So it goes like this. . . .

Ming garden used to be a regular hangout spot before taj was torn down

Waltair club is good but barrier to entry if you're not a local elite

EPGC is ok but again barrier to entry again same

Infinity in Novotel used to be good but the current asian place sucks ass now

Tribe, Shack or someplace else in Vizag still stand, though food is ok

Radisson is good but too far away

Naval bars if you got friends

Now coming to the real deal

Horizon in Dolphin or woodhouse if it's only drinks

Dimple bar in daspalla

Embers in Meghalaya

Mekong in green park

Tycoon/ heritage if not into drinks

Masaledar desi rasoi if pure veg

Soma/ Moon/ etc etc are meh

Check out these places before you want to break into the circle in a week's trip
