2017: Camac Street. 2022: South City Mall. That’s the timeline of Scrapyard Brewing Co. that opens today on the fourth floor of the buzzing south Kolkata mall. Spread across a sprawling 4,000sq ft, Scrapyard is broadly divided into indoor and outdoor seating. If the indoor seating has an industrial touch like its first outlet, the outside wears a more relaxed vibe with fountains, plants and colourful seatings.

“We have been eyeing this part of the city as it has the best all-day-dining crowd. Plus, the crowd profile in a mall is different, here people come with an idea of coming to shop and then eat unlike outlets on Camac Street that have a pub-hopping culture. When we saw this place just two months ago, we loved it because it has a lovely outdoor space which no other outlet in the mall has. Also we are the only microbrewery in the mall now,” said owners Rohit Ojha and Ankit Madhogaria.

The 260-covers chill spot has a multicuisine food menu that boasts of over 70 dishes and heady cocktails that will get you charged up. So till the time the microbrewery license comes through you can make the most with their sip menu.

South City Mall specifically is very happy with the inclusion of Scrapyard. “South City Mall had envisioned to create a new destination for Kolkata, which gets filled with Scrapyard coming on board. We were decided on getting a microbrewery with a destination to party and Scrapyard, operating the microbrewery in the heart of city came out as one of the best choices and is greatly connected with the patrons in Kolkata too. Now South City Mall has got five lounges apart from six dining options. The open terrace shall be a place to be,” said Man Mohan Bagree, vice-president, South City Group.
