Durbar

Café. Music. Lounge

- Dali Khanal

Relatively a new outlet in Lakeside, Pokhara, Durbar opened in December last year is doing fantastic in terms of crowd and popularity. The major reason for getting popular in such short span of time is their availability of space for every kind of customer and the menu palatable for every taste bud. Started by young entrepreneurs, Durbar Pokhara is the franchise of Durbar Kathmandu having a lavish décor and the seating capacity is of 220 covers. These 220 covers are spread in two floors in different sections, from comfy couches to outdoor seating, lounge to bar, dance floor to live music sections. The floor downstairs, i.e, the first floor has different options if we talk about the seating arrangements and décor. As soon as you climb the stairs to first floor, you are greeted with a big statue of Buddha calming all your senses. And there are three sections, overlooking the street lies a comfy lounge area perfect for lazy lunches or a friends’ gathering or even a casual dinner. Just in front of the lounge area, lays the stairs to second floor and a coffee bar serving you varieties of coffees. If you are not a coffee person or not ion mood to have coffee the time you visit this place, then there you find a nice bar on the left hand side of coffee bar. They have good selection of international as well as domestic liquors, liqueurs and wines. And if you are more of a live music lover or a carefree dancer, then just enter a door just in between these two bars and you’ll land up on the dance floor. This room has some rustic seating but is more focused on dancing crowd and so most of the space is left empty.
