I always thought Pasta Lane was one of the seedier parts of Colaba and was pleasantly surprised that it was quite a normal lane. Almost at the beginning of the turn off to this gully, is an almost miss-it -bar called Bootlegger.
Even though we went there at 10 in the night, it was dead outside and even deader inside. Sad really because the place had a great atmosphere. A huge flat screen showing ESPN, great posters of gangsters, a well stocked bar and fantastic music should have made it a perfect place to hang out. Unlike other bars which make conversation impossible, Bootleggers has music at just the right volume. The staff is friendly and helpful giving hints of how to get the bottom tile of Jenga out without toppling the tower!!!!
The eats were chalked up on the black board and even though there was great stuff like Red Snapper, we didn't stay for them. Frankly, a bar is no fun when it is empty and after the Jenga tower collapsed the second time, we beat a hastyt retreat.
p.s. I believe this is the perfect place for a Sunday night unwind though and may give it a shot some other time
I would go there again for a second time though, perhaps when it is more crowded................but for now, I'd rather have a drink at home.
