The concept of BYOB or Bring Your Own Booze has been picking up pace in the recent times. Increasingly, you would find various players of the hospitality sector developing a niche for themselves in this relatively new area. Since the cost of a glass of wine or whiskey is charged with added taxes at luxury restaurants and therefore, a pain point for most customers. To cheer up the crowd and bring a unique twist to BYOB, The Weekend Wine And More has launched its new outlet in Ghaziabad. With two outlets spread across Noida and Vaishali, this is their third branch. The concept of BYOB is becoming very popular these days and this new eatery tries to define it with their own style. The brainchild of a young entrepreneur, Vatsal Goel is the man behind this idea.
The motivation behind this concept is to let the customers bring their own booze and provide them with a space to have a good time, especially during the weekends. We headed out to experience the launch of their latest outlet in Ghaziabad and hear more about their plans of expansion. Upon entering, all you avid drinkers would be amazed at the huge liquor shop at the entrance. Located in a far corner of the city, away from all the hustle-bustle, the place has a huge array of booze stacked right in front. From wine to whiskey, vodka, gin and tonic and more, you would be spoilt for choice. We were introduced to the concept and idea behind the place and given a tour of the varieties of drinks they have to offer.
