Had been hearing about this cafe for quite a long time. So when one of my friends decided to give a treat for her new job, & name of this cafe sprang up during the discussion regarding the venue, I was one of the very first to vote for it.
Located near kalighat tram depot , on the lane beside the Greek church, this one is quite easy to find. Named after the legendary music festival held in 1969 at Woodstock, this cafe is themed in the style of a music cafe. It's evident from the signboard containing colourful pics of musical instruments which hangs over the entrance. However as you enter the outlet you are sure to be disappointed. It's really small, I mean so small it's not possible to make your way without bumping into somebody first. That's bound to happen when an old house is repurposed into a cafe. This cafe hardly seats around 12 people in quite uncomfortable low repurposed stools. There's a second floor with a pool table too, but the stairs are fairly steep & the place is congested as well. It's better to seat in the ground floor. Also note, inspite of the small size, the popularity of this cafe among the city's young ones make sure it's full to the brim during the evening, & you'll have to wait. It's better to visit it during the noon, to avoid the rush.Coming to the décor the walks are decorated with band posters & insignias. Popular english rock & pop music is played over the music system. Surely if you have been a music lover at some point of time you'll find most of the tracks familiar.
As we made ourselves 'comfortable' we were handed the menu. The menu is quite extensive for place of this size I must say. We ordered the following items:

Butter Beer:
I'm not sure what Hogwarts has to do with music, but this one was the first one from the menu that we chose.Had heard a lot about this drink, so much so it seemed it is the signature drink of this place.Prepared with butterscotch , root beer, whipped butter & soda this one definitely is no alcoholic drink. However I could not really enjoy it. In fact before coming to the place I had planned to haves at least a couple of glasses, sadly had to limit myself to half a glass only.
Bacon & Chocolate Shake:
Chocolate milk shake topped with shredded bacon. This was a surprise! I for one never expected to find bacon in a drink. The sweetness of the shake was a stark difference to the salty bacon shreds. One of my friends liked it. But I do not quite like these idea of chewing when I am drinking. So in spite of its innovative taste I was not able to fully appreciate it.
Soan Papri Shake:
Well this one was what I loved. Quality soan blended with milk until smooth as silk then again topped with crushed soan papri. A great tasting drink. Enjoyed till the last drop. Definitely recommended.
Mexican Chilli Soda:
This one was ordered by one of my friends. She being a fan of spicy drinks & me being not, I only took one sip of this drink which I did not like. However others quite liked it & I will recommend this item if you are fan of such spicy mixes.
Pork Wrap:
The next item we ordered looked quite interesting. However the wrap itself seemed confused between crispy & soggy. To say the truth I would have loved it if it was any of the two. The filling however was perfect. I so wished the whole item would have been the same.
Godzilla Sandwich:
Now untill this moment the experience had been quite mixed one. Still quite hungry & wanting to discover at least one item that we can appreciate , we asked the server for a pork sandwich. She suggested the Godzilla Sandwich. We were sceptical since that was the costliest item in the sandwich section. But when it arrived on the table we knew that it was money's worth. Bacon, poached eggs with cheese, the sandwich was quite huge, undoubtedly tasty. Will definitely recommend this one.
To sum up the experience, the place has too many cons compared to pros for a subsequent visit from me. Small place, uncomfortable seating arrangements, not so good drinks. But....
In spite of all these things I am going to go back their. For the music they play, & for the Godzilla Sandwich for sure. From the look of it , the owners didn't seem highly professional hoteliers, but their prompt service, polite attitude & above all this initiative of opening a peace & music themed cafe should be definitely appreciated.
One thing that they need to improve upon is the presentation of the food, a touch up here, a touch up there will surely help.
Will visit as soon as I can,
Till then
Happy Eating,
Cheers
