Mumbai , a city full of hardlabourers ,gangsters , dreamers,starlets and millions of people who never sleep. This city thrives on speed and leads a very hectic life. A new cuisine is developing to fulfill the needs of the people in Mumbai which is the “Pub Cuisine”. Nowadays people are constantly on the run and tired so its mandatory to have a nice place where nice drinks are served ,good music is played and essentially good food is served. I would list down the watering holes in Mumbai which are a must visit and guaranteed that these places will show you good times. (The list below is in random order all places are equally good).
The Irish house cafe(at phoenix marketcity kurla,palladium mall lower parel and kalaghoda)
The people here are always in a good mood the servers the staff they always have a genuine smile on their faces which instantly lifts your mood .This place is extremely affordable during its happy hours which is 5-8 all days of the week. These people are very giving and they genuinely want you to have good time this feeling is evident in their portions.All of their portions be it food one or yummy cocktails are considerably large and their drinks are very strong ,well presented and contains lots of alcohol. A must try here is the Irish trash can its their speciality made of irish spirits and red bull. Another speciality would be the blue margarita lip smackingly amazing! Now when it comes to food they have wide array of foods right from burgers, nachos to humus and spaghetti. The must try here are the grande fries they make provide a perfect companion to your drink also you must try their burritos bowl which is amazing and little to the healthy side also for the health freaks you can have waffles which are freshly made (takes about 20 to 25 mins) come with lots of seasonal fruits. So if you want to lift someones mood this is the place to be if your lucky you might also see the serving staff put up an awesome performance.
Astrix (chembur).
If you love good music this is the place to be here they have the widest array of food and drinks. The drinks here are moderately priced they don’t have happy hours here but they have offers on each day. If there is a huge sporting event then they put up big screens for the customers to enjoy the must try here is their cocktail around the world, and their margaritas(they make a mean margarita).The reason I love this place they give unlimited cheeslings to have with your drinks. they also have the most awesomest and the freshest pizza and salads. For those who say salads cannot be yummy you must visit this place and you will be converted.
Hopipola ( khar and powai)
This is newest ‘it’ place in Mumbai trending everywhere. known for the welcoming environment of fun and games(literally), here you can choose from variety of games which you can enjoy at your tables with food and drinks here you may not get a stomach filling meal but you will get mouth-watering munchies. All the drinks here are to die for (only if the portions would be bigger). The pasta here is terrific my only complaint was that I wanted more. This place is really great if you want to spend time with your friends bonding over some childhood games.
Colaba social( colaba obviously)
This place is weirdly awesome , it is quirky ,cool and awesome all at once. It is absolutely impossible to get in here on weekends .It is bang in front of Taj hence attracts a lot of foreigners. This place has redefined pubs, the menu here being on newspapers and food being served on jail like plates they have a different way of serving everything. When on the menu you see a drink called the red pill or pill don’t think it will be just red and blue color alcohol, but be sure that it will have a pill or like when you order trip on the drip it will come in the hospital drip bag.Not only are the drinks quirky here but are strong and yummy but you will be instantly buzzed after having one drink .The food here is also very creative the jalapeno cheese nads are a must have here and also the chinese noodles. we had this dessert called the chocolate blood bath ,it was absolute heaven for chocoholics. Must have here are all the cocktails listed under social specials.
Woodside inn(opposite cafe mondegaars)
If you have been to one of the pubs in England and you want the same experience here this is the place to be . Classy, sophisticated, good ambience and good food this place has it all. A great variety for food and drinks served in such a way that you really don’t want to eat it you just want to stare at it. The serving staff here are particularly welcoming they will make sure you have a good time. The burgers here are the best in my opinion in the whole of Mumbai, hearty generous and yummy.A non vegetarian will feel spoiled by the choice given to him by this place.
