NEW DELHI : Bars, pubs and nightclubs are reporting a sharp rebound in footfall, with improving walk-ins and resumption of live events, according to a Mint survey.
While a few establishments said sales and footfall have been the highest since the onset of the pandemic, for others, business transactions matched December 2021 levels, with a rise in the number of dinners visiting bars and pubs following a drop in covid-19 cases. “Footfalls are as good as pre-covid, even up 30%," said Akshay Anand who runs the Ophelia and Cosy Box clubs in Delhi.
Anand said diners were back to celebrating birthdays and anniversaries as well as the occasional get-togethers during the week.
Tourists, both domestic and international, are also turning up in significant numbers. “We see a lot of embassy crowd coming to Ophelia and Cosy Box.
