Sri Venkat Cool Bar

We are located in Maraimalai Nagar, right near the bus stand. It’s a very busy spot because of all the travelers. People are always coming in thirsty after sitting on a hot bus for hours. We mostly just serve cold drinks and small snacks. The shop is small and simple. We have a few refrigerators that hum all day long. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to scramble to keep things cold. It’s just how it is here. We don't have any big goals other than keeping the fridge stocked. The floor needs sweeping all the time because of the dust from the road. Being near the bus stand means we see new faces every day, but we have some regulars from the neighborhood too. It’s a basic life running a cool bar. We don't use any fancy equipment, just the basics. My family helps out when it gets really busy in the afternoons. We aren't a big chain or anything. Just a local shop trying to earn a living. It gets very hot in the summer, so that is our busiest time. We just keep the bottles lined up and wait for the next bus to pull in. It’s honest work and we like it that way. We don't need much else as long as the customers are happy with a cold drink.
