Pearls of “Wazzzup” dom
Pecos, off Brigade Road, is one helluva place. It is a very “Beer n Smokes”, basically college kids kinda joint. But the main attraction isn’t the cheap booze, the succulent bites-to-eat or the laid back feeling. It’s the music. It’s one of the few places in Bangalore that have remained loyal to good ol’ Retro/Classic Rock. The posters inside are a proof of that. As soon as you enter and the smoke clears your path, you see the one declaring a 1990 Europe tour by the Grateful Dead. If you sit downstairs you’ll be treated to a little loud, though excellent music. Not to mention being surrounded by these posters:
- Jerry Garcia’s mugshot followed by “Probably the only pub that would feel honored if you call it a “Dead” place.”
- Bob Marley’s pic smoking a cigar with “Mostly we play music by the Dead … and sometimes the immortal”
- Frank Zappa sitting on the dumpster saying “Frank Zappa said ‘There is no hell…there’s only Paris’ But then Zappa never went to pubs that played trance”
- Clapton belting out a lick under “What’s Beer without a little Cream?”
- One cheekily says “Upstairs to the loo, down for the cigarettes. No wonder our patrons are so fit.”
The second level is something else, with murals of Elvis, Garcia, Marley, Van Morrison and other greats. The ceiling has a large abstract outliney sketch of The Beatles in their cardigans. The walls are again full of posters ranging from The Rollingstones to The Allman Brothers Band to Led Zeppelin.
A definite must-visit for every Beer & Retro Rock lover.
