Zouk Club and Kitchen

My Honest ReviewI’ve visited many spots in Pondicherry, and while this place is often hyped, my experience was disappointing. It might be slightly better than Cozy in some ways, but there are a few key things you should know before going.First, the entry fee is ₹1400 per person, and you get a coupon worth the same amount. That sounds reasonable at first, but when you actually use the coupon, the value doesn't stretch far. For example, a Tuborg Strong beer that costs ₹123 elsewhere in Pondy is charged at ₹300 here. I understand paying more for ambience and the pub vibe, but this pricing feels excessive.With a ₹700 coupon, you typically get just two beers or equivalent drinks. While they claim a ₹100 waiver, if your bill exceeds the coupon amount, you still end up paying the full extra amount—including the so-called waiver. It's confusing and feels like a gimmick.Also, be aware that Pondy is slowly becoming like Goa—with its own set of "scams" and overpriced nightlife spots. The only major advantage here is that this pub stays open until 2 AM on weekends.The place was overcrowded, the staff was rude, and service felt chaotic. At times, we felt like we were begging to be served. This is definitely not a place for couples looking for a relaxed evening. It’s more suited for groups of bachelors who want to drink and hang out in a loud, crowded setting.On the positive side, the food was surprisingly good. The stuffed pizza was excellent, and the brownie with ice cream was a great dessert.Final Verdict: A decent place for groups who care more about drinking than service. Overpriced drinks, chaotic atmosphere, and poor hospitality. Good food is the only saving grace. Visit with the right expectations—or skip if you’re looking for a pleasant or couple-friendly experience.

The place is over hyped. The food tasted very bad. Our group ordered different items but nothing tasted good. The only thing that felt edible was the chicken sizzler. The ambience is fine. The bar is good. It is extremely overpriced, and compared to the ultra tangy and tasteless food, it wasn't worth it.
