CHIEFS BEER BAR & RESTAURANT - Bar & grill in Nangal - Rupnagar, India

Visited this restaurant after more than five decades, on our way from Delhi to HP. It was an emotional nostalgic experience for me. I vividly remember visiting this restaurant often as a small child, along with my parents, during our visits to Bhakra in late 1950 and early 1960s. I also remember that spread over beautiful lawns, It was primarily an open-air restaurant during those days, with an excellent location by the side of the lake and canal. The locationional advantage remains, but the existing condition of lawns left much to be desired. If my memory serves me right, the restaurant's name was just 'Chief's Restaurant' in the earlier days, and it also has undergone change. We had our lunch here, and all the dishes were well cooked and very satisfying. It hurts me to downgrade the rating of this iconic restaurant by a star because of it needs better maintenance.

We had tasty burgers and fries here and the salt and pepper corn was delicious. The view is great and our table was comfortable in the shade. For a beer bar, they do not have a great selection of beer, but other than that, it was lovely and reasonably priced.

Best thing about this restaurant is the location, you will get the view of the dam. Food is good with good service

We stopped here on the way up to dharamshala and again on the way back down. Both times the food was well presented, hot and delicious. Majority of the front of house staff speak exceptional english, and are extremely welcoming. Good, clean toilets. Brilliant choice of indoor and outdoor seating. Would highly recommend stopping here. Thanks again guys!

There is only one, but unequal in ambience anywhere around, restaurant in my home town. The Chief's since 1954. A lot of memories here since school time. It's best for outside sitting, gazing at the Bhakra bound Sutlej river/canal, during evenings. The food is tasty and I've always been a fan of their cheese chilly. Their decor has been upgraded on the inside and it's a more refreshed feel now. However, their lawn sitting needs better maintenance and much needed upgradations since years. I give 5 stars to the experience and ambience, barring the infrastructure.

Beautiful place right by the Nangal Dam on the banks of Sutlej river. Going by the favourites i.e. FISH, we ordered Fish Fry, Fish Tikka, Fish Fingers, Chilli Fish, Fish Masala and Jeera rice on the side. Everything tasted very good and fresh especially the Fish Tikka which was a group favourite. Must stop by if passing through Bhakra Nangal.

The place is great, The views are really great from the restraunt. The interior part has a good feel and ambience to it, The exterior seating is great too. You can see the river along the road and the showpieces are great too. The food preparation is great and specially the non veg dishes. Deserts are also very nice. Its a must visit place if you go to nangal. Basically if a person wants to spend a great evening or afternoon must visit with family or without family both are up. The one star is missing because, if the following reason: > The washrooms are not very nice. > Waiters uniform should have been a little bit better. > Cleanliness could have been a bit bettt too All in all best for having food and spending some quality time The prices are good, and the price of the food is worth it. Great place must visit

Overlooking the canal, on a small raised hill this place gives you authentic vintage feel and views. As you dine under the skies and look around with the gentle breeze flowing around you, you forget your worries for a moment. One of the speciality of this place is its fish. The grilled and the fried fish and chips are cooked to perfection. Tender white fish with none of the oily and fishy smell. The snacks are a delight! Moderately priced, this place is must visit in Nangal.
