The Tavern

One of the liveliest ways to spend an evening when you’re in Mussoorie, is to head to The Tavern for drinks and dinner. There’s usually live music playing—and although it’s nothing exceptional, it definitely lends character to the space—so start out with a drink at the bar before proceeding to dinner at your table. The wait staff at the restaurant have been around forever—the locals and regulars are on a first name basis with them—so a good way to go would be to get their recommendations once you’ve decided between the Indian and Chinese menu (the tandoori section has a range of succulent, perfectly cooked meats). The décor is nothing out of the ordinary, but you’ll be happy with your meal.
