Kolkata’s infamous nightclub, Roxy

Mention the word party or clubbing and the entire town lights up and says in chorus “Roxy ”. The night club in The Park, Park Street is where all the action is post sunset. This is where students, businessmen, and executives go to unwind after a busy day. Roxy is one of the most stylish and polished night spots in town. It is also easily the most spacious and fun pub to be in. Be it a single guy, couples, or for that matter people of other sexual preferences, all are given the same royal treatment.

While Someplace Else is the rocker's joint, Roxy is the classy hangout. It's the lounge bar and the piece de resistance of the hotel. The decor is very chic and modern. Unpainted raw red brick walls and a high ceiling with exposed solid iron beams running across, it resembles an old factory. All this adds to the feel of the place, which is rugged yet stylish. The wall opposite the bar is lined up with curved reflector plates which lend the place a rather futuristic look. The neon and dim yellow lights in the lounge area keeps the atmosphere warm, while the laser lights pump up the adrenaline on the dance floor.

Looking for something more private? Then head on to the top floor with its comfortable sofas and numerous cushions. Call it a love nest or whatever you want, but it is quite popular amidst young couples.

With drinks flowing freely at the bar, bartenders who put on quite a show for their guests, the place just rocks. Not only regular drinks, but they have quite an impressive selection of wine and single malts. Not too many keep a Highland Park 18 years. Roxy takes special pride in its vodka collection as well: from Smirnoff to Ciroc, they have everything you could possibly think of! A pint of beer will rake up a bill of about Rs 200 – Rs300, while the classic cocktail is a whooping Rs500. Priced a bit steep; they make sure to keep their clientele in check. An interesting way of keeping out the trouble makers!!
