Gokul Bar & Restaurant
Colaba Causeway, Colaba · South Bombay
poor
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.
11am-1:30am
5, Tulloch Road, off Colaba Causeway, Colaba, Mumbai 400001
Workability breakdown
Not enough evidence: Wi-Fi, Power
Verdict
A Colaba drinking institution with food on the side — fun, but zero workability.
Where the scores come from
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
