Gurgaon’s burgeoning brewery scene might be known for its variety, but certainly not for consistency of brew. One of the newest kids on the block - Quaff is trying to change that opinion by standing out. With some snazzy neighbours around, including the buzzing Social Offline, this casual brewpub offers the choice of a quaint courtyard or unassuming indoor seating. Once inside, you’ll find a large room with staple drinking-related wall posters, hummable music courtesy the resident DJ, festive lighting and shining brewing vats. The waiters are knowledgeable and land up with the tasting platter of in-house signatures almost as soon as you settle in. With a distinct Bavarian influence, the bar offers an IPA, a wheat, a blond ale and a dunkel. Of these, the first two are excellent with the wheat being a must try for its subtle notes of sweet banana and spicy clove, while the Dunkel – a rare find - will go down well with dark beer lovers. There’s also a bunch of staple spirits along with interesting concoctions like the Lemon Song - fig infused vodka, basil, lemon and honey - you can drown out the outside world with. While you enjoy your glass of something chilled and preferably frothy, order quick munchies like Herbed French Fries or Prawn Crackers with Creamy Sambal Dip. Everything is generously portioned and all the bar eats are deliciously good, so pick what you please. This is the one to watch out for amongst a sea of copycats!
