In a quiet, tree-canopied courtyard
tucked away behind a commercial block, Prem's is perfect for a lazy, beer-aided lunch
session. Its relaxed ambience attracts droves of loyalists throughout the day, who slouch
around the tables and put away countless pints of draught and imported beers before wolf-
ing down their 'usual' orders. The noisy sizzlers are a hit with everyone, so don't leave
without trying one.

The perfect old-school eating option.
A variety of smoking sizzlers (veg, seafood, beef, chicken), and other assorted Indian fare,
is on offer at this Parsi-owned, family-style eatery. The ambience is 'quaint mess hall', but
the overall experience more than makes up for it.

Drinking & Entertainment
Pune puts a great deal of effort into its nocturnal activities, yet some pubs tend to shut up
shop as quickly as they open, so ask around for the latest hot spots. Most are open from
7pm to around 1.30am.
