the action.
Percussion

Percussion is among the best few places to hangout in Lucknow. The restro bar is known for its chic vibe and uber cool interiors. Head over to this place and grab a few cocktails and let the tempers fly away any which where.
Royal Sky

Royal Sky is a classic, they are the go-to place when we are in need of good food in Hazratganj. The rooftop restaurant is one of the famous restro-bars in Lucknow and as luck would have, they also screen the matches here! So sit under the open sky, get yourself a bunch of food, maybe some drinks and watch the magic unfold.
Scott and a Barrel
[rebelmouse-image 22606058 original_size=”1280×853″ expand=1]
The best place to drink like a Scott is also a great place to catch the live screening of your favourite match. We would recommend ordering a few beers, some ‘chakhna’ or the usual grub and letting the magic of a well placed shot over the boundary thrill you.
The Drowning Street
[rebelmouse-image 22608936 original_size=”1280×853″ expand=1]

The Terrace
