About 32nd Avenue
32nd Avenue is Gurugram’s innovative open-air “high street” lifestyle hub, located along NH-48 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway) in Sector 15 Part 2 of Gurugram (wanderlog.com ). Housed in a landmark refurbished from the old 32nd Milestone complex, it opened in late 2017 after a ₹25 crore renovation (timesofindia.indiatimes.com ). Today it’s a vibrant, pedestrian-only plaza of red-brick architecture and fairy-light decorations, where food, fashion, music and design converge (www.32nd.com ) (wanderlog.com ). Celebrated for its curated boutiques and eateries, it covers roughly 1.5 lakh sq.ft. of indoor space plus a 25,000 sq.ft. rooftop and 1.2 lakh sq.ft. of lawn (timesofindia.indiatimes.com ). With heritage-inspired streetscape design and modern amenities, 32nd Avenue has won awards (Times Food & Nightlife Awards 2020 “Best Food/Entertainment Hub” (www.32ndmilestone.in )) and become a favourite hangout that defines Gurugram’s new generation lifestyle.
Events and Programming
Rather than permanent shows, 32nd Avenue hosts a mix of rotating events and experiences. Its calendar includes seasonal street markets (e.g. the Spring Market with live music, art and pop-up boutiques (so.city )), artisan workshops (pottery and craft sessions in The Vault (wanderlog.com )), rooftop DJ nights or jazz gigs at bars like The Groove and The Piano Man (www.tripadvisor.ie ), and holiday festivities (Diwali lights, New Year’s Eve parties, etc.). Many restaurants hold themed nights (live jazz or piano dinners at The Piano Man (www.tripadvisor.ie )) and sports screenings. Most events are geared to weekend and evening crowds: lively cocktails-and-entertainment on Friday/Saturday nights, and casual family brunches during daytime. Touring acts or electronic DJs sometimes use the open courtyard or terrace for one-off concerts. Tickets for special events (if required) are usually modest and sold online; however, many concerts and markets at 32nd Avenue are free to enter. Visitors rave about the ambience during events—packed yet friendly on Friday nights, and beautifully lit with lanterns under the night sky. Typical ticket prices for paid shows or workshops can range from a few hundred to a couple of thousand rupees, depending on the act and seating (dining events often include minimum spends, while outdoor shows may have general admission). Overall, programming leans local and boutique: expect indie bands, acoustic jazz, DJ-led happy hours, art installations and trend-focused pop-ups rather than big-name stadium acts.
Tickets and Booking
Access to 32nd Avenue itself is free and open to the public (no entrance fee). You simply walk in past the gate; as one review noted, “it’s an open mall kind of place” with security guards at the entrance but no ticket needed (wanderlog.com ). For events or workshops, tickets (if any) are normally reserved through the venue hosting them. The best strategy is to follow 32nd Avenue’s official channels: sign up on the 32ND App or join their mailing list for announcements. The 32ND app offers table reservations, exclusive workshop invites, and loyalty perks (www.32nd.com ). Popular live performances at lounges like The Piano Man should be booked well in advance through the restaurant’s reservation line. Bars and restaurants generally take reservations for tables via phone or their app — it’s wise to book weekends (especially 8–10pm) at least a week ahead. If an event does sell tickets, it may appear on local listings, or on the individual venue’s page (e.g. The Piano Man’s website). For surprise “walk-up” DJs or music nights, arriving early is best. In summary, casual visits need no booking, but any premium dining or limited-capacity shows will require advance reservation via the app or the venue’s contact number.
Seating and Layout
There is no fixed seating bowl at 32nd Avenue – it’s a flexible open plaza. The layout is essentially a large pedestrian street flanked by restaurants, shops and cafes. Tables and chairs spill out from eateries, and there’s lawn and courtyard space for events. At ground level, casual bench seating and cafe patios are scattered along the brick walkway. A central lawn (formerly the 32nd Milestone green) can host large gatherings or outdoor stages. Upshot: any spot along the avenue feels like “general admission.” For optimum viewing during concerts or DJ nights, people tend to gather near the stage (often set up on the lawn or central area) so arriving early secures a front-row spot. At night, many prefer sitting under the warm glow of fairy lights toward the middle of the street. Some venues offer private or elevated seating: for example The Groove rooftop lounge and The Piano Man’s mezzanine have VIP tables (bookable for parties). The architecture and open-air design mean sound can disperse, so front areas feel most immersive and a short distance may make performers hard to hear. Overall though, there’s no “bad seat” – pick any café table or bench near the entertainment. The pedestrian nature means you can wander to different spots freely. Avoid standing against shop walls or too far sideways as speakers usually face the crowd center. Note that buildings are single-story (except rooftop portions), so visibility is never obstructed by tall stands or balconies. Wheelchair users will find mostly level access – the street is flat, with ramped restaurant entrances and lifts to lofted bars, as one wheelchair-accessible restaurant listing confirms (www.tripadvisor.ie ).
Getting There and Parking
32nd Avenue is conveniently located on NH-48 in Sector 15 (Part II), Gurugram – approximately 3.5 km from HUDA City Centre and about 4 km from Cyber City. By car, take the Delhi-Jaipur (NH8/NH48) highway and look for the Milestone Experion Center sign. Ample on-site parking is available below the building, often with valet service (www.tripadvisor.ie ). Nearby public parking lots also serve Sector 15; on busy evenings these fill up, so arrive early or consider carpools. Note: vehicles cannot drive down the high street itself (wanderlog.com ), but taxis and ride-shares (Ola/Uber) can drop you at the gated entrance. If you’d rather leave your car, a taxi stand is just outside, and valet parking is offered by most major outlets on the avenue (www.tripadvisor.ie ). By public transport, the closest metro station is HUDA City Centre (Yellow Line) – it’s about a 15-20 minute auto-rickshaw or short taxi ride away. Rapid Metro’s Sikanderpur station (MG Road/Cyber City area) is also nearby (about 10 minutes by auto). Several Gurgaon bus routes stop along NH-8 at Sector 15 Hayat Chowk (“Sector 15 (Part 1) NH-8” stop), only an 8 minute walk from the venue (moovitapp.com ). From either metro or bus, shared autos or cycle-rickshaws can easily reach the main gate. For night-return travel, keep in mind the last metro ~midnight; beyond that, rely on app cabs or late-night buses. If driving late, local roads are well-lit but watch for heavy traffic on the highway. In short, 32nd Avenue is car-friendly (with parking) and well-served by Gurgaon’s bus network and taxis; just allow extra time during peak hours due to NH-8 traffic.
Inside the Venue
Upon entering 32nd Avenue, expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. A security check at the gate is standard – guards may do a quick bag scan, but entry is smooth if you’re not carrying prohibited items. The brick-lined street is softly lit by thousands of overhead fairy lights and lanterns in the evening, creating a festive yet cozy vibe (wanderlog.com ). Music (often lounge or light electronic tunes) plays from speakers by dining areas, but it’s usually low enough to have conversations. Shops, cafes and restaurants open directly onto the street; many have large retractable doors. You’ll find cafes like Greenr (healthy bites) and Carnatic Cafe (South Indian classics) mentioned by visitors (wanderlog.com ), plus international cuisines at places like Pastiche, The Groove (Rooftop Bar), The Piano Man (grill & jazz), and others. Service is generally attentive, though one negative review noted occasional heavy policing of photography inside eateries (wanderlog.com ) (best to ask permission before filming meals). Restrooms are located inside each F&B outlet – no common restroom block, so you’ll use the nearest open restaurant. Expect a “smart casual” crowd of young professionals and diners (as reviews note, mostly a younger upscale audience (wanderlog.com )). Traffic is pedestrian-only, so families with strollers or wheelchairs can move freely. Food delivery riders may zip through, and stores often pump out fresh coffee and baked goods. A key amenity is the 32nd App’s Wi-Fi or network login – many venues offer free guest Wi-Fi if you present their app or menu voucher. Connectivity is good (4G works well everywhere here). You’ll also find branded vending and artisanal shops (e.g. The Vault). Don’t expect vending machines or ATM inside – people use cards in cafes or find an ATM outside. In short: It feels like a European pedestrian plaza. Grab food or drinks at any open counter, then sit at communal tables or bar stools and enjoy the scene. If attending an event, staff and signage will direct you to the right zone. There’s no cloakroom or coat-check – just a relaxed indoor/outdoor space. You’re encouraged to explore with friends, and most areas have ample lounge seating and bar tables.
Nearby Amenities
As part of a bustling neighborhood, 32nd Avenue has plenty around it. Directly on-site are over 40 eateries and bars, so you won’t have to look far for pre-show dining – just pick the cuisine you like (from South Indian dosas to Korean fried chicken). Many guests begin their visit with dinner or pre-dinner drinks right on the avenue. Right across the street on NH-8 you’ll find more casual hotels and restaurants, though quality varies. If you’re staying overnight, the nearest full-service hotels are a short drive away: Crowne Plaza Gurugram (near Medanta) ~3km south, and Ibis/Novotel/Gurugram Cyber Tower (near HUDA City Centre Metro) 3–4km east. Le Méridien and Hyatt Place are also in Cyber City, about 10 minutes from here. For quick bites off-site, Sector 15’s old market area has local eateries – but most visitors prefer the curated 32nd Avenue selection. After an event, ride-share and auto apps work 24/7 to bring you home (the area is well-connected by Ola/Uber). If you plan to dine, arriving 30–45 minutes early is recommended. Downtown Gurugram’s other hubs (MG Road, Sector 29) are within 10–15 minutes taxi; 32nd Avenue itself is actually an entertainment destination, so most “nearby” food & drink options are on the premises or a 5-min auto ride away.
What Makes This Venue Special
32nd Avenue stands out as India’s first design-led open high street, mixing gourmet dining with street-style marketplaces. Its quirky charm comes from the fusion of old and new: colonial-style brick facades paired with trendy street art and greenery (www.vogue.in ). It was built by Milestone Ventures on the legacy of the “32nd Milestone” (a 1990s roadside resort), but reconceived for today's crowd (timesofindia.indiatimes.com ). Co-founder Dhruv Sharma calls it “an experience building machine” rather than a typical mall (www.vogue.in ) – it functions as an incubator for homegrown brands (Greenr, Carnatic Cafe, The Monk, etc. (www.32nd.com ) (www.vogue.in )) and a community for emerging subcultures. Architecturally, its soaring courtyard, open-air cabanas and Victorian-era style give it a storybook meeting-ground feel. Nighttime transforms the space into a fairy-lit festival with gentle music and happy diners – a reviewer even said the architecture and green lawn “brought back British-era charm” (wanderlog.com ). Culturally, it’s notable as a hangout for Gurgaon’s tech and media crowd, sitting beside Google’s campus at DLF Cyber City. The site optimally blends leisure and innovation: trends are tested here (as evidenced by 32nd launching Goa’s fashion street, and its own brand incubator program (www.32nd.com )). Legendary uses include heart-of-the-city New Year’s parties and once-small ventures that became sensations (like how its ramen pop-up sold out each weekend quickly (www.vogue.in )). In summary, 32nd Avenue is special because it feels both familiar and fresh: a lively urban village where every visit unveils new discoveries, from gourmet flavors to pop-up art, all in one photogenic locale highlighted by its nightly canopy of lights (wanderlog.com ).
Visitor Tips and Information
Arrival & Timing: Evenings are magic here – the place truly comes alive after dusk under the string lights. If you want energy and crowd, aim for 8–10pm on Friday/Saturday. For a more relaxed experience, come post-10pm or on weekdays. Try to arrive at least 30 minutes before any show or reservation slot; parking can fill up and restaurants do get busy. The typical visit lasts about 2.5–3 hours (wanderlog.com ), more if you’re dining leisurely or catching an event. The complex is open roughly 11am–11pm daily (most shops and eateries follow this schedule) (wanderlog.com ). Check restaurant closing times (some close around 11pm or midnight).
Accessibility: The entire avenue is on ground level with ramps and wide pathways. Wheelchair users will find it easy to navigate (shops have flat entries, and lifts serve upper levels). Restroom facilities within venues are usually accessible. The Piano Man entry is listed as wheelchair-friendly (www.tripadvisor.ie ), and other cafes have similar ramps. If you need help, staff are generally accommodating of special needs.
Ticketing & Event Etiquette: Unless you’ve bought a ticket for a specific show, you can just stroll in. If an event has tickets, be sure to book early (the 32nd App or the venue’s site will list official events). Don’t memorize any specific timing restrictions, but expect gates to open about 30 min before a show. After the show, many visitors linger for drinks or more food in the same venue. Note: some restaurants will politely ask guests not to film performances without permission – always respect any such announcement.
Seating & Dress Code: Dress code is casual to smart-casual. Men often wear collared shirts and jeans or chinos; women might wear dresses or fashionable tops. There is no strict dress code, but upscale casual is a safe choice (some lounges may enforce it). Avoid overly beachy attire (no flip-flops for fine-dine sections, no swimwear). In winter, evenings can be cool, so bring a light jacket. Seating is first-come for general areas; if you want a covered seat, order from a cafe soon after arriving. There is no coat-check, and bag sizes might be limited if tight on space, so small bags are easier if restaurants are packed.
What to Bring/Not Bring: Always carry a photo ID if you plan to do any late-night drinking or club entry. Outside food and large bottles of alcohol are not allowed; water bottles are fine (though many shops sell bottled water and soft drinks). Pets (besides service animals) aren’t generally permitted inside restaurants, but small dogs on leash may wander the outside areas. Re-entry is allowed during a single evening if you step out (just get them stamped at the guard). You can click photos freely in public spaces – in fact, it’s very Instagrammable. One customer review noted others shooting video in restaurants, so use discretion and be polite (some cafés may ask you not to stream inside).
Common Pitfalls: One common mistake is underestimating how crowded weekend evenings get – book dining well ahead, or go earlier. Also, prices run high (as reviews warn, the location is affluent), so budget accordingly – a meal for two can easily be ₹2,000–₹3,000. Use the 32nd App or loyalty programs if you like deals. Finally, plan transportation in advance: if driving, factor in heavy highway traffic during rush hour and allow time for parking and valet. For metro travelers, note the last train departs around midnight, so book a taxi or auto for late returns.
Insider Tip: Check if any community markets or themed festivals are happening – they pop up every few months and offer unique finds. Look for enthusiastic startup brands (like the once-popular Yellow Leaf hammocks or locally made decor) – their stalls often appear at street fairs here. And if you see a line outside the Carnival-themed center or 32nd Gelato, it’s usually worth the wait! Overall, 32nd Avenue rewards exploration: keep an eye out for hidden ramps (to rooftop bars) and tucked-away pop-ups – that’s half the fun.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 32nd Avenue and where is it located?
32nd Avenue is an open-air lifestyle and dining hub (like a boutique “mall street”) in Gurugram. It occupies a red-brick pedestrian plaza on NH-48 in Sector 15 Part 2, Gurugram (near the Experion Centre) (wanderlog.com ). This award-winning urban destination is filled with cafes, restaurants and shops, and has become a local landmark for food and entertainment (www.32nd.com ) (timesofindia.indiatimes.com ). It’s essentially a high-street campus open daily for visitors.
What are the opening hours for 32nd Avenue?
Most of 32nd Avenue’s stores and restaurants operate from late morning through night. In general, venues are open from about 11:00 AM until 11:00 PM (wanderlog.com ). Some bars and clubs on site may stay open later (e.g. until midnight or 1:00 AM) on weekends, but the avenue itself is built around those roughly 11–11 hours. It’s best to check specific restaurant or event closing times in advance.
Is there an entry fee or ticket required to visit 32nd Avenue?
No, entry to 32nd Avenue itself is free. You can walk in from the street without buying any ticket. As a visitor review noted, it’s “an open mall” atmosphere (wanderlog.com ). You only pay for whatever food, drinks or event you purchase while there. There is no general admission fee. If you attend a special show or workshop, those might have their own tickets, but casual entry into the complex costs nothing.
How do I get tickets or make reservations for events at 32nd Avenue?
To book events or special activities, check 32nd Avenue’s official channels. They encourage guests to download the 32ND App, which lists upcoming shows and lets you reserve tables or event entries (www.32nd.com ). For popular venues like The Piano Man or The Groove, call them directly to reserve spots (phone numbers are usually on their maps listing). There is no central box office, so look for announcements on the 32nd Avenue website, social media or in local event listings. Some concerts or workshops are ticketed online—follow the venue’s updates. In general, free or casual events don’t need tickets; for ticketed events, plan to buy online or at the door soon after sale opens, since weekend shows can sell out.
How can I reach 32nd Avenue by public transport?
By Metro, the closest Yellow Line station is Huda City Centre (formerly Millennium City Centre), about 3–4 km away; from there, hire an auto-rickshaw or taxi to Sector 15. Alternatively, the Rapid Metro has a Sikanderpur station (Cyber City) roughly 3 km from 32nd Avenue. Buses also run along NH-8 to Sector 15 – the nearest stop is “Sector 15 Part 1, NH-8” which is only about a 600m walk (moovitapp.com ). The local Haryana Roadways or private buses (132, 134, etc.) serve that stop. Once at the area, 32nd Avenue is clearly visible along the highway. For best results, take a cycle-rickshaw or app-cab from the metro or bus stop directly to the venue’s entrance.
Is parking available at 32nd Avenue, and is it paid?
Yes, 32nd Avenue provides on-site parking spaces. There are basement and adjacent parking lots, and most outlets offer valet service (www.tripadvisor.ie ). Parking is generally paid, although some restaurants offer free valet if you dine there. Rates are modest (often function of time/hours spent). Because it’s on the busy NH-8, weekend evenings see high demand, so arrive early or share rides if possible. If valet is used, tip etiquette is similar to other upscale venues. After hours, security guards can guide you to night parking spots. In any case, car access is limited to outside areas; the main central street remains pedestrian-only (wanderlog.com ).
Does 32nd Avenue have wheelchair access?
Yes. 32nd Avenue is largely flat and designed for easy mobility. The entrances and pathways are ramped, and the plaza is entirely ground-level (no steps throughout the main street). Wheelchair users can navigate from store to store, and most restaurants and shops have wheelchair-friendly entrances. Notably, The Piano Man and several cafes explicitly list “wheelchair accessible” (www.tripadvisor.ie ). Elevators to rooftops exist in places like The Groove and The Piano Man’s building. Restrooms inside major outlets accommodate disabled patrons. If assistance is needed, staff are usually helpful. Overall, it’s considered accessible by visitors in wheelchairs.
Are children or pets allowed at 32nd Avenue?
Families and children are welcome. In fact, the open-air vibe and casual eateries make it family-friendly, especially in early evenings. You’ll see young kids with parents enjoying ice cream or family meals. (Some venues, like bars, stop allowing minors after a certain hour, so check age policies for late nights.) As for pets: service animals are of course allowed. Small pets on a leash are usually tolerated in the outdoor areas, but they cannot enter most indoor restaurants or bars due to local regulations. If you do bring a pet, make sure to keep it calm and cleaned up – the place is busy and not all venues will accept furry companions indoors.
How long should I plan for a visit to 32nd Avenue?
Most visitors spend around 2–3 hours on site (wanderlog.com ). That allows time to stroll the street, sample food or drinks at one or two places, and browse any point-of-interest. If you have dinner or attend a full performance, plan on 3+ hours. You can always stay for the evening once you’re there – many people arrive for a late dinner and end up lingering for drinks or dessert. If you’re just exploring (without sitting down), 1–2 hours may suffice. But because the environment is so inviting, guests often stay well into the night once they’ve arrived.
Is photography allowed inside 32nd Avenue?
Yes – in general you are free to take photos and selfies anywhere in the public areas. In fact, 32nd Avenue is known as a top photo spot (wanderlog.com ). The entire place (with its lights and architecture) is very Instagram-friendly. Just be courteous: some restaurants may have rules about filming their stage shows, and avoid using flash if it disturbs others. Always respect any “no photo” signs. But casual photography of the street, crowds, and stores is perfectly fine.
Is there a dress code for 32nd Avenue?
No formal dress code is enforced for entry. Most guests wear smart casual attire for evening outings (jeans/khakis with a collared shirt or blouse, sundress, nice top, etc.). A few upscale restaurants or bars might request no flip-flops or shorts after 9pm, but these are rare. The general rule is look neat, as it’s a fashionable crowd. Dressing in layers is smart – even in Delhi, nights can get cool. Overall, think of it as “nice casual,” and you’ll fit right in.
Do places accept credit cards or digital payments?
Yes. Virtually all restaurants, cafes and stores accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) and digital wallets (Paytm, Google Pay, etc.). In 2025, cashless payment is widespread in Gurugram’s dining scene. However, it’s wise to keep a small amount of cash for minor purchases or in case any independent stall doesn’t run cards (most vendors do). ATMs are available near nearby malls or petrol pumps, but plan to pay mostly with plastic.
What happens if it rains—does 32nd Avenue close?
32nd Avenue is an outdoor venue, so windy rain can dampen the atmosphere. In light rain, many restaurants will lay out canopies or bring seating inside. In heavy downpours, outdoor events may be postponed or equipment secured. The indoor sections (restaurants) remain open. Live DJs or bands might cancel if weather is severe. Plans are quick to change with Gurugram monsoons, but brief showers rarely shut down the venue entirely. If rain is forecast, call ahead: the 32nd App or venue might notify guests of rain plans (unofficial updates often circulate on their social media). Bottom line: if it drizzles, you can still enjoy inside dining; if it storms, cover in a nearby cafe until it passes.
How is 32nd Avenue different from a typical mall?
32nd Avenue is intentionally NOT an indoor mall under one roof. Co-founder Dhruv Sharma emphasizes it’s “a space for discovery,” an experience-driven community hub (www.vogue.in ). Unlike a mall focused on selling products, 32nd Avenue emphasizes ambiance, local culture and events. It’s an open street environment where dining, entertainment and pop-up markets are central. Think of it as a curated downtown plaza: shops and cafes are like boutiques, not chain stores, and there’s a festival atmosphere. Essentially, it blends street shopping and food with an incubator for creative brands, rather than a closed shopping center.
How far in advance should I get there for a performance or reservation?
For dinner reservations or ticketed shows, arrive at least 15–20 minutes before the scheduled time (or even earlier if parking is tight). If it’s a popular evening event, coming 30 minutes early will help you settle in and find seating. Weekends and holiday events especially draw crowds. If you only plan to browse shops or take photos, you can come at your convenience, but for dining or events, give yourself extra buffer. A recommended strategy: park or be dropped off early, then take a quick walk around to pick your spot or see if surprises (like pop-up stalls) are happening before your main event starts. This way you won’t miss anything while waiting and still have a good seat.
Is smoking allowed at 32nd Avenue?
Smoking is not allowed in indoor areas of any restaurant or bar. Some eateries may have a designated outdoor smoking zone or patio where smoking is permitted. Like most upscale venues, 32nd Avenue enforces the city’s anti-smoking rules for public spaces. If you need to smoke, ask staff where the outdoor smoking area is. Vaping is similarly discouraged inside. Essentially, treat 32nd Avenue as a non-smoking premise except in clearly marked external spots.
Will I find family or kid-friendly facilities at 32nd Avenue?
Yes. The open, park-like layout makes it relatively easy for families. There are no rides or playgrounds specifically, but kids can wander safely among the diners. Most restaurants will welcome children (for example, Carnatic Cafe is popular with families). High chairs and children’s menus may be available at select eateries. If you’re attending an outdoor event, there’s plenty of space for kids to move around. Just be mindful that the crowd skews young adult, so it’s more of a casual, laid-back family outing than a children’s theme park. As with any public space, parents should watch small children near food/drink areas and steps, but overall it’s family-friendly.
What payment methods are accepted at 32nd Avenue venues?
All major payment methods are accepted. Restaurants and shops take credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, etc.), as well as UPI and mobile wallets (Google Pay, Paytm, PhonePe etc.), which are extremely common in India now. Digital contactless payments via phone or smart watches work as well. That said, having some cash on hand (₹500–₹1,000) can be handy for smaller food stalls or in case a card machine is temporarily down. ATMs are located nearby outside the complex, but they usually can charge a fee. In practice, most visitors pay by card or UPI.
Is 32nd Avenue open on national holidays and festivals?
Yes, 32nd Avenue typically remains open on most public holidays (Diwali, Christmas, etc.), though individual stores may operate on holiday hours. In fact, festive days can be especially lively (some restaurants decorate or host special holiday menus). However, major events might modify hours (for example, clubs may close earlier on certain holidays). If you plan to visit on a major holiday, check the venue’s social media or call ahead to confirm. In general, it’s considered a tourist-style destination, so it welcomes guests year-round. Just note that during festivals, crowds and traffic might be heavier, so allow extra travel time.
Can I leave and re-enter 32nd Avenue the same day?
Yes. 32nd Avenue has open gates for entry and exit. If you walk out (for example, to get something from your car or meet someone), re-entry is permitted. Security at the gate will usually just wave you through, or may check a hand stamp on busy nights. Just don’t remove any food or drinks you’ve purchased when you leave (you can certainly save them for re-entry). One tip: if you plan to walk away, ask a staff member or guard to reserve your table or seats; many venues will hold it for a short period. Otherwise, expect to grab a different spot when you come back.
What is the capacity or area of 32nd Avenue?
32nd Avenue covers roughly 1.5 lakh square feet of indoor retail and dining space, plus about 25,000 sq.ft. of rooftop and a 120,000 sq.ft. outdoor lawn (timesofindia.indiatimes.com ). There isn’t a fixed “seating capacity” like a hall – instead, it can handle thousands of visitors on a busy evening. In fact, the venue reports over 15,000 visitors on a typical day (www.32nd.com ). For planning purposes, know that large festivals or markets here can easily host a few thousand people comfortably spread over the open areas. Fortunately the layout is wide and open, so even at high turnout it doesn’t feel too cramped.
Are there restrooms and other amenities at 32nd Avenue?
Yes. Restrooms are available inside most of the main restaurants and cafes (e.g. Carnatic Cafe, Greenr, Piano Man, etc.). While there is no single common convenience area, staff will direct you to the nearest one when asked. There are also public handwashing stations at some points along the street. For other services: free Wi-Fi is usually accessible through the 32ND app or via each venue’s network; charging stations are not common, so bring a portable charger. A luggage or coat check isn’t available, so carry minimal belongings. You’ll find credit-card ATM machines in the nearby area (outside the complex), but none inside. Security and staff are on site 24/7, and there’s CCTV coverage. These amenities make a night out at 32nd Avenue convenient and comfortable for most visitors.
Does 32nd Avenue have a loyalty program or membership?
Currently, 32nd Avenue offers an app-based loyalty program rather than a paid membership. By downloading the 32ND App, you can earn points and redeem rewards on dining at partner outlets within the campus (www.32nd.com ). The app grants access to member-only events, priority bookings, and occasional freebies (for example, "first coffee free" promotions have appeared). There’s no formal dress code to join or fee to pay to use the app – just sign up and earn as you spend. If they ever introduce a formal membership or VIP scheme, it would likely be announced through their official media channels.
Can I bring children strollers or bicycles into 32nd Avenue?
Strollers are welcome and the area is generally stroller-friendly (flat surfaces, no steps). You will need to park bicycles outside the main gate; because it’s a pedestrian zone, cycling inside isn’t allowed. Some guests have noted that bike racks are available near the entrance, or you can ask security to hold your bicycle. Just like a walking street, bicycles should be left at the edge and the auto paths remain car-free. Children are free to walk through and strollers can be used, so long as they don’t block the pathway. Essentially, you'll treat it like a wide pedestrian plaza: families feel comfortable bringing young kids in strollers to stroll around.
Are there any COVID-19 protocols currently in place at 32nd Avenue?
As of 2025, all COVID-19 restrictions in India have been lifted, so 32nd Avenue operates as normal. There are no mandatory masks or vaccine checks required for entry. However, individual restaurants or events may still have some guidelines for hygiene. Hand sanitizer stations remain available at common areas and near restaurant entrances. If you feel more comfortable, you may still wear a mask indoors or carry sanitizer. Overall, visitors treat it like any other popular restaurant district – common sense and general public health etiquette prevail.
Is smoking allowed at 32nd Avenue?
Smoking is prohibited within the indoor areas of all establishments and main street of 32nd Avenue. It is only allowed in designated outdoor zones, if any. Guests have reported that smoking is generally not permitted except at seat-outs clearly marked for that purpose. In other words, treat 32nd Avenue as a smoke-free environment; step to an approved outdoor corner if you wish to light up. Note that this aligns with Indian laws on smoking in public places.
Any items or behaviors prohibited at 32nd Avenue?
Aside from no outside alcohol or food (except water), most normal outdoor behavior is fine. Public drunkenness or disorderly conduct is not tolerated (security will intervene). Illegal substances are strictly banned (Vietnamese coffee stalls aside!). Also, large backpacks or luggage may be scanned by guards for security. One reviewed visitor complained about being stopped for video-recording a meal without permission. While informal photos are allowed, it’s polite to avoid loud filming inside restaurants. Beyond those, normal rules of civility apply: keep noise reasonable and dispose of trash properly (bins are placed around the plaza).
What kind of clothing is typical at 32nd Avenue?
Visitors usually dress smart-casual. Men often wear collared shirts or polo shirts, paired with jeans or chinos. Women might wear dresses, skirts or stylish tops with slacks. Because it’s a trend-conscious crowd, many guests dress “up” a bit more than average streetwear. That said, it’s perfectly fine to wear neat casual attire (everyone from T-shirts to kurtas seen). Avoid very casual items like flip-flops or beachwear if you plan on entering the upscale restaurants at night. Layering is wise: evening temperatures can drop, especially during winter months.
Can I bring in outside food or drinks?
No. Since 32nd Avenue is fundamentally a dining destination, outside food or drinks are not permitted beyond personal water bottles. All the cafes and restaurants expect you to purchase their menu items. If you have dietary restrictions, it’s fine to bring a small snack for a child or emergency, but openly consuming a meal from outside restaurants in the plaza is discouraged. Security may check bags for large items. Water bottles are allowed (though vendors sell bottled water here). In any case, plan to indulge in the local offerings – there’s a huge variety on site for any craving.
Does 32nd Avenue have its own app or membership program?
Yes. 32nd Avenue has a mobile app called the 32ND App. It’s free to download and lets you book tables, receive loyalty rewards and get the latest news on events (www.32nd.com ). Using the app, you earn points when you spend at partner outlets within the campus, redeemable for free dishes or drinks. The app also gives you VIP access to member-only events. There is no separate paid membership; the benefits are earned through the app’s rewards system.
Can I bring strollers, wheelchairs or bikes?
Yes, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome, as the entire venue is step-free. Pushchairs can be used throughout the plaza. Just be mindful not to block walkways. Bikes, however, must be left outside; riding a bicycle inside is not allowed because it’s a pedestrian zone. You’ll find bike racks near the main entrance, and valets often hold bikes safely. The rest of the layout is quite open, so maneuvering a stroller or wheelchair should be easy.
Are there any famous past events or celebrity appearances at 32nd Avenue?
32nd Avenue has hosted many high-profile industry events since opening. For example, media and fashion editors gathered here at launch parties covered by Vogue (www.vogue.in ). Stylish brand launches and designer pop-ups (Ka-Sha, Antar-Agni, etc.) often have big launch nights in 32nd’s spaces (www.vogue.in ). The Piano Man has featured well-known jazz artists. Local luminaries also frequent 32nd – Gurugram’s business leaders and Bollywood personalities are known to drop in. While it isn’t a concert stadium, it is noted for a string of buzzy nightlife and F&B grand openings (the Times of India profiled its reinvention in 2017 (timesofindia.indiatimes.com )). Keep an eye on their press releases and Instagram – any star appearances are usually publicized as part of big events or festivals.
