Hotel Le Golden HOTEL $$ (%5028000; www.hotellegolden.com; r from 1350; a) A reasonable choice near the Golden Temple, rooms are tidy (if somewhat squishy) and the rooftop cafe has squinty temple views. Newly refurbished rooms on the 3rd floor will be the pick of the bunch.
Oriental Lounge BAR (Sector 26; h11am-midnight; a) Below AB s restaurant (p207), this chi-chi lounge-bar is a most civilised spot to slow the pace. There s imported beer and mint tequilas, among other things, while the pan-Asian food menu has an impressive range, from glass noodle soup to crab cakes. Happy hour noon to 6pm.
Amritsar is famous for its dhabas (snack bars) such as Punjab Dhaba (Goal Hatti Chowk), Kesar Da Dhaba (Passian Chowk) and Brothers Dhaba (Town Hall Chowk), all with (mainly Indian) thali meals averaging 65 to 110, and open early to late. Brothers is the current favourite. Hotels and restaurants in the (holy) Golden Temple locale don t serve alcohol; elsewhere your beer may be disguised japan power plug in a napkin.
