Upon stepping into the vibrant and artistic world of Chelawasi Public House in the heart of Arequipa, I was instantly captivated by the special atmosphere that seamlessly blended tradition and modernity.
The wall paints offer an enthralling panorama that narrates stories on their own, lending a fascinating visual treat to every guest. The artistry does not end with the walls; it extends to the carefully curated pictures adorned around the place, narrating vivid tales and adding layers of depth to the already charming ambiance.
I was pleasantly surprised by the interesting and diverse beer selection. It was a refreshing sight to witness a range that caters to different tastes, from the traditional to experimental ones that cater to the palates of the adventurous. Each beer seemed to carry its own story, encouraging patrons to take a journey through the different flavors, textures, and aromas.
Also, without a doubt, the chicken wings they serve are great.
To sum it up, Chelawasi Public House is not just a dining destination, but a voyage through a rich and vibrant landscape portrayed through its phenomenal wall paints, pictures, and a delectable menu. A visit here promises not just a meal, but an enriching experience for all the senses. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a unique atmosphere coupled with great...
Read moreFirstly, there is good music and a decent selection of beers but the service and organisation are awful. Four of us went for food and drink and we were put on a table in the back next to a toilet. We only got given one menu for four people. They forgot about us so we had to go and ask them to take our order and were told we had to order at the bar which was not mentioned before. As this was a craft beer bar I asked for a beer menu and I was told they did not have one (in my way out the manager later said they did have one). Some are shown on the TV but there are dozens in the fridge . The roof leaks so there was lots of water on the floor and I nearly slipped and broke my leg. The women at the bar were not very friendly and serving people out of order. Bizarrely for a beer bar they do not offer flights/paddles or any different sizes of beer except a large. We decided to leave without buying any beer. Unfortunately a couple of us had already ordered food so took it to go. I would strongly recommend going to nearby Barbarian or Nowhere instead. Service is much better, you can get different sizes of beers and you can see clearly what...
Read moreI found this awesome, AWESOME craft beer pub in my Lonely Planet guide. I was prepared (though positive) to find another place coasting on Lonely Planet reputation but, I have to say, I was absolutely blown away by this venue. I communicated via Facebook about Happy Hour (4-6pm - discounted beers and burgers) and recieved a response within minutes. My girlfriend and I rolled up for happy hour, were spoken to by Casey (the owner of the joint), ordered phenomenal vegetarian burgers (called "The Hippy") and genuine craft beer (by our favourite Peruvian crew - Sierra Andina). The service was awesome (and English-speaking, for those yet to learn Español), the ambiance welcoming - I can't offer sufficient superlatives. Don't miss this place of you're into beer, American (importantly - Oregonian) style burgers, good music and good times. If only I could give...
