BHPian starts a Motorcycle-themed cafe in Pune!

Fantasy · 20th September 2010, 13:47

just out of curiosity, what's on the menu?

Indraneel Bhat · 20th September 2010, 15:30

Hy Nikhil,

FINALLY!!!! Someone does something different...Congrats on your venture... It's walking distance from my brother's house (he lives in Devi Deep Society). So you've opened this practically next door. BTW...any discounts for BHPians???

From one Nikhil to another, Congrats for following your dream and putting yourself into something you love the most... Biking. Kudos for setting up a place for biking community. Now, I can say India is heading the US way in terms of building a place for Biking Community. "All Bikers Unite" is the motto. Only a NUT HEAD can understand other NUT HEAD speak and for all others, it sounds gibberish. This is the place for those NUT HEAD TALKS

I had the good fortune of visiting this place in May. The loft upstairs is amazing to say the least. Low height and very comfy sofas along with that monster poster/collage of motoGP riders. The best place to watch MotoGP. Period

this place looks good in the pics.

i dont visit pune too often, so not too familiar with the names of streets etc, can anyone put up a map of directions to this place? starting from where the mumbai-pune expressway ends.

would be great

Nikhil, Congrats on the initiative! Hope your venture prospers! I dont see your Lb500 in front of the cafe.

How About adding a statue of the STIG.. !

Have been to this place during football world cup. It was fun watching Germany-England match among soccer fans as well as visiting xbhp members.

@ amoghchaphalkar & niks_devil666: You two share birthday, so can we meet at moto cafe on that day?

hollywoodhogan · 3rd October 2010, 17:57

nikhil, congrats man. i sincerely wish you all the best and wish that this venture is a great success. cheers!

and i have a feedback too which i please request to accept as constructive criticism. A wheel, a few toys and posters is no where enough to give it a motorcycle theme. the place is done up very well for sure but cant find a strong enough theme buddy. get a bit more adventurous and put up more of biking stuff. right now the moto stuff very very sparse man and scattered. well worn leather jackets, vintage riding gear, bike manufacturer flags and standees etc would brighten up the place.

good luck!

Hey this is nice! Am moving to that area within the next year. Will be sure to catch up then.

BTW there is a Bullet Biker's Den that serves awesome egg rolls and chicken burgers very close by. Is the owner of that a TBHPian too?
