The Lounge

A large hall which houses memorabilia from the clubs hoary past, well appointed with marble flooring, chandeliers that hang from a high ceiling and leather upholstered chairs makes for a warm introduction to the main building which houses a bar, the dining room, several ante-rooms and the Mysore room which is a dress lounge. 

The Main lawn

Verdant green grass, bordered with shrubs and flower beds, an imposing rain tree at its entrance, beneath whose shade, the umbrella bar in Tudor styling nourishes the Thirsty! Diagonally opposite at the far end the lawn gives way to the children’s playpen and crche. A circular dance floor and snack counters near the playpen. All these combine, magically as it were, on Sunday afternoons to provide the members, their guests and children with an air of celebration, to the strains of live music.

The Anchor lawn

A secluded retreat, enclosed by the rear of the library and annexe, the boundary wall and the basketball court. This eucalyptus and tamarind tree grove has two raised bandstands, one of which also serves as a dance floor. An ideal location to host a party without being a disturbance to the rest of the club. The adjacent anchor hall provides welcome shelter in inclement weather.

The Dining hall

To the left of the main lounge, this imposing room with its draped windows, high ceiling, alcoves and a centre table that brings to mind the fabled king Arthur’s court, serves a range of Indian, Chinese and colonial English food.

  
The Men's bar

Something of an anachronism, this is perhaps the last exclusive bar for men. Ladies and children are not admitted to this panelled room with its animal heads, trophies and weapons in menacing array !

The Mixed bar

An air-conditioned bar with carpeting, leather upholstered chesterfields, and pencil sketches, is reminiscent of an English pub. There is no gender discrimination here! Two large windows afford a view of the garden and the library beyond.
