As hvkumar said the ECR is the ideal road to take. Its a toll road. Two laned road in excellent condition. Try to avoid late night travel on that road as it is lonely at times.

Expect heavy traffic between Mahabalipuram and Chennai (distance of approx 40kms). You need to head towards Adyar and then Thiruvanmayur. Just ask anyone for the ECR and they should help you out from there.

There are a lot of joints in Pondicherry. Since its an UT you would get Beer almost everywhere at good prices. I'll let the Pondi guys update you on this. :-)

Chennai eatouts are plenty. For vegetarian there's always Saravana Bhavan in T-Nagar, Mylapore, Pondy Bazaar, Anna nagar etc.

If you like Chettinad, I suggest you head for Karaikudi restaurant in Radhakrishnan Salai in Chennai. This is quite close to Music Academy and is on the road towards Marina Beach (Gandhi Statue). You also have Dhaba and Shogun in the same complex if you are interested in different cuisines.

If you are a non-vegetarian you could also try Anjappar or Ponnusamy. Anjappar is in Nungambakkam, quite close to Anna Flyover.
