With the ICC Cricket World Cup upon us, all of us are pumped up to watch the matches, be it with our friends or family! And cricket lovers are planning to watch them on big screens. Then imagine, you’re sitting with your dad in a restaurant watching India vs Pakistan on Father’s Day, both of you enjoying the match along with the food & the drinks and cheering for your country along with others in that place which makes the atmosphere there all the more exhilarating. Won’t this experience be an unforgettable one?
So, we at Jaipur Beat compiled a few places around the Pink City where the ICC Cricket World Cup matches are screened along with them presenting offers on their food & drinks.
The Forresta Kitchen & Bar
The restaurant with the first open bar in the city, it stands up to its legacy by offering various offers on their different alcoholic drinks which include almost all the drinks that it offers at the bar.
The Night Jar presents different offers on alcoholic drinks on different matches. So do check/confirm from them the offer that’s offered on the day you’re deciding to visit them.
This vegetarian restaurant offers a Mojito free during selective matches. So do contact them before dropping down at their restaurant for confirming whether they have the offer on or not.
Although this Pub offers discounts and offers regularly, the offers that they provide on selective matches are not to be missed! Do contact them before dropping down there as the offer might not be what you were expecting it to be.
The big deal of the city also provides attractive offers during match hours along with live screening of the Cricket World Cup matches. Have a good time along with enjoying the matches and good drinks!
This global brand that started from Australia has come a long way to India where it has 3 outlets out of which one is in our very own city! So, what are you waiting for, visit this Australian Bistro Restaurant?
These hefty offers are not to be missed at the Wall street Conversation Resto Bar. These different offers on drinks are so attractive that you might just miss out on them if you don’t hurry up!
The world cup offer that would go on for the time until the Cricket World Cup ends! This restaurant that operates on a nocturnal as well as a diurnal schedule, and hence is opened all day long for 24 hrs, is the place that’d be open whenever you wish to visit it!
The lounge in one of the 5 stars of the city, Lounge18, is also one of the few places offering great deals & packages on food & drinks. Watch the matches under a sophisticated setting and have a great time!
The final place in our list is a cafe & bar in the city which is styled in a rustic & greenhouse manner. Chill with your friends there while watching the match and enjoying the drinks.
Jaipur experience all the season in their extremes. With the temperature being 46 degrees Celsius the heat is unbearable. But we, Jaipurites know how to enjoy the best of both worlds, no matter how extreme it gets. Summers in Jaipur is the warmest times usually extending from April till July. But summer is also that time of the year when we can socialize, unwind and relax cause summertime is vacation time. Most of the schools are on break and colleges are mostly inactive. Therefore, as soon as summer approaches we all start making plans for the vacations, deciding the next spot we want to visit, relishing over all things cool or having a water gun fight with your pals. Ah, summer is fun. But we all know Jaipur can get all heated up during summers and if you staying in the city like us then Jaipur Beat will help you beat this heat with these cool escapes.
1. Pool Parties
A pool party is always a good idea in summers, the best place to chill around with your family and friends. Splashing water all over the place and dancing to your favourite beats. Pink City has quite a few options for all the party-loving Jaipurites.
2. World Trade Park a.k.a my second home
Experiencing an electricity cut, worry not. “World Trade Park hai na yarr…” you can go there chill or hang out with your squad, have food at the court and enjoy the window shopping in the air-conditioned malls for as long as you want.
3. Water Park
Water Parks are an entertaining place to enjoy your break with your family and friends, you can have fun on exciting rides and slides. Pink Pearl is one the most popular water park in Jaipur and even has India’s first water Disco, though in recent times more water parks have come up in the Pink City which means more fun, you can spend your weekends with your family and friends at a water park and relax.
4. Hawa Mahal
OK! So this is one of my favourites from my childhood. Jaipur is known for its heritage all over the world. Thousands of people visit it around the year. Hawa Mahal is the spot you cannot afford to miss be you’re a tourist or a localite. Here’s why, Hawa Mahal’s architectural feature allows cool air from the Venturi effect to pass through, thus making the whole area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer.
5. Jal Mahal
Talking about heritage with cool escapes, you cannot skip the list without Jal Mahal. Walking past the ‘Paal’ of Jal Mahal is how you want your day to end as it not only furnishes the cool breeze but also provides a picturesque sight.
6. Staying home and lazing around
Since its summer you get a chance to stick to your lazy bed/sofa and play games on your mobiles and laptops as your parents would be scared to send you outside due to the loo. And the best part is you can stay in your pyjamas the whole day, cause no leaving home.
7. Relish over ice cream/cold drinks
Who can say no to ice cream/cold drinks in summers? What are you even talking about, I survive on ice cream/cold drinks in summer.
Ice cream parlours in Jaipur serves many inviting flavours. Jal Mahal Ice Cream Parlor has some refreshing options on their menu that will make your taste buds go gaga with joy.
8. The perfect excuse to run through sprinklers in the garden
Remember when you were a kid and use to play with water balloons, relive those moments, let the child inside you jump out and run through the water sprinklers till you are drenched. It’s one of the best things about summers.
Are you of the kind who just sticks onto his bed and spends all of his time in front of the television/laptop/mobile screens? Or are you one of those who spends his day in the office and is bored with the monotonous schedule and needs new things to spice up the week? Worry not, we’ve got you covered. Presenting 8 events in the city this month that you won’t regret attending!

Valentine’s Day is here and lovers around the world are gearing up for the annual celebration of love. This is the day to tell the one, they are on your mind. But there’s a minor glitch.
This valentine may not be the ideal day to plan an over the board romantic date since it falls on Thursday! But don’t let that stop you from showing your partner a good time. Wondering what special can you do on a week day? We have got you some ideas that can make your Valentine’s Day in pink city make the cut. Checkithow !
For married couples and those living in, nothing can beat the intimacy of breakfast in bed. Prepare a healthy meal of things your partner loves. Decorate it nicely on a tray with a good morning note and some coffee or juice. A healthy kick start is best before the cheat meals that await you later in the day.
For those young love birds who live apart, a nice morning walk will suffice. Go to her place, wake her up with a sweet call, tell her to come down and walk along the streets. The fresh morning breeze, chirping of birds and motor sounds of the rising city will make the perfect companions for you two.
If you can arrange a car, then it’s even better. Take them on a drive to Jal Mahal or along the Central Park, the two prime locations of Jaipur that look absolutely stunning in the morning. Go another mile and take them on a long drive to Nahargarh Fort, watch the sunrise bring the whole city to life which is mesmerizing to watch. Bring a hot insulated mug of coffee and Maggi for a cozy breakfast. Share your food and spend some quality time in quiet together. Go home and come back to drop them off at work. Before they leave, gift them a nice outfit for dinner later in the evening. Don’t let them open the gift until later. Let the anticipation build for good!
At lunch, arrange for a dessert to be delivered at their desk. Order anything sweet they like. It can be a sweet, a cupcake, cookies or even ice cream. The thoughtful surprise will surely woo them. Add in some fresh flowers as well. Everyone loves a fragrant reminder of love on the most romantic day of the year. She will fall for your gestures over and over when her colleagues swoon over your little surprises!
For later in the evening, plan a happening night at a bar or lounge. Keep it a secret. Tell them to wear the gift you gave them earlier in the morning. Bars and pubs offer some exciting offers on Valentine’s Day for party lovers that you can take advantage of. Make time to browse in advance and book yourself before it’s too late.
Drink your fill and dance your hearts out with your lover in your arms. Let the party animal in you unleash itself. Have fun, sneak in some spontaneous romantic kisses, make the night count. Most of all, keep it all about both of you.
If you are not the party wild kind, then a quiet dinner at a lavish eatery can make a good choice. The Stag Café opposite Amber Fort is a chic place to eat under the starry sky. Take in the view of the brightly lit Amber Fort along with the intoxicating smells of food and cool night breeze.
Eating out may seem like a routine for long dating or married couples. So how do you spice it up? Recreate your first date! Take them to the same place, order the same menu and revisit your memories. Take pictures of the night. Make a deal of recreating your outings every once in a while. A cozy dinner at rooftop of your apartment, or the balcony can be a good option as well. Indulge in conversations.
Talk about the time that has passed and the future that awaits. Couples living apart can make a romantic night out of Valentine’s Day by packing take out dinner and going to some open public space to eat. This is good time to talk about your feelings. Say it out! Tell them how you feel. You’ll surprised how well it turns out without the mandatory lavish hangout at a restaurant or bar. After all it’s not the place but the person you are with who makes things special and out of the ordinary, isn’t it?
