Best bar to have fun. This bar is nostalgic and has an old vibe. I had sterling reserve B7 60 ml 2 pegs, a chili chicken plate, a packet of nut. The chili chicken was not so good, and the price is little high for me. But the drinks price just quiet low than other bars. The interior is old fashioned. But the main catchy thing is: not like other bars, you have to pay at every order. Means if you order any drink you have to pay then they will serve. I HAD THE FAMOUS COTTON SODA THERE🤪. but overall experience is good, I liked it and highly recommend to have old vide feeling and calm environment to enjoy.

Here’s a casual, one-paragraph Google review you can use: Shaw Brothers is one of those old Kolkata bars that hasn’t tried to change with time and that’s actually its charm. If you’re looking for a no-frills place to grab affordable drinks with friends after work, this is perfect. The vibe is simple and very local, service is straightforward, and you pay first before getting your drinks. Don’t expect fancy interiors or gourmet food, but for a relaxed, budget-friendly evening with a bit of old-school character, it definitely does the job.
