Where can you see the World Cup in Ahmedabad?

Ahmedabad: Though there is a lot of Cricket following in the city there are still a handful of soccer fans scattered all over Ahmedabad who would love to gather up and watch the world’s biggest sporting event. Here, I have made a list of the best places in Ahmedabad where you can watch the beautiful game.

The Veni Vichi Restaurant (Sardar Patel Ring Road)

Out of the city, open air, garden restaurant and a special arrangement for the FIFA World Cup: what else does an ‘Amdavadi’ soccer fan need more than that? With a standard multi-cuisine menu and pleasant atmosphere, driving out of the city is an ideal way for you to enjoy the event. Special arrangements for the World Cup include a large screen and fascinating mocktails. Make sure you book your garden table well-in-advance to enjoy the world’s biggest sporting event in Ahmedabad.

The Ozone Hookah Lounge (S.G. Highway)

Word around is that they serve the best Hookah in Ahmedabad with all genres of music being played regularly including hip-hop, trance, techno and more. A famous theme-based hang out for youngsters which brings out a moderate bill for more than its worth of fun, this is the place you want to be at if you love your music as much as watching Rooney bang one in.

Tc’s Lounge (Ellis Bridge)

Popular with college students and young executives because of its moderate pricing, TC’s is an ideal place to gather up and watch the world cup on a large screen TV as you sip your milkshake or enjoy your Sheesha with some of your friends. A large variety of eatables ranging from Indian to Mexican (China and Italy come in between) makes it a perfectly hippy place to hang out at.

Detour Café (Vastrapur)

One of the newest café’s in Ahmedabad, Detour is a good place to catch up with friends and the creative art interiors can really amaze you. With large LCD’s for viewing the matches, Detour also provides its customers with a Wi-Fi service. A small cover-charge is to be paid to enter the café which can be reimbursed to buy food or goodies inside. Be it the world cup or just some good old internet surfing, Detour is one of the best places in Ahmedabad for you to unwind and relax.

The Chocolate Room (Navrangpura)

Go here with your family or go here with your friends. The Chocolate Room has come out with a unique chocolate-theme-based culture in Ahmedabad. One of the very few places in Ahmedabad to serve alcohol, The Chocolate Room is a certain hit from those coming from outside the state. One can play scrabble or Chess while having their milk-flavored Chocolate Melting pot or can even lie down on the couch while watching Messi put one through past Cesar. In all, The Chocolate Room is an ideal place where you can sit for hours and hours and enjoy your game.
