Gokul Bar & Restaurant

0.0

The scruffy old drinking den next to the Taj that everyone from backpackers to old Bombay hands still swears by.

A decades-old bar-restaurant tucked down a lane by the Taj Mahal Palace, known for cheap beer, basic Indian snacks and a lived-in, graffiti-scrawled interior. It's a social spot for drinks and food, not remotely set up for work.

5, Tulloch Road, off Colaba Causeway, Colaba, Mumbai 400001

A Colaba drinking institution with food on the side — fun, but zero workability.

  • Quiet

    Described as a 'dark, busy... high-energy' drinking den with dim lighting and smoke in the air across its six sections — not suited for quiet work (Tripadvisor, Mouthshut reviews).

  • Seating

    Cramped and communal

We last checked this cafe on 2026-09-23. Wifi gets worse and rules change. If you're sitting there now, one tap keeps the next person honest.

Did the wifi hold up?
Could you plug in?
Did they let you stay?
