Lord of the drinks barrel house Sector 29 Gurgaon

Sector 29 Main Market in Gurgaon is witnessing a flurry of activity with plenty of top notch brands opening shop here.


Recently I went to Lord of the Drinks - Barrel House which has opened up shutters at the same building where Fork You Too ran shop. The first thing you notice when you enter is how huge and spacious this place is. The interiors have this wide and grand vibe to it. I simply loved how they have used skull designs in decor and crockery. The plates in their bright colors look so good and pleasant amidst a warm decor. 


This place is a great place for you if you like your drinks. They have two levels and a bar in both of them. A huge bar with a wide range of liquor options including a micro brewery which I think will start very soon. 




In terms of service, the eatery has a huge staff even going by the space they have, it seems they have been generous enough to hire so many bartenders and service staff. This ensures that the service is quick and prompt and someone is always around to refill your glass.


Drinks

Going by the name of the place, you can already guess that this going to be the place get your favorite drink. They have an extensive range of custom cocktails, loads of variety of wine and traditional drinks. I tried the Sangria in its various forms and would definitely recommend it to all. 












The competition is really heating up at Sector 29. Just opposite LOD is the My Bar and next door neighbor is going to be the Ministry of Beer.  I recently visited Agent Jack's and it was doing a brisk business too. LOD has the advantage of the strong brand presence in Delhi NCR with regular patrons across the region. A friend who has been to almost all their centers, informed me that the HKV (LOD meadows) is amongst the best of the lot and is quite busy always.
The Food

The food here is pretty good especially if you are looking for the standard Indian or Italian fare. The traditional Indian tikkas and fried stuff come fresh and well prepared.

I tried the fish fry and the chicken tikkas and they were yum. The chicken pastas were prepared to perfection. The butter chicken slider was okayish, not as good as the rest of the menu. The Nachos were excellent companions to my whiskey.

People around me were enjoying pizzas which looked appetizing though I didn't taste it, but the pizzas looked fantastic as well. (I had my focus squarely on the upcoming desserts, which were awesome).

In desserts, I had the chocolate brownie and Chocolate Terrine both of them lush with chocolate and divine pleasure.























Must Try - The Pasta and the Nachos


Nearest Metro Station - Huda City Centre,
Nearest landmark - Bikanerwala is an old institution at Sector 29 Market. LOD is right next to it.

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
