Muzaffarpur is a fun food-and-hangout city, but “pubs/bars” in the metro sense are very limited because Bihar has complete alcohol prohibition (sale/consumption of liquor is illegal in the state).
So, for most visitors, the best “pub-like” experience here means cafes, lounge-style restaurants, pizza places, tea cafés, dessert cafés, and hotel hangouts.
1) Hotel Paramveer – The Platoon Cafe & Restaurant
A popular cafe-restaurant style place for a relaxed evening with friends or family. Expect a mixed menu (Indian and café-style items) and a comfortable sit-down vibe, good for long conversations and dinner plans.
2) Cafe Balboa
One of the better-known “proper cafe” options in town for coffee, snacks, and casual meetups. Best for students, couples, and tourists who want a quieter setting than busy restaurants.
3) The Royal Phular
A cafe-plus-restaurant type place that works well for group dinners, family outings, and visitors who want a dependable menu. Go in the evening when the ambience feels more “hangout-like.”
4) Downtown Pizza
A well-known pizza hangout in the Motijheel area (inside DRB Mall). Great for tourists because it’s easy to find, usually busy, and works as a safe evening plan for groups. Try pizzas, sides, and dessert combos.
5) Cake Place
A solid dessert-and-bakery cafe option when you want something sweet, quick, and reliable. Good for a short stop between sightseeing and shopping.
6) FRESHLY BLEND
Best for juices, shakes, and light café bites—especially in hot weather. Works well as an afternoon break spot for tourists moving around the main market areas.
7) Arabica India
A café-style place people commonly pick for coffee/tea and quick snacks. Good for a calm sit-down when you want a modern café feel without going too far.
8) MBA Chai Wala
A popular local tea stop style place—simple, budget-friendly, and perfect for experiencing the city’s everyday “chai culture.” Great for evening tea, quick snacks, and a short break.
9) Hotel Atithi Gaming Zone
More of a lounge/hotel-hangout feel with entertainment. Good for groups who want food plus activities rather than a pure café. Best visited in the evening hours.
10) Chai Sutta Bar
A familiar chain-style tea café experience (you’ll see it listed in multiple local spots). Best for casual tea meetups, quick bites, and a lively crowd—usually more active in the evening.
Practical tourist tips
- For the easiest evening plan, focus on Motijheel and mall areas (more options close together).
- Ask about seating, peak-time waiting, and today’s timing before you go (weekends can get crowded).
- If someone suggests a “bar,” be careful—Bihar prohibition rules apply statewide.
