South Bombay: cafes you can work from

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
