if you are looking for a place to unwind after a hectic day at work or just looking out to chill and hang out with your friends look no further than nico coffeehouse and bar at novotel, omr. the coffee house also doubles up as a bar and when we visited they had a live band belting out some soulful numbers which can set the tone for a long night.
opened on 1st february 2019, they serve cool mock-tails and cocktails. beer in pitchers is passe, they serve beer as pints or in bucket and liquor like vodka, whiskey, brandy etc in measures as well as in cool hip flasks and also by the bottle at very reasonable prices. they also have a good selection of imported and indian made liquor to choose from. the bar tenders also can whip up some fancy cocktails.
i had the cosmopolitan and followed up with tequila and passion fruit shots which was quite pleasing to my palate. the bar tenders also put up quite a show with their specialty flaming shots with kahlua, bailey's irish cream and brandy on top which you can try just for the heck of it.
they also have a delectable array of finger food to go with the liquor like lamb slider, mini dosas filled with curried shrimps, toasted pita triangles with hummus mousse which was quite delightful to eat, squid and fish tempura etc
