The Dark Room by Wynnd Hotels has launched its much-awaited ‘Beer Fest’, a high-energy celebration that blends the love for craft brews with the joy of shared moments. Set in the heart of Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, the month-long event runs daily from 3:00pm to 8:00pm, starting July 1, 2025.

Positioned as a vibrant escape for after-work chills or afternoon hangouts, the Beer Fest is designed to bring people together with music, laughter, and enticing offers on brews and bites. Whether you're catching up with friends or looking for a laid-back yet exciting vibe, The Dark Room delivers a perfect blend of affordability and indulgence.

The curated menu features value-rich combos tailored for all kinds of beer lovers—from the light sipper to the full-fledged enthusiast. Guests can enjoy:

  • 2 Beers + Nachos

  • 3 Beers + Starter 

  • 6-Beer Bucket + 2 Starters

  • 10 Beers + Veg/Non-Veg Platter

The event promises a diverse lineup of Indian and international beer brands, paired with crowd-favourite finger foods and starters, making it a complete gastronomic experience. All combos are subject to government taxes and a 10% service fee, maintaining transparency in billing.

Himanshu Sapra, Co-founder of The Dark Room, shared his thoughts on the festival:

“The Beer Festival is not just about drinks—it’s about community, energy, and the magic of shared experiences. We’ve seen the nightlife culture slowly morph into a bland, over-styled version of what it once was. At The Dark Room, we’re reclaiming that culture—the loud music, the intimate conversations over beer, the thrill of the unknown. This festival is a tribute to that original spirit.”

Alongside the irresistible beer combos, guests can expect live DJ sets, vibrant music lineups, and an atmosphere that brings people closer—capturing the very soul of nightlife. The mission? Not just to pour beer, but to pour memories that linger long after the night ends.
