On a Saturday night we were the 'priveliged' ones to enter Valhalla since we were on the guest list. I think many paid about 1500 cover to get in.
We got in at midnight and the place was getting filled. Pretty sizeable place, large bar and didnt have any trouble ordering drinks. The guy across the bar was pretty polite and got my drinks in decent time. I ordered tons of the drinks for the group - from Mojitos to Martinis but there was one common thing about all of them was the amount of alcohol in it. The martini glass wasnt even filled up to the apt level.
This is obviously not a first time to a club and im aware about the 500 rs drinks and im ok paying for that - but all i expect in return is legitamcy in pouring for what i am paying for? That wasnt the case. I could have outrightly proved that 4 of the 5 drinks we ordered hardly had any alcohol in it.
One of the waiters was nice enough to take it back with him and make it correct. But that occurence shouldnt have happened in the first place.
Anyways, one big advise to all who would like to visit this place - rather than buying inidividual drinks - if you are more than 6-7 people - go for a bottle. An Absolut bottle costs about 8k and im sure you will get lot more alcohol in that versus paying same or more amount of money in buying single drinks and getting cheated.
Other than that, my issue was that in areas away from the AC, it was extremely hot. Wasnt a v pleasant feeling but i must say the music was fantastic and that would be the only brownie point for that night.

At first, I would like to thank you for taking the time to review Valhalla.
As an outlet, we pride ourselves on our integrity and guest service. The previous reviews are an affirmation of the same.
Needless to say, I have taken up the above mentioned issue extremely seriously with our bar and wait staff and have implemented certain measures to ensure this is not repeated. The ACs have also been serviced promptly following your feedback, however, I must say, that this past Saturday we got rather overcrowded which may have contributed to the issue with the AC.
I would request you to kindly call us on the listed number and ask for me, I will be delighted to discuss the same with you at length should you so please.
We once again thank you for your feedback and your continued patronage.
Warm Regards,
Rahul Kanuga.

As previously stated, I feel Valhalla is a great place as far as the crowd, place, and the music is concerned. I knew the AC issue was a one-off thing so that wasnt really the spoiler but if the drinks could be made right, I would love to visit Valhalla again and not worry about paying even a 100 buck extra for it. .
Thanks again.
