(20 Castle St, Ashoknagar; 12pm-11pm)
Finish your beer. There are sober kids in India', says a
poster adorning this hip pub's industrial interiors. And to aid you in this eminently enjoy-
able task, ?1000 will get you a 3.5L beer tower. There's a whole line of awesome bites
from 14 kinds of burgers to porky platters, with rock and metal tunes on rotation.

(Rest House Rd; 10.30am-11pm)
Hendrix, The Grateful Dead and Frank Zappa posters adorn
the walls of this charmingly shabby, narrow tri-level bar. It's a throwback to simpler times
where cassettes line the shelves behind the bar, sports are on the TV and the only thing to
quench your thirst is one choice of cheap beer on tap. No wonder it's an all-time favourite
with students.
