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.

With its urban-chic setting, signature mood lighting, and electric energy, The Dark Room’s Beer Fest is a must-visit this season for anyone in Delhi-NCR looking to celebrate beer, people, and music.

Nando’s, the internationally celebrated South African brand known for its flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, has made its much-anticipated entry into Pune with the launch of its first Casa at Phoenix Marketcity Mall in Viman Nagar.

The brand, fondly calling its restaurants “Casa” (meaning home in Portuguese), is bringing its fiery flavors to a city that has a deep love for food and bold taste experiences. After winning hearts in Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Punjab, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, Pune now joins the list of cities enjoying the iconic Nando’s touch.

“Pune is a city rich in culture, creativity and a serious love for food,” said Sameer Bhasin, CEO, Nando’s India. “We’ve felt the excitement from Punekars, who have been visiting us in other cities in India and other countries for a long time, and now we’re ready to serve the bold, unforgettable flavors they’ve been waiting for. We’re proud to bring our PERi-PERi experience to Pune and Phoenix Marketcity is the perfect place to begin.”

What sets Nando’s apart is its fresh approach to food. All its bastings, marinades, and sauces are made using real ingredients with no artificial flavors or colorants. The chicken is always flame-grilled for that unique taste, and diners can choose their spice level, from mild to Extra Hot, depending on how much heat they can handle.

Beyond the food, each Nando’s Casa is designed to immerse guests in the heart and soul of Southern Africa. Bold colors, handcrafted art, and Afro-Luso beats create a lively atmosphere that reflects the brand’s roots while offering a warm and welcoming space for diners.

With Pune added to its footprint, Nando’s now serves its signature flame-grilled chicken across seven major Indian cities, continuing its journey of spreading the love for PERi-PERi flavors.
