* DJ Station

Due to its fame, the club gets crowded easily. You would want to reach here really early not to face disappointment. Contrastingly, for the club's popularity, the prices are pretty reasonable.

* Telephone Pub

Such is the ambience of Telephone Pub as it takes you on a trip back to the early 2000's. To top this off, they also have great multicuisine food and a wide selection of drinks to choose from.
