My brother raved about this place, so obliviously I was sceptical ;-) Anyways I tried it and was not disappointed.
First of all there is a restaurant on the lower lever and a pub/bar on the first level. I am reviewing the pub/bar and not the restaurant.
The place is a little small and almost always packed on weekends. However the crowd does move and if you are willing to wait at the bar for your first round, you will find a seating soon.
The ambiance is nothing to shout about. The place being small the tables are small too. But that’s keeping in line with any bar in Bombay. However it is appropriately lit; not too bright to kill the mood nor too dark to make it seem shady or dingy.
The service is quiet good as can be expected at a bar. You won’t have someone waiting on you, but once you order your drinks they are on the table soon. The bites however do take quiet some time to arrive.
The bar is quiet well stocked and unless you are planning to order something exotic, you’ll get your favourite blend. I am however not a cocktail person at such places and have never even glanced at what they have to offer on the cocktails front.
The region where this place scores heavily is the music. The music is excellent, especially on Friday nights. It is loud, as should be expected, so conversation although not impossible does take effort. If you like retro music this place is a must visit. The DJ does entertain requests and does have quiet a wide range. Having said that the place offers retro music, well it’s obvious that the place is not full of teens.
Lastly all although they do provide Valet services, parking is not hard to find on the road even on weekends.
Over all it’s a great place to hang out if you want to enjoy your drink with some great music.
Cheers!
