Complementing the food, there will be an extensive bar selection with a wide array of cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages. The venue will boast lofty ceilings, generous seating, and a spacious stage designed for live performances. Moreover, patrons can enjoy iconic Rolling Stone magazine covers and other delightful surprises as they explore the café & bar.
The Rolling Stone nightclub is set to provide an immersive experience, uniting music enthusiasts and partygoers in the celebration of live music. The club’s doors will open at 11 pm, extending well into the early hours of the morning, and it will offer a selection of top-quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
We’re thrilled to introduce the Rolling Stone Café & Bar and nightclub to the vibrant India Metropolitan market,” said Rohit Malhotra, CEO of JJAKRPL. “The concept isn’t just about food and music; it’s a fusion of culture and entertainment.
