In recent years, Baner has emerged as one of the most happening localities in the city of Pune. The area is dotted with restaurants, cafés, pubs and clubs, making it one of the prime entertainment hubs in the city. In fact, Baner is now being recognized as the new Koregaon Park of West Pune.
Until about a year or two ago, Koregaon Park was known as the ultimate hub for entertainment and recreation in the city. However, with the transformation of its landscape, it is now Baner that is being hailed as that destination. From Koregaon Park to Kalyani Nagar, the crowds are flocking to Baner on the weekends.
