Nights out in the Capital will now simmer in the heat of pure music and fun, as Channel V, the popular music channel is set to open the V Spot cafe and bar in the Saket area. Located in an upcoming mall, the too-cool-for-school bar boasts of some nifty gadgets and toys.

As you enter, a giant V placed smack by the entrance greets you. Right adjacent to it is the iPad wall on which you can browse the menu. The seating area resembles a bachelor’s, or a bachelorette's pad — big comfy sofas, retro swivel chairs and funky graphics on walls and floor. But the screen display titled Victionary gets the attention. You can sketch on the screen, record messages, make videos with friends, which will then be displayed live in the bar.

Another fun, and slightly voyeuristic feature is the video booth right outside the restrooms. While you wash up, just look into the screen in front of you, and do something goofy. The snippet video recorded could possibly end up on one of the Channel’s many shows. But don’t fret, there are no cameras in the real washrooms. We checked! Besides, as you hang out there also expect to run into a host of the Channel’s VJs as they will regularly shoot shows there. Then there are live bands jams, art performances, special Dj nights and many more things on offer.

Keep the credit/debit cards handy.
