This festive season, make sure to visit Club Aeries if you do not want to miss out on a stunning panoramic view of the Calcutta skyline. High above the bustle of the city, the sprawling 17,000sq ft chill spot features a number of stunning sections, now including a bar. Previously known as Cloud Social, the now Club Aeries is all set to ring in the winter cheer with an all-new BBQ and sizzler menu, which includes mock meat, a variety of cuisines from across the globe and an array of cocktails.

“We update our menu every three months and this time too, we have introduced new items. We have kept in mind the upcoming winter months while curating the dishes as well as the fact that we now have alcohol available. There have been a lot of changes in terms of the menu and the sections present here but we have stayed the same team at the core,” said Niraj Goel, co-owner, Club Aeries.
“With the bar open now, we have oriented our menu to include more spices and tidbits. We have also tried to include smoky flavours, like with the sizzlers, keeping in mind the winter season,” added Abhishek Panja, executive chef, Club Aeries.
