Bira 91 Taproom, India’s largest Taproom chain, made its much-anticipated debut in Pune with the launch of its first-ever outpost in the city at The Mills, Sangamvadi. 

Spanning 3,200 sq. ft. and seating 130 guests, the new outlet marks Bira 91’s ninth Taproom, complete with a 16-tap wall serving one of the city's most diverse and experimental beer lineups. The Bira 91 Taproom operates from 12 noon to 1:30 am, with meals for two priced at ₹2,000 and drinks starting at ₹229.

Designed with a contemporary industrial aesthetic, the Taproom features natural greenery, a calming wall fountain, and hand-painted arches depicting the journey from grain to mug. The space blends warmth, creativity, and character to create a vibrant yet inviting atmosphere. The food menu continues the brand’s innovative approach, offering globally inspired comfort dishes from sliders and small plates to flatbreads and Asian-style plates, all curated to pair with the Taproom’s craft beers and cocktails. Guests can expect everything from Bira 91’s flagship brews to limited-edition small batches.

As part of its focus on innovation, the Pune Taproom will debut a new beer on tap every week through its “Make Play Thursdays,” encouraging repeat visits with fresh offerings. The venue will also host an energetic calendar of events, including beer-tasting workshops, pub quizzes, live music, indie gigs, sports screenings, as well as LGBTQ+ and pet-friendly gatherings, positioning it as a community hub for the city’s creative crowd.
