CHOGYAL
Hardcore Harley-Davidson Veteran
Veteran road captain whose vision was to carve out an authentic clubhouse sanctuary. Here, riders in dusty leathers and local patrons sit shoulder-to-shoulder with roaring classic rock vibrating through the timber counter.

The VIP Menu & Private Stash
Curated for long-haul crews and milestone celebrations. Rare single malts, reserve Bhutanese mountain spirits, accompanied by our legendary sizzler plates: fiery Shakam Datshi (cured beef & chili cheese), smoked pork belly bites, and crisp roasted skewers.
