ministry of bar exchange

i am writing this review for letting others know that this place has lost its touch. from food todrinksto the music, everything has degraded in quality. i am a frequent visitor here. i used to love this place. but my last visit here was a disaster. my worst experience in clubbing.

drinks- quantity of alcohol in all thedrinkswas very less. they were serving just colddrinksin the name of shots. electric liit was just icy water. a friend of mine didn't feel anything after having 3 liits.

food- food was cold. we ordered 5 snacks. some of the snacks were okay. serving was the worst. had to ask for sauces everytime. due to overcrowding in the main area, waiter directly refused to bring some of the things.

music- music was okay. live singer was crying. dj somewhat saved the night. but dude played some sad songs in between that was killing the mood.

overall, it was a nightmare. watching your favourite place going this low. may be this was not our best day. may be we caught the waiter at one of his bad days. it all added up to such experience.

the worst experience i had with ministry of bar exchange! a person name goldy spoke in a very rude manner with us ! also the most unprofessional behaviour that i would have ever experienced in my entire life ! when me n my husband entered this place , we were told that u deposit 2000 rs. which will include " snacks and drinks" what does that mean in literal sense? like what does it actually mean? that fewdrinksand snacks would be included , right? but to out of surprise , the place was jam packed we couldnt get a table we stood at the bar that to finding a place to stand almost sandwiched in between, in all the hustle bustle we order ourdrinksand food , and later on come to know that the 2000 that we paid were to be basically just like a pre bill that we are paying and then we are ought to spend 2000 coz goldy being that rude said that we will not return a penny , when we were uncomfortable and couldnt stand there! we are not from chandigarh but not experienced something like this anywhere! also, cherry on the top was that we ordered for peri peri chicken pizza ...after waiting for half an hour , they give us the vegetarian pizza which was already lying on the bar table saying that ur non veg pizza will take half hour more.. like one hour for a pizza??? what the hell? im highly dissapointed! my evening is ruined! i need a justified response from #ministryofbarexchange .... what kind of a hospitality business are you doing?

i visited this place with my office colleagues. i must tell u that it’s the worst place to party in chandigarh. thedrinksare bad, food is super bad. not even a single thing is good about this place.. please if u are planning to have a good night... don’t even give a thought to get in this place... the word is pathetic.. i guess they need a new chef. also i ordered a drink, there was a cockroach in the drink... i don’t understand what a kinda service they are providing... i wish they should get a hygiene check first

good place , nice setting but the worst staff. not hospitable at all. it was so sad to be there. dont go here if you want to have a good time with your friends or family especially on weekends. food is average,drinksare overpriced and staff attitude is the worst. you will find better places to party in sector 26.

staff has a serious attitude issue and are not courteous at all. overall bad experience.

nice place, with a variety ofdrinksavailable. music and the ambience is really wonderful and makes for a good night out with friends. lemon chicken is delicious and served perfectly.

one of the finest place in tricity to enjoy live music and sports. but the food isn't worth it. nice ambience and open rooftop to enjoy partying and have fun with your loved ones and friends. grab thedrinksand have fun.

4 stars for great ambiance and superb live performance. had to take one away for awful snacks. dinner was good.

somehow we were never asked for harddrinksand we ended up not having any. lol!

thedrinkswere okay nothing too great about them. but the crowd, live music and the whole ambience makes up for an amazing evening. the space is jam-packed especially the open air seating area so make sure to have reservation.

definitely 4+ stars for this. the ambience is good, post 8:30 there's a band performing every night. you could really save big on yourdrinksbill if you hop in early. as the people start pouring, the prices of thedrinksrise. you need the mobe app for ordering hard drinks.whiskey turns out to be the most economical drink of all.food is really tasty. if you are fond of non veg food this place shall delight you. roasted chicken recommended. avoid ordering lasagne. serving size of the dishes is decent.the waiting time after ordering the food is a little annoying sometimes but the staff is courteous :)

mobe is one of the most happening, popular and loved bars in chandigarh. as the name suggests, it's not particularly a "cafe", but more of a place where you pop tikkas and gulp down beer while vibing to the live music (which i won't deny, sometimes gets annoying because it's extremely loud, keeping in mind the small seating area the place offers. however, once you settle in, you will start vibing to the tracks and have a great evening.
you must try the variety of cocktails and shots they offer. after all, that's it's main attraction. while you're at it, pair up thedrinkswith their exclusive platter which hold a combination of popular dishes, and also the yummy kebabs. the tandoori momos would be a good choice too, by the way.

platter: hat kay platter
other food items: tandoori momos, chicken seekh kebab
drinks: well, lost track but the liit was pretty good🤪

have a good time!

best place to hangout with the friends . food anddrinkswas awesome very professional staff and live band was bonus. i gave them 4* because internet was not working there rest everything was absolutely fine 😍 must visit place.

they denied us entry on a complete illogical base that we did predrinks, we were visting this place from mumbai, and this was our first time experience in chandigarh, however the entry staff was so rude that they dint even allow us to enter the club. if your from mumbai avoid this place

the place is good. i just didn't like the prices ofdrinksgoing up and down like a stock market as the bill we paid was too much. haha
but to be fair...i really enjoyed my evening and had a fewdrinksand food. they even packed for us, of what was left. they had friendly staff and good service. 🤗

a good place for parties and hangout. food is upto the mark. not that good but yes we can say properly cooked with great innovative presentation. but if we talk about drinks. they surely come up with great new idea of bar exchange like a stock market but if you ordered more quantity to save the money or by looking the lower price then definitely i'll say you guys surely face a loss cuz they decline the quantity with more pegs. like if we order 30 ml of 10 pegs. you will get around 8 or 8.5 pegs. i checked this more than thrice. so they have to better take care of this anddrinksis also somewhere lacking in their original taste. and yes if you're looking for weekends parties. it's a overcrowded place on weekends i feel they have to limit the entries upto certain number so that the sitting people won't get discomfort if they are allowing entries for standing.

a great place with great ambience and friendly staff. they follow the concept of exchange with real time rate ofdrinkson display which fluctuates. the pizza and pasta were well cooked
