I recently had the chance to visit Someplace Else, a legendary pub located on Park Street, Kolkata's iconic entertainment hub. This place has been a staple of the city's nightlife for decades, and I was excited to see what all the fuss was about.
As soon as I walked in, I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is eclectic and retro-chic, with vintage posters, dim lighting, and cozy corners. It's the perfect setting for a relaxed evening out with friends or a date.
The music selection is outstanding, with a playlist that seamlessly blends classic rock, jazz, and blues. The live performances, which range from local bands to solo artists, are always top-notch and add to the energetic vibe.
The food and drinks menu is equally impressive, with a range of pub favorites, including burgers, sandwiches, and snacks. The cocktails are creative and well-crafted, and the beer selection is impressive.
The service is friendly and attentive, with the staff going out of their way to ensure that you have a great time.
If I have any criticisms, it's that the place can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. However, this is a small price to pay for the lively atmosphere and great music.
Overall, Someplace Else is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves live music, good food, and a great atmosphere. It's a Kolkata institution, and for good reason.

Read moreThe park always stuns me with its celebratory mood. Right from when I enter through the narrow door of the street, where one or two bouncers stand and interact casually. Be it that musical pub someplace else or any banquet buffet , I have always been overwhelmed by their friendly attitude. Despite being a star hotel, its warm intimacy greatly helps customers like me ,my curiosity and my appetite and thus it has been possible for me to explore the place little bit.
Someplace Else is a night pub on the ground floor in the park hotel. Live band with beers or cocktails is extremely enjoyable at dinner time or even at 1 am. Irresistible for college goers and the people of young generation. There is a separate smoking chamber inside the pub which is always full of those who love being nocturnal. It is an ideal chamber for taking a short break from loud music and to meet some stranger where people from different places around the country can be traced. The allure of this night would be further enhanced if one could visit the pool side with a beer bottle in hand for half an hour. I have been at this pub quite a few times. First few experiences will take someone to just...
Read moreThe place is run by money thirsty bribers. They come and introduce themselves prior to key-events as if they are welcoming his majesty only to later run away and send their 3rd class waiters to fight like invadering flees. And worst of all - they misbehave the most with the guests of the artists and performers. One beer costs 800 for their misbehaving service. Also snacks take about 45-60mins to arrive and then they’ll be cold and wet. They’ll force you to pay for things you never ordered and they’ll call it as - “You cancelled this but we had already made it”. Worst of all - you enter 1hr prior to happy hours, they’ll make you wait for 2hrs to serve you your alcohol orders and ensure you pay up 5 times the actual MRP (forget happy hour pricing).
They have become over popular owing to their timelessness but they have started feeling they are insurmountable. So if you want to enjoy some music and waste liquid cash, black money and other stuff please go. But if you want to enjoy quality time, good service, good music and a feel of nostalgia — Calcutta has literally, some place else and not...
