Based On A True Story

I had high expectations walking into the place based on the pictures but was let down by the upkeep of the exterior and interiors. They have a good spread of appetizers but I can't say the same for beers. They are 50% on the mark on cocktails. Would recommend their baby corn mushroom pepper and podi idli. Their milaga bajji had a cheese element which makes it a tad less spicy.

Their service is on spot. Their non-AC section which has the best view is filled with smoke stench. They were probably awesome once but needs a genuine overhaul

One of the most popular restrobar in Chennai. With its prime location near Bessy beach this place pulls more crowd than any other Restrobars in Chennai.
This place is mostly fully packed so better to book a table (No stags are allowed). They have AC-Non smoking and Non-AC SMOKING areas.
IPL SCREENINGS happen here and so book your table for any CSK vs MI match to feel the vibes😅.

They offer decent varities of beer and most of the hard liquor. We tried many starters and every dish was very good.
I personally liked "Pulled pork Tacos".

Finally, ended with some of their signature deserts and was satisfied. The staffs are very friendly

From Velankanni Church walk straight far 2km. At the dead end of the Besant Nagar beach, BOATS is located which serves you chill drink and food. Perfect in summer to chill down with friends, solo travellers and couples.
Menu here is limited but tasty, if you have membership your wallet is saved. Anybody with Rs.1000 looking for resto bar nearby a beach, just enter this place with an ID card. You can have a drink of 30ml (alcohol) for Rs.500, or 350ml/600ml of Pint/KF for Rs.500, along with any dish for Rs.500.

I just loved this place. Every Friday there is live musical performance, one what we could experience live and enjoy. We took a pitcher cocktail of 1000 ml capacity which is equivalent to 4 large drinks and is quite economical. Had a Korean chicken starter dish which was also very good. The ambience for boozing with your partner or friends is very well applauded. It is right besides Dindugal Thalapakakti biryani at Besant Nagar beach, Chennai. They have a outer section in the restropub where smoking is allowed and you can see the beach. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved the quirky decor, friendly staff and the delicious food 🔥 If you love mocktails definitely try Login to Bessy. It's the most refreshing drink I've ever had. The chicken tandoori platter was exquisite as was the Oreo caramelized apple crumble with ice cream. I'd literally go back just for the dessert.

Highly recommend!! 5star overall, 5star+ for service alone. I wanted to arrange a nice lunch for my mom on her birthday. I reached out to the restaurant through Google chat option, honestly I wasn't too hopeful to receive a response but I got a response quite quickly from Raghu, I continued to chat with him on WhatsApp. Well, what can I say, he took care of everything right from cake to flowers, from decorations to recommending options from the menu and beyond. At my request, he made his staff click pics/video and shared it with me. My mom is delighted with the special queen-like treatment she got :) and very pleased with the service. My parents loved the food and the ambiance of the restaurant. With all my heart I thank Raghu and all the staff members who provided service beyond expectations. I will visit you , the next time I come to Chennai.

I've always loved going to BOATS. It's a calm, soothing spot that offers every delicious food and drink you might want to have after a good day at the beach. Me and my friends visited the place around evening on New Year, and I'm so glad I went there.

Of, plus, the Beach view would be splendid if you go to the Balcony!

The staff were all polite and helpful, and they were prompt of course.

The food was delicious, completely fulfilling. We had cheesy nachos, fries, Mac & Cheese and more.

Our drinks were all served well with the right blend. My Long Island Iced Tea felt good with just a tiny little buzz.

I'd visit boAts more as I'm now so attached to this place!

Amazing place with beach view and good quality food. The restaurant was clean and service was super fast. The beef steak served with grilled veggies and mashed potato should deserve ⭐️ credit. The meat tenderness and taste was really awesome. We also had BOATS platter and chicken burger but weren’t satisfied with quantity for price paid.
