Hangout and Chilling at AMPM Cafe & Bar

by Rohit Dassani · July 2, 2015

AMPM Cafe & Bar reminds me of the college days and the time spent with friends. Located near the Rajouri Garden Metro Station, New Delhi just above “The California Boulevard”, the place is lively occupying two levels of the building. The top floor has an outdoor seating as well as a part has indoor seating. The white and black posters on the walls take you to the 70’s while the black leather seats come from the 80’s. The music was soothing which makes you groove. The place was completely occupied at 4pm on a Saturday evening.
