Someplace Else Kolkata Park Street - Kolkata    Share

Located at 17, Park St, Taltala, Kolkata, West Bengal 700016, Someplace Else is where Hip Pocket (the city’s best known rock band) has been playing since the summer of '97. The Park Hotel’s legendary pub is dubbed as the Mecca of live music in the city – since its inception in 1994, some of the country’s best known bands such as Parikrama and Indian Ocean have performed here. People come here to listen to live music and drink. The pocket-conscious do the drinking at Oly Pub next door, and hop over to Someplace Else for the music. The interiors done with wooden panels are reminiscent of typical English pubs. The food menu is short but crisp, largely comprising quick bites such as mini parmesan stuffed kulchas and cheese toasties served with a chilli garlic dip, to go with the beer and cocktails. Smokers need not miss out on the action inside, there is a smoking room behind the bar.

It's a functional bar of sorts, you can say. There's very limited seating, probably due to the price tag for each item on the menu. However, the items served are of excellent quality. I will give them that. Add to that the live performances, it just makes the ambience that much better. The interiors are all reminiscent of a classic bar and attracts a very niche crowd. The staff needs to keep an eye on their customers since I had to literally leave my table and find the waiters more than a couple of times to either order for something or ask for something. They literally disappeared after the first order and never came back. Other than that it was a good experience.

Small place yet cozy. It has a nice smoking area. The downside is that the music can get loud sometimes and the lighting may not be for everyone. But definitely recommended for young people and those looking for a good balance between atmosphere, food, drinks, and cost. Would not recommend for really large groups though. Try going on live music nights for a treat

Awesome place for live music lover. Would like to visit again and again

If you want to spend quality time in a pub then Someplace Else is good. Not too crowded like other places. Price is ok not too high or too low. Also live performances will give you immense pleasure. Staffs are very well behaved. And the decoration and ambience is very good.
