I don't know what so much fuss is all about. Yet another brewery feather in the cap of gurgaon. But this one is quite the disaster. I went to clock tower on a Saturday night and well it seemed we were not welcome there
Firstly I wanted to be seated on the first floor and the waiter told us there were no tables vacant there. I insisted I would like to see for myself. I realized there were a lot of free tables and because the floor was only occupied by expats may be the restaurant thought we were the odd ones out and wanted us to sit on the ground floor.
So since I was not in the mood to argue we sat on the ground floor. This is the first brewery where I realized they don't have rights of admission reserved. I realized families were visiting with small kids and the place got really noisy despite the loud music. That's the distraction you don't want when you are looking to de - stress over a couple of drinks.
The ambiance is nice like an old Irish or an English pub. Very retro , very Countryside English, decent music, decent service , quite the courteous staff but they fail to deliver on 2 important aspects - Food and beer. I tasted the wheat beer which was flatish without a proper beer fizz. So I stuck to ordering a cosmopolitan which to my shock was served in a brandy balloon. Well who serves a cocktail in a brandy balloon?
My cosmopolitan was bad. Plain bad... I couldn't taste a drop of cranberry juice in it. Thankfully the courteous server came to my rescue and offered to change my drink. The second one was much better if not perfect. We ordered jalapeno corn poppers and loaded cheese nachos.
I know restaurants are into cost cutting now a days and this place proved just that because we realised they had added green chilli instead of jalapeno in the poppers. Disgraceful! The loaded nachos were ok. With the sad experience of the appetizers I told my husband let's just try one item in the mains and then decide. Tha paneer tikka roll was above average so we decided to leave it at that & not order anymore.
Clock tower - One place I won't recommend. Try it at your own risk
