The Bottle Lounge

We are located in Kolhapur, specifically over by the Shivaji University area. You can find us right at the Shanti Niketan stop, which is just beside the Technology College. Being so close to the college means we get a lot of students and younger folks coming through. We started The Bottle Lounge because there wasn't really a place nearby where people could just sit and relax between classes or after a long day of work. The place is decorated with a lot of stuff we found over the years, giving it a bit of a cluttered but cozy feel. It’s not a fancy lounge with velvet ropes or anything. It's more of a local hangout. We have some outdoor seating which is nice when the weather in Kolhapur isn't too hot. The noise from the road can be a bit much sometimes, but you get used to it. Our staff is mostly local kids who are working while they study. We aren't trying to win any awards for design; we just wanted a functional space. People usually come in for a drink and to talk, and that's exactly what we provide. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but it's honest. If you are near the University or stopping at the Shanti Niketan bus stop, you’ll see our door right there. We are just a small part of the neighborhood here in Kolhapur. Nothing more.
