Espresso Bar - Bar In Dharamshala — Restaurant in Himachal Pradesh

Sitting, decor, view from table etc.:

This is 3 floor restaurant with second and third as bar and restaurant, third floor has one side with road view and other has good view of mountain and small river for only two tables with open window ventilation, all other tables either have blocked ventilation/view and may or may not have over head fan for far corner tables which also has blocked window and I have seen people shifting more often from such tables, Sitting chair is of wood and most ordinary. Decor is nothing much to talk about.

Food test quality, Food portion, Prices and Services, Cleanliness: Very pricey/Costly food (5 star rates) for very ordinary setup. Food portion is also very medium, Chilly chicken Rs.550, Tandoori Chicken (Half - 4-5 Pcs) Rs.250/-, Paneer Tikka Rs.350/-, Budwiser beer (Light) Rs.340/-, Kingfisher Light (Beer), Rs.270/- only few snacks like veg burger, simple pizza, fries are little less costly.

Went twice there with my wife, food test is just ok nothing special to mention just for the view we went again.

Cleanliness is the big issue, possible because of lack of staff, only one and same person(Mahendra) cleaning tables, services order, makes food (some snacks) etc he tries his best but... We found place to be little dirty and strewn with used tissue papers, cigarette buds, food parts etc. One common Toilet for ladies and gents gets dirtier as more and more people use till late evening and not cleaned regularly.

Type of crowd: 3rd floor Crowd is usually young people just to chill, pass time, smoke, drink one or two shakes, have quick bit like chips, Maggie etc and talk loud, very less/few family or couple kind of people for proper meal.

In conclusion: Very ordinary setup at costly price for the quality of food, decor, sitting comforts and...

Amazing place for localites like me to hang out with friends. The food is alright(not much options for vegetarians) but the look'n'feel and the view outside is remarkably amazing. The servers here are pretty chill. The thing i really dislike here is that the restrooms are not well maintained and sometimes don't even have a liquid soap. Also, despite having so much visiting people and earning, they don't spend on maintaining the chairs and seating on the top floor. Really love this place but hope this would be maintained more often.

Update - Well i went there with my family, who are completely vegetarian like me and btw we totally understand what happens in the kitchen of a veg/nonveg place, but height of negligence is when you order a veg kaathi roll by repeatedly emphasizing it twice and then asking it again when they served it, but those idiots served chicken kaathi roll. My family members were looking angrily at me as i took'em here. I felt sick and had to vomit it all out. I've spent quite a lot of money here. Never liked the food, I only went for the view and drinks. This was height of everything. I'm never...

I actually go to this place again and again whenever I come to dharamshala.espresso bar has a bar,a cafe and a third floor from which you can enjoy the view of the dhauladhar range. They have recently changed the furniture,menu,etc.the new furniture is beautiful.they have also changed the menu by making it into a catchy and modern style paper format.they also have a swimming and a splash pool. Because of the increasing crowd , the owners have decided to add more changing rooms so that hoarding is prevented and the cleanliness of the area is maintained. Clean, hygienic tasty food , epic views of the dhauladhar , a bar which continusely changes it's interior and menu, and a clean swimming pool. What more could you ask for? That's why this is my favorite place to go to...
