NIPR Bar in Pune is a great place to hang out with friends and family. It has a unique concept of having three sections, each playing music from different eras - 90s Bollywood, 60s/70s Bollywood, and Ghazal. The ambience is pleasant and the staff is courteous. The food menu is extensive and includes delicious starters, main course, and desserts. The cocktails and mocktails are also quite good. They also have a great selection of craft beer. The pricing is also reasonable.
There's something for everyone here - whether you're looking for a place to have a few drinks and sing along to your favorite 90s songs, or simply looking for a great place to have a hearty meal. NIPR is definitely worth checking out!
So, my girlfriend took me to NIPR. Me - forever on a quest to find sasta-sundar bars with cheap beer, free chakna, and music that gets louder and messier as the night goes on.And my God, NIPR delivered. Located in Kothrud, dangerously close to Barometer (our usual adda), this gem had me questioning my life choices. How had we never been here before? But hey, better late than never.The vibe? Killer. Dim lighting, Irani cafe style tables with checkered cloth under glass, and mirrors in the ceiling corners so you can admire yourself mid beer swig.And the music? Don’t even get me started. “Sundara Sundara” and “Mumbhai” is just the warm-up. This place knows what’s up. The playlist is so perfectly ghati that even Salim naai and Suraj truck driver would be proud. Even the menu screams nostalgia. The coasters? They look like those cardboard tickets from a mela’s fortune-telling machine. Ambience = nailed. Even the restrooms have attitude.Now for the free chakna: excellently roasted peanuts and fryums. For a Mumbaikar millennial, that’s basically an emotional reunion. Somewhere, a tear rolled down my cheek.Food-wise, they know their game: peanut chaat, chakli, schezwan chutney, and cheese garlic naan (listed in the chakna section). Cooked to perfection, giving me those Ambience, Lower Parel feels. The kebabs? Charred and overcooked, just the way we secretly like them. Service? Swift, friendly, and non-judgy.As I graduated from KF Premium (because Ultra is for posers) to Old Monk and Coke, I slipped deeper into my happy place, regaling my girlfriend with stories of the good ol’ days back home in Mumbai and the countless nights that ended with a midnight special greasy pav bhaji. With every sip, the nostalgia got louder, and for a brief moment, it felt like I was right back there.Walked out happy, tipsy, and humming “Tan Tana Tan Tan Tan Tara.” Will I be back? Sawaal, bro!
Visited NIPR Bar in Kothrud recently, and while the ambiance and vibes were top-notch, the table management left a lot to be desired. Despite requesting multiple times to shift to an open area or downstairs, we were stuck in the AC area. What's frustrating is that there were vacant tables (for 6 and 4) throughout our visit, but the staff didn't offer to shift us. It seemed like they were more focused on the booking rather than ensuring customer satisfaction. On the brighter side, the food (Ghee Roast Chicken, Crispy Chicken, Laddhani Paneer Tikka, and Harabara Kebab) had room for improvement, but the overall atmosphere and music were fantastic. With a bit of tweaking in table management and food quality, this place could be a real winner. Will definitely visit again to see if they've made any improvements.
