Pop Tates in Vikhroli is a little way off Hiranandani, Powai, and looks like an oasis on a large and fairly empty road. The place has three sections. The upper section is actually Timbactoo. The lower AC section is the proper Pop Tates restaurant. The outer, open air section is also Pop Tates, but a smoking zone.
Positives - good booze. Very good, and cheap during Happy Hours. A fuel vodka (obviously one of the cheapest varieties) tasted like heaven, and hit well. They serve complimentary cheeselings, which I thought was a bit "poor man" sorts.
I ordered French fries to go with the drinks. The waiters are polite - but their problem is attention. They love chatting among themselves. If 7 Up is available instead of Sprite, and you want Sprite, they don't tell you that they don't have it, they just nod and leave! The fries were well made though.
Another problem - FLIES. Yes, flies all around. They really need to do something about this.
Crowd is really good - very good in fact, given that it's the Central suburbs. A lot of cool, young office going crowd comes in in the evenings. You do get a seat even on weekends - I went on Saturday evening.
The outer section is great for boozing. The inner section for food + booze. Total damage was Rs 580 with Happy Hours. Very economical.
Overall, 3.5/5
