Review on Haze
" Super Bluee Bar "
Haze is a tiny little lounge in the PVR Priya complex,
and USP is a cool jazz/blues theme. There are pictures of jazz
greats on the staircase as you go up, and the DJ plays classic blues songs.
The place has a nice, cool vibe. The staff also seem to know their music! Definitely
worth checking out if you’re into jazz or blues. Expect to pay about Rs 100
for a pint of domestic beer, and Rs. 120-150 for a small shot of domestic liquor.
the happy hours are from 3.30 pm to 7 pm, and it’s a 50% discount scheme, which
basically works out to the same as a 1+1 scheme.
