Hi all members. I am new here, been lurking around for a bit. Have enjoyed most of the posts and appreciate the great information being shared by members. Alas, I have no information to share, only a few memories. Many years ago, as a fresh entrant to ranks of the gainfully employed, in what was then Bombay, I had found new financial independence and a wonderful group of friends at work. Having some money in my pocket and no responsibilities meant that weekends were special as we made rounds of the fantastic bars, pubs and restaurants in the city. In retrospect, Mumbai was far more permissive in those days than it is today. A walk down memory lane would not be complete without mentioning, in no particular order;
- Topaz at Grant Road, next to Novelty,
- Tandoor – Mahim, if memory serves,
- White house – Fort,
- Blue Nile – Colaba,
- Lakshadweep – Santacruz (also many other in Juhu area)
- In Thane, there were a couple of bars on route to lake via Pokrahan road which were very lively,
- Sunday – Vashi,
- Maya – Vashi,
- Dilbar – Lamington Road,
- Sangam – Prabhadevi,
- Baywatch – Dadar,
- Antakshari – Chembur,
- Sant Punjab – Chembur,
- Hotspot – Chembur,
- Omis – Bandra,
- Pingara – Byculla,
- Capitan – Lalbaug,
Most of these must be closed now or converted to regular restaurants. Times change, that’s life. Anyway, plan to return to the scene after a long gap, hope I will be able to contribute something worthwhile here. Do forgive the off-topic post.
