I think I have found my comfort zone in sports bars. Being an outdoor person, I love the raw energy of a sports bar compared to that of a regular pub. I have been checking out quite a lot of sports bars recently, and the latest to join the list is Toss Sports Lounge.
Located in Mundhwa, Toss Sports Lounge does seem a little out of the way. And the traffic in Pune isn’t exactly under control, especially during office hours. So while we were supposed to reach for a bloggers meet at 2030hrs, we arrived fashionably late by a little past 9. What happened at the meet…well, I hope these pictures serve as justification-
That’s a shuttlecock used as a lamp. I’d totally want this at my desk when I get my own placeAbsolutely LOVED the sports-inspired interiorsManfarid was playing that night….I was super excited when I realised they sang the theme song for Ruggedian (the obstacle race that I had taken part in) Small world and amazing coincidences, no? Psst ladies, the manager is a total hottie. The Mediterranean Mezze Platter- the dips are kickass! I never thought I’d go back for the second piece of pita bread.Sensational Caesar- once again, I was extremely surprised. I loved the grilled chicken pieces, and they didn’t add too much mayo. I could totally have this as a meal if and when I decide to eat healthy. Chicken Nuggets- this was a little disappointing. Mainly because the nuggets were chicken cutlets fried in TOO MUCH OIL! I understand there is a need to deep-fry the nuggets, but I suggest they remove the oil before serving the dish. Totally Tabbouleh- this Lebanese salad was once again pretty surprising. It looked green and bland, turned out to be tangy and flavorful. Reminded me of chaat a little bit 😀 I guess due to the mint leaves. Good stuff, you could give this a try. Well, no one can ever go wrong with pizza. We ate 2 slices each 🙂 These mini chicken and cheese burgers were pretty rad- I’d order them with some coke (haha, you can opt for beer too) The grilled chicken stays soft even after cooling down. So yeah, good stuff. Grilled cheese and chipotle sandwich- the flavour of the cheese was a little overpowering.Tiramisu- I was initially turned off when I saw the presentation. I expected cake, I was given mousse. One bite and MIND.WAS.BLOWN. The coffee and chocolate and biscuit is absolutely divine. Shouldn’t have agreed to share it >.<
Highlights-
1. The Tiramisu
2. The decor
3. The band geeks – oh come on, it’s fun making new friends.
4. The service
Suggestions-
1. The food is too oily guys! Get rid of the oil before presentation!
