The Kal bhairav is Senapati of Mahakal. So if you seek darshan of mahakal then you must visit this Kal bhairav temple as it completes the darshan Spree. You will get liquor in Prasad here as the Kal bhairav drinks alcohol as per the belief. You will find so many stores outside on the road which sales liquor.

Ganesh must be worshipped before all else all poojas are not considered. So before you take darshan of mahakaleshwar, visit bada ganesh and then go to kalbhairav temple as he is the gatekeeper.

Bada ganesh is just opposite of mahakaal entry. Very peaceful place and inside there is a version of Hanuman i have never seen anywhere else.
