Let me preface this by saying I'm a seasoned pub-goer. I've seen my fair share of dives, but nothing could have prepared me for the utter disaster that is The Sticky Wicket. From the moment I walked in, it felt like entering a nightmare fueled by stale beer and questionable hygiene.
Ambiance: Imagine a basement that hasn't been cleaned since the invention of disco. Sticky floors (the namesake, perhaps?), dim lighting that wouldn't be enough for a romantic dinner even for cockroaches, and a lingering stench that could knock a vulture off a meat wagon.
Service: The bartender moved slower than molasses in January. A sloth on valium could have served drinks faster. After a 20-minute wait (during which I contemplated spontaneous combustion), I was graced with the presence of a server who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else, possibly spelunking through a sewer system.
Drinks: If you're looking for top-shelf liquor, look elsewhere. The only thing top-shelf about their selection was the dust accumulating on the bottles. My beer tasted suspiciously like watered-down dishwater, and I wouldn't be surprised if the faint bubbles were from some questionable science experiment gone wrong.
Food: I wouldn't feed their "gourmet pub fare" (their words, not mine) to my worst enemy's pet goldfish. The menu was a confusing labyrinth of questionable offerings, and everything seemed to be suspiciously beige. I bravely ordered the "Steak and Ale Pie," which arrived looking like a fossilized cow patty and proceeded to taste about the same.
The Crowd: The clientele seemed like a collection of characters rejected from a B-movie. Loud, obnoxious, and perpetually on the verge of starting a brawl. Not exactly the company you'd want to enjoy a relaxing pint with.
Overall: This place is a complete and utter disaster. The only redeeming quality might be the fact that the experience was so bad it became comical. Do yourself a favor and avoid The Sticky Wicket like the plague. There are far better pubs out there that won't leave you feeling like you need a decontamination shower.
P.S. If the health department hasn't condemned...

Read moreWorst experience ever. Have been to many party places in Bangalore but this one's the worst one ever. Couples, if you ever see BLURRED on your way to Koramangala, just walk right past it ignoring it in every way. They keep the entry pass cheaper than other pubs nearby so as to draw people in, they have no restrictions on stags. Once you walk in, you'll start getting red flags as the kind of creeps you'll come across is just unbearable. We had been to dance stage, where there was literally no place but we decided to go anyways, and the stags just wait for couples/girls and touch them inappropriately. It's filled with such kind of creeps. You can say this can happen anywhere but believe me, the bouncers were creeps too. One of them was making a video/clicking pics of girls who wore revealing dress. They are least interested in protecting us. Food is bland and below average. Drinks are costly to make up for cheaper entry prices. Dj was very mediocre the day we went in. All kind of chapris were allowed to enter without the need to think about safety. Hardly 6-8 couples on the dance floor. It's a place filled with stags. Never go here, for your own good, unless you want the rest of your week to be spoilt by...
