About Chevron
Chevron is a high-end lounge and fine-dining restaurant in the Gwal Pahari area of Gurugram (Gurgaon), renowned for its stylish design and vibrant nightlife. Set against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills and surrounded by lush greenery, Chevron’s exterior is “beautifully landscaped” and its interior is artfully designed to blend dining with entertainment (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ). The venue doubles as a nightclub in the evenings, combining continental dining (with Italian, Oriental and Asian dishes) and a full bar with live DJ sets and performances (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ). The menu was developed by Chef Martin Rozario (a veteran of five-star hotels), and he promises: “The food at Chevron will satisfy your taste buds … whether you are looking for a quick bite or a full-fledged meal” (food.ndtv.com ). Unique signature features include a central stage for shows (with a prism-shaped DJ console and large LED screens on the walls), a mezzanine-level VIP lounge, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems designed for an immersive experience (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ). Entrepreneur Keshav Bhardwaj (also founder of the Streamin’ Music Group) leads the project, aiming to fuse food, hospitality, cutting-edge technology and high-energy music into one venue (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ). By day it serves as a spacious family restaurant, and by night as a modern nightclub – making it a standout destination in the Gurugram dining and entertainment scene.
The interior was designed by Shikha Sharma of Hive Obsession. Every part of the ground floor has a clear line of sight to the center stage and bar area, so guests can relax at their tables or on sofas while easily watching any live shows (food.ndtv.com ). The ground floor is divided into a dining area, a lounge with casual seating, and a well-stocked bar. Above, the mezzanine houses a separate VIP lounge ideal for private groups or event hosts. Indoors, a powerful PA system and coloured spotlight rig can transform the mood from ambient dining lights into a late-night club atmosphere. Chevron markets itself as a “techno-themed” lounge, and indeed the central DJ console – an illuminated prism – can display dynamic visuals to match the music (drinksensemble.com ). An adjacent outdoor space is also planned for use on pleasant evenings, taking advantage of the natural setting (food.ndtv.com ). In short, Chevron matters to the local scene as a one-stop entertainment spot: it is one of Gurugram’s few venues to combine high-end dining with live music and club nights in a verdant, semi-rural location.
Events and Programming
Chevron’s calendar mixes dining and nightlife. From midday through early evening it operates like a restaurant (serving lunch and dinner), but starting around 8-9pm it shifts to a live music venue. Regular programming includes weekend DJ sets, Latin or EDM nights, and themed parties. The venue also hosts occasional headline concerts and album launch events. For example, in November 2021 the popular Delhi rap duo Seedhe Maut performed at Chevron on their “न Tour” in Gurgaon (an all-ages show with tickets sold online) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Other events might feature local indie bands, Bollywood tribute nights, or electronic music nights curated by Streamin’ Music Group. The in-house “Musical Friday Night” series is advertised on event sites, promising party music late into the evening each weekend. Because it’s still a relatively new venue (opening around 2020), Chevron tends to offer niche and emerging acts rather than very big-name concerts. Recurring attractions include themed brunches or “wireless lunches” on weekends, DJ nights, and promotional gigs on holiday weekends.
While most regular nights at Chevron don’t require tickets (entry is often open to diners or a small cover charge), special concerts and major events are ticketed. These tickets have ranged from a few hundred rupees upwards, often with an additional mandatory cover charge at the door. For example, Seedhe Maut’s entry was ₹500 cover collected at the venue (www.ticketfairy.com ). Typically, ticket prices for a live show at Chevron might start around ₹500-1000 per person, excluding food and drinks. (For dining only, menus run on the higher end of the Gurugram scale – Zomato notes an average cost of about ₹3,500 for two with alcohol (www.zomato.com ).) Overall, attendees can expect Chevron events to be priced similarly to other upscale Gurugram nightlife venues, with the total cost heavily influenced by the meal and bar tab.
Notable past events at Chevron include both musical acts and cultural shows. Aside from Seedhe Maut, the opening weekend in 2020 featured DJ sets by BlareMob and others from the Streamin’ label (food.ndtv.com ). During special holidays (Diwali, Valentine’s Day, etc.) it may host themed parties or collabs with brand promoter nights. Though it is not a large concert hall, Chevron’s versatile space can host intimate rock, jazz or classical fusion evenings by arrangement, as well as private parties and even wedding receptions. It has also served as a wedding banquet (see below). Ticket availability varies: big public shows usually sell through online platforms (Ticket Fairy, Townscript, etc.), while lounge dining and private events use direct call-in reservations or partnerships with event planners.
Tickets and Booking
For public events, tickets are usually available online. Shows at Chevron have appeared on platforms like Ticket Fairy (for example, the Seedhe Maut “न Tour” listing (www.ticketfairy.com )) and BookMyShow. There is no physical box office; tickets can only be purchased through authorized resale sites or through the venue’s social media pages. It’s wise to buy early for big events: seating and space are limited (especially once capacity restrictions are eased) and popular shows can sell out. Check the venue’s official handles or event sites for sale dates – tickets for concerts typically go on sale a few weeks in advance of the show.
For regular nights (trademark DJ or party nights), tickets are not sold in advance. Instead, guests simply arrive and buy cover at the door if required. In past events, a ₹500 cover charge was imposed at entry for age 21+ attendees (www.ticketfairy.com ). On holiday weekends or special celebration events, Chevron often enforces a cover or table minimum. The best strategy is to call ahead and ask if a cover is in place, and to make a dinner or table reservation for peace of mind. Reservations for dining and general seating can be made by phone or by walking in (though weekends can be busy). When booking a private event or large party (including weddings or corporate gatherings), confirm all details well in advance and get everything in writing – some visitor reports warn that last-minute changes to bookings have caused problems (www.tripadvisor.in ). In short, plan ahead for concerts (buy tickets online early) and for dining (reserve a table on busy nights).
Seating and Layout
Chevron’s layout is crafted for both lounging and stage viewing. As noted, it has three main sections: the ground floor (with the stage, bar and dining areas) and a VIP mezzanine upstairs. There is fixed seating (tables and sofas) on the ground floor, plus a standing/lounge area in front of the stage. When music is playing, the general admission crowd congregates on the main floor, so you may stand near the stage or at your table. The VIP mezzanine is for private groups and offers elevated seating with a birds-eye view of the performance area. The stage itself is at the center of the ground level, so most seats are angled toward it. Importantly, giant LED walls and side panels ensure the show is visible even from farther tables (food.ndtv.com ).
If you want the best view and sound, try to sit or stand on the ground floor near the center – either at a table facing the stage or along the perimeter of the main floor. The lounge area near the bar can also work well for fewer obstructions, though sound may be slightly bassier there. The mezzanine VIP section offers a full overview and better separation (plus its own bar), but it’s typically closed off except for large parties. The acoustics in the main lounge are generally good due to the venue’s design; sound levels tend to be loud near the DJ booth but balanced throughout. Avoid sitting at a corner or far back behind the bar if you want a clear sightline. Also note that because concerts can be loud, table seating is best for drinks and dining, while fans of dancing or moshing will find the front rows on the ground floor ideal. Overall, seating is first-come for casual shows, so arriving early means wider choice of tables or spots near the stage.
Getting There and Parking
Chevron is located in Prism Tower, Tower A (the commercial complex on Faridabad Road opposite the Golden Tulip hotel) in Sector 2, Gwal Pahari, Gurugram (122003) (www.zomato.com ). This spot is a few kilometers south of the Dwarka Expressway, on the Gurgaon–Faridabad highway. The exact Google Maps coordinates are easily found by searching “Chevron Prism Tower Gurgaon.”
By car, the simplest approach is via the Dwarka–Dwarka Expressway road and then Faridabad Road. There is reserved parking at Prism Tower and valet service is offered on site (www.tripadvisor.in ). Parking is included with your visit (usually complimentary), but in very busy times the valet may charge a small fee; watch for signage upon arrival. If you drive, pull into the tower parking and take the elevator up to the ground floor.
Public transport options are limited. No metro station is currently adjacent – the under-construction Dwarka Expressway Metro (Sector 54/55) is about 4 km away (www.magicbricks.com ). Visitors often use buses (Gurgaon Metro or GMRT buses along Faridabad Road) or a combination of auto-rickshaw/Uber from the nearest hubs. Gurgaon routes (e.g. 519, D-036) pass near Gwal Pahari, but they run infrequently (moovitapp.com ). Practically, most patrons arrive by taxi or rideshare (Ola/Uber drop-off is easy on Faridabad Road at Prism Tower’s entrance). If coming by metro from Delhi, get off at Huda City Centre or Sector 56 (Rapid Metro) and take a taxi south to Gwal Pahari.
Once on site, the entry door is at street level so you just walk in. As a Gurgaon lounge, distant night-time public buses are rare, so it’s wise to pre-book a cab for the return trip. Taxi and auto drop-off is allowed right in front of the entrance. In summary: driving is recommended for convenience, but if not possible, plan extra travel time for bus routes or rideshare.
Inside the Venue
Upon entry, you’ll be greeted by the reception/host stand. ID checks are routine on adult nights (see below). Inside, the atmosphere transitions from bright dining lighting to dim club lighting after dark. The ground level feels open and upscale, with leather sofas, bar stools and tables set around the central dance floor/stage area. The VIP mezzanine offers a quieter lounge space above, but it may be closed off to walk-ins. Restrooms are located on the main floor. The bar is prominent and serves a full menu of cocktails, beer and liquor. The food menu is extensive – past visitors loved dishes like grilled gyoza, Spanish crepes and a variety of international starters and mains (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ). Cheaper snacks and bar nibbles (pizza, sliders, etc.) are also available. The signature cocktails (watermelon mojitos, spice-infused concoctions, and a large wine selection) are highlighted by the bar staff (drinksensemble.com ).
Security screening (a quick bag check or frisk) may be done for concerts. Once inside, the vibe is festive and energetic on show nights, more relaxed during evenings without performers. Lighting is computer-controlled; when DJs perform, expect moving head lights and the big LED wall to be active, creating a real club feel. Sound is high quality and at club volumes. Smoking is not allowed indoors (the bar has a no-smoking policy). There is no cloakroom or coat check; you should keep personal items with you. Credit cards and UPI/mobile payments are widely accepted (www.tripadvisor.in ), and Wi-Fi may be available on request (though mobile data works well). Cellular signal is generally okay throughout Prism Tower. One special inside detail: the “prism DJ console” – an illuminated triangular podium – is a focal point and often displays visuals. On concert nights, limited edition tour T-shirts or artist merchandise might be sold at the venue’s pop-up kiosks (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Nearby Amenities
Gwal Pahari is on Gurgaon’s fringe, so amenities are sparse right next door. However, within a 5–6 km radius you’ll find several dining and hotel options along Dwarka Expressway and Golf Course Road. For pre-show dinner, consider the Continental/Mediterranean eateries a few kilometers north – for instance, Covah – The Cavern (Sector 43, ~5.7 km away) and Romeo Lane (Sector 56, ~4.9 km) are popular contemporary lounges (www.zomato.com ). The Big Tree Cafe (Sector 53, ~4.6 km) offers casual cafe fare (www.zomato.com ). Sushant Lok and DLF Cybercity districts are a 25-30 minute drive away and have many chain restaurants (unless you want to battle traffic, better to dine closer). Immediately across the road from Chevron is the Golden Tulip (formerly Ramada) hotel – its lobby lounge and restaurant are handy alternatives if you prefer hotel dining.
Bars are limited locally (Chevron itself is the main nightlife hub here). For later-night drinks after the venue closes, nearby Gurugram hotspots are far off (one would have to go to Sector 29 or MG Road areas). It’s usually easiest to head back toward home or hotel once the show ends.
In terms of lodging: there are few hotels in Gwal Pahari proper. The closest major hotels are along the Dwarka Expressway/Golf Course Road corridor, about 10–15 minutes’ drive from Chevron. For example, The Westin Gurgaon near the golf club and Crowne Plaza Gurgaon on NH8 are options for upscale stays. Budget travelers might choose Trident or Hyatt in Aerocity (Delhi), about 30 minutes away. If you have an early event, you may prefer to stay in a South Delhi/Dwarka hotel (to the north) or a golf-course-area hotel (to the east), then commute. In all cases, plan extra travel time on weekends. Given the remote location, we recommend arriving hungry because nearby eateries are not within easy walking distance.
What Makes This Venue Special
Chevron stands out for its fusion of technology, design and entertainment. Architecturally, it is notable as one of the first lounge/nightclubs built into the Aravalli foothills of Gurugram. Its layout (a vast, column-free floor beneath a high ceiling) and prism-shaped lighting console are distinctive features. The venue’s interior by Shikha Sharma has been praised as “artistic” and its ambiance “vibrant” (food.ndtv.com ). This focus on atmosphere – from indoor acrylic-panel screens to planned use of the outdoors – creates a “never-before experience” according to the owner (food.ndtv.com ). In cultural terms, Chevron has quickly become a trendy destination for people “from Gurgaon, South Delhi and Faridabad” looking to unwind after work (food.ndtv.com ). It also has a niche role in supporting the local music scene: by serving as the home base for the founder’s Streamin’ Music label, it regularly hosts musical acts that straddle English and Hindi markets (like Seedhe Maut), giving artists a cutting-edge platform. On the occasions that international DJs or fusion bands perform, it has offered some of the most advanced staging and acoustics in the region. Its existence adds to Gurgaon's nightlife ecosystem by drawing crowds away from the city center.
For performers, Chevron’s tech gives creative freedom – the DJ’s prism console can sync visuals to any music or theme, while the big side screens make even smaller performances feel cinematic (drinksensemble.com ) (food.ndtv.com ). This has helped Chevron host unique shows; for instance, it was the site of an unusual Hindi-rap concert on a Sunday night (not a typical club time) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Guests often comment that the high-quality sound system and LED environment felt like a proper concert venue, not just a lounge. The staff (bartenders and servers) have been noted for friendly service in reviews, further enhancing the experience. In sum, both artists and audiences appreciate Chevron for its blend of luxury (dining and cocktails) with reliable concert-level staging – something not common in suburban Gurgaon.
Visitor Tips and Information
Dress Code: Dress smart-casual. The venue enforces a neat dress policy (no shorts, flip-flops or loud sportswear). The entrance guidelines specifically forbid sandals or flimsy slippers (though Crocs-style shoes are allowed) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Guests often dress up on Friday/Saturday nights. ID and Age: Overnight events in the lounge are strictly 21+ and require valid photo ID (passport, driver’s license, Aadhaar, etc.) for entry. Wallets and IDs are checked. Entry Fees: If you’re attending a public concert, expect a cover charge (for example, ₹500 per person at past shows (www.ticketfairy.com )). This is usually payable in cash at the door on top of your ticket. On normal nights without big acts, the cover is nominal or free (but the bar and restaurant remain the main revenue). Reservations: If you plan to have dinner before a show, it’s best to reserve a table in advance, especially on weekends. Walk-ins are welcome but may face a wait. Reservations are noted as possible on the venue listing (www.tripadvisor.in ).
What to Bring: Bring ID and wear smart attire. Carry cash and card (all major cards and UPI are accepted (www.tripadvisor.in )). If you have performance tickets, bring printed or electronic copies. A small bag is fine; there’s no strict bag policy mentioned, but scanning staff may check large items. Good to Know: Chevron can be very loud during shows. Light ear protection (ear plugs) is advisable if you are sensitive. The AC keeps the interior cool even on hot nights. Restrooms are indoor and kept clean. There is no formal coat check – wear a light jacket or keep it at your table. The venue is wheelchair accessible (www.tripadvisor.in ), but you may want to call ahead to ensure the elevator is available and that a table is arranged on the ground floor if needed.
Avoid Common Pitfalls: Don’t assume dining prices are cheap; this is an upscale place (check the menu online or call to avoid sticker shock – roughly ₹500-700 per entrée plus drinks, i.e. ₹3,000–3,500 for two with alcohol (www.zomato.com )). On concert nights, arrive early (7:30–8:00pm) to beat queues and get a good spot, as late arrival may mean standing behind others. Since cell reception can be spotty outdoors, coordinate meeting friends beforehand or text while inside. If taking a rideshare after midnight, book it before leaving the venue; the area is dark and cabs may take a few extra minutes to find the entrance.
A note on Events and Bookings: Some visitors warn that large-party bookings can be tricky. One TripAdvisor review (Feb 2024) described a disastrous wedding booking where promised services (hotel rooms, ceremony location) fell through (www.tripadvisor.in ). This seems a cautionary tale: if you book Chevron for an event (wedding, conference, etc.), double-check all arrangements and contracts. For normal customers, though, this is rare. Language and Customs: The staff usually speak English and Hindi. Tipping is customary but not mandatory in the lounge; most patrons tip well for good service. Finally, please respect local norms: behave courteously, and keep noise at a normal conversation level when dining (the music is loud only in the club area after 8pm).
What is Chevron in Gurugram?
Chevron is a luxury restaurant and nightclub in the Gwal Pahari area of Gurugram. By day it operates as a fine-dining lounge (continental/Asian cuisine) and by night it hosts live music and DJ sets. It is noted for its modern design, scenic location by the Aravalli hills, and features like a large central stage with LED screens (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ).
How many people can Chevron accommodate?
The lounge itself is sized for small to medium crowds (around 10–80 people) at any one time (www.partykaro.com ). In addition, Chevron operates a banquet hall space in the same complex that can host much larger events – up to about 500 guests (www.partykaro.com ). So for a private party you could book the big hall, or for a regular night out expect room for a few dozen on the main floor.
What kinds of events are held at Chevron?
Chevron hosts a mix of live entertainment and parties. Typical events include DJ nights (electronic, hip-hop, Bollywood remixes), themed parties, and occasional concerts by bands or artists. For example, it has featured Delhi hip-hop acts (Seedhe Maut) and exclusive DJ sets in its early days (www.ticketfairy.com ) (food.ndtv.com ). There are also weekend brunch parties and holiday celebrations. Essentially, anything from intimate acoustic gigs to dance nights can take place here when scheduled.
How much do tickets or entry fees cost at Chevron?
If you’re only dining, there’s no ticket – you just pay your meal bill (around ₹3,000–3,500 for two with drinks (www.zomato.com )). For evening shows, there is usually a cover charge or ticket. In past concerts at Chevron, the cover was about ₹500 per person at the door (www.ticketfairy.com ). Special concerts may have tickets that start around ₹500-1000. Table reservations or merchandising costs are extra. Each event or date may have different pricing, so check the official event announcement.
Do I need to buy tickets in advance or at the door?
It depends on the event. For major shows or weekend concerts, it’s best to buy tickets online beforehand when available (Ticket Fairy, BookMyShow, etc.). These shows often sell out early. For a normal night out or minor DJ event, no online ticket is usually needed – you can show up and pay any cover charge at the entry. If you have questions, call the lounge directly. For guaranteed seating (like dining tables or bottle service), phone reservations are recommended on busy nights.
How do I purchase tickets or make reservations for Chevron events?
Tickets for music events are sold through online ticketing platforms (e.g. Ticket Fairy) or event pages. There is no physical box office at Chevron. For general entry nights, tickets are essentially walk-in (possibly with cover). If you want to guarantee a seat or table, you should call Chevron and reserve in advance. The lounge’s phone number is listed on websites (e.g. +91-8595254193 (www.zomato.com )), and you can book a table for dining or group events by calling or dropping in beforehand.
When should I arrive if I have a ticketed event?
For evening shows, doors typically open around 8:00–8:30 pm. It’s wise to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time to avoid lines and get a good spot. For example, a 9:00 pm concert would be best reached by 8:30 pm. If you are dining first, consider arriving even earlier for dinner reservations. Late arrivals may find limited seating, since the venue fills up on concert nights.
What is the address of Chevron and how can I reach it?
Chevron is at Tower A, Prism Tower, Sector 2, Faridabad Road, Gwal Pahari, Gurugram (122003) (www.zomato.com ). Google Maps will label it as “Chevron Gurugram” or you can enter the Tower address on Faridabad Road near Golden Tulip. If driving, use the Dwarka Expressway towards South or Outer Ring Road via Mehrauli and follow signs to Faridabad Road. If taking a taxi or auto, simply tell the driver “Prism Tower, Gwal Pahari.” There is no metro station right at the venue; the closest lines are several kilometers away, so most visitors arrive by car or taxi.
Is parking available at Chevron?
Yes. Chevron has parking available in the Prism Tower complex. Valet parking is offered (with attendants) and is typically free for diners and guests (www.tripadvisor.in ). If valet is busy, there is also self-parking for Tower tenants and visitors. Parking spots can fill up on very busy nights (especially Saturday), so arriving a bit early can help. If valet is available, they will park your car and retrieve it after the show (small tip customary). The parking area is well-lit and security is present, as indicated by user listings (www.tripadvisor.in ).
What are the public transport options to reach Chevron?
Public transit is limited: the nearest scheduled buses that pass Gwal Pahari village are routes like 519 or D-036, but they are infrequent and slow (moovitapp.com ). The closest metro lines (Rapid Metro Sector 54/55) are still under construction and not yet open to the public (www.magicbricks.com ). Practically, most visitors use cab services (Ola, Uber) or autorickshaws. For example, you can take the Yellow Line to Huda City Centre or Rapid Metro to Sector 56, then get a taxi south on Golf Course Road to Faridabad Road. Auto-rickshaws from Mohan Co-operative (Delhi side) or from Gurgaon’s Sector 50 are also options in daylight. In short, plan to travel by car/taxi and allow extra time; public buses exist but may take well over an hour from central Gurgaon or Delhi.
What is the seating arrangement at Chevron?
Seating is a mix of tables, lounge sofas, and standing space. On the ground floor (viewed as General Admission), there are tables and chairs around the central stage/dance floor and along the walls. Guests can reserve a table or simply sit wherever is free (dining first-come, party seating open). The mezzanine floor above is a separate VIP seating area (couches and private tables). During shows, many people stand or dance on the main floor near the stage. No formal tiered seating exists – it’s an open lounge layout. If you prefer height and separation, the second-floor VIP section offers a bird’s-eye view (though that section is usually reserved for larger party bookings).
Where should I sit or stand for the best view and sound?
For the clearest view of performers, find a spot on the ground floor facing the stage. A table near the center or side of the stage works well. Standing close to the stage yields the loudest sound and full lighting effects, but can be crowded. If you prefer to sit, any table with a direct line of sight to the DJ console is good. Avoid sitting too far back behind pillars or beside the bar (where sound can echo). If you like a laid-back view, the mezzanine level has couches that overlook the entire floor – though again, that area is often by reservation only. Overall, assume the stage is the focus: sitting slightly off-center but near it gives a balanced mix of sight and sound.
Is Chevron wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Prism Tower (where Chevron is located) is wheelchair-friendly with ramps and elevators (www.tripadvisor.in ). The entrance to the lounge is at ground level (no steps), and the indoor areas are on one floor, making navigation easy for wheelchairs. A wheelchair-accessible restroom is provided. We recommend calling ahead to ensure that there is an open table on the main floor (as the mezzanine has stairs only) and that the elevators are on service at the time of your visit.
What is the dress code at Chevron?
The dress code is smart-casual. Men should avoid shorts and flip-flops, and women are expected to dress neatly. Specifically, slippers and beach sandals are not allowed (though Croc-style shoes are). Jeans, casual dresses, and collared shirts are typically fine. On weekends and for concerts, many guests dress up more (think party wear). The rule is enforced at the entrance, so be sure to dress presentably to avoid being turned away (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Are there age or ID restrictions at Chevron?
Yes. Chevron is primarily an adult venue after dark. Unless a daytime family event is advertised, nearly all evening events require patrons to be 21 years or older, with valid government-issued ID. Entry is refused without ID. This is standard for lounges and clubs in Gurgaon, stated clearly in past event listings (e.g. age ’21+’ on a 2021 show poster (www.ticketfairy.com )). Children are generally not admitted to concerts, but they may attend for early dining hours if accompanied by family (however note that the music may play later). Always carry a photo ID (Aadhaar card, driver’s license, or passport are accepted).
What food and drinks are available at Chevron?
Chevron offers an extensive bar menu as well as a multi-cuisine food menu. You can order international dishes (Italian, Mediterranean, Continental, Oriental, etc.) as well as bar snacks. Popular items have included dim sum, pasta, salads, grilled seafood and small plates (food.ndtv.com ) (drinksensemble.com ). The bar serves signature cocktails (watermelon mojitos are a summer hit), spirits, beer, wine and mocktails (drinksensemble.com ). Prices are on the higher side (an average dinner with drinks for two is a few thousand rupees). Cocktails and liquors from premium brands are available. Kitchen service typically cuts off in the late evening, after which mainly drinks and finger food are served.
Is photography or video allowed inside Chevron?
Personal still photography is generally permitted, but flash photography is discouraged as it can disrupt performers. Professional video or photo shoots require prior approval (as with most clubs) – if you plan to film extensively, check with the venue staff ahead of time. During concerts, security cares mostly about safety than casual phone videos, so many guests do record clips. Just be respectful of others – do not use large tripod setups in the crowd. Note that during private events the policies may vary, so follow any posted instructions.
Does Chevron have a coat check or lockers?
No, there isn’t a formal coat check or locker service. Since the venue is climate-controlled, most guests simply keep light jackets or belongings at their tables. For larger events, sometimes staff may help by holding a few coats behind the bar, but this is not an official amenity. It’s best to carry only small bags or wear clothing that doesn’t require checking. If you arrive in heavy outerwear, you may just keep it on your chair.
Are credit cards and mobile payments accepted?
Yes. Chevron accepts all major credit/debit cards and digital wallets (UPI, PayTM, etc.) (www.tripadvisor.in ). However, it’s wise to also carry some cash, as small vendors like manicure are accepted. For cover charges or ticket sales at the door, cash is often used (₹500 cover noted at shows, for example (www.ticketfairy.com )). For food and bar payments, cards work fine and digital wallets are popular in Gurgaon.
Can I bring my own food or drinks into Chevron?
No. Outside food and alcoholic beverages are not allowed inside the venue. Chevron is a licensed lounge; all drinks must be purchased at the bar. Bringing snacks or alcohol from outside would be against rules. However, there is a full food menu on site, so you can order any desired meal or snack. The only thing you might bring is a personal camera or small items – large coolers or flasks would be confiscated.
Are children allowed at Chevron?
Chevron is designed primarily for adults. On nights with live music after 8pm, entry is generally restricted to ages 21 and above (per typical club policy). During daytime hours (e.g. weekend brunch or lunch), families with children are welcome to dine as at any restaurant, but be aware that after dark the atmosphere is that of a nightclub. If you plan to come with children, stick to early dining service and avoid the late shows which require 21+.
When does Chevron typically start its shows and events?
Dinner service begins around noon. Evening entertainment typically ramps up after 8 pm. Live music or DJ sets usually start by 9 pm or later, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. For example, one advertised event began at 9:00 pm on a Sunday (www.shoutlo.com ). Shows may go on until late (midnight or 1 am). If you have tickets, they will list a start time (and sometimes an opening act). For dinner-only visits, the kitchen may close around 10–11 pm.
Which hotels and restaurants are near Chevron?
In the immediate area of Gwal Pahari, there are only a few local eateries. However, within 5–6 km on Dwarka Expressway and Golf Course Road you will find several good options. Recommendations include Covah (Sector 43, gourmet continental) and Romeo Lane (Sector 56, casual bar/restaurant) (www.zomato.com ). The Golden Tulip Gurugram (Ramada) hotel is right across the street, with its own restaurants and bars. For accommodations, the nearest major hotels are about 3–4 km away on the golf course road – e.g. Crowne Plaza Gurgaon or The Westin Gurgaon, which are convenient for Chevron. (Downtown Gurgaon or IGI Airport hotels like Sheraton/Aloft are at least 25–30 min away, so plan travel accordingly.)
Are there any tips for first-time visitors?
Yes. First, always check event details in advance (date, cover, time). Arrive early to secure parking and get settled. Call the venue if unsure about dress code or reservations. Dress smartly and bring ID. Carry cash for cover charges. Avoid scheduling family events in the evening, and verify bookings carefully if planning a large party (as noted in a recent review (www.tripadvisor.in )). Finally, enjoy the views of the Aravalli hills – on nice days the outdoor seating (when open) can be a nice break.
