The 22 best bars and drinks in Panjim

This review was long due, really old pictures but so is this place😅 Really love this spot, it’s a little small but so cozy and preserves the olden Goa vibe perfectly. Innovative drinks choice, would definitely recommend the ‘Tambde Rosa’. The service is also real nice, I was offered a flower which was so sweet. The food is very delicious, fresh pao is served with every gravy and the masala’s are yummy. I’ve not been here in a long time but have recommended this place to all my friends who visit Goa and they love it. A definite must visit if you’re on a trip to Goa

Joseph Bar is a true Fontainhas institution. Stepping into this tiny, rustic tavern feels like you're getting a genuine, unvarnished piece of Panjim's history. It’s small, unpretentious, and perfectly embodies that old-school Goan charm. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, and you'll find a great mix of locals and tourists all crammed in together, which makes for some fun conversations. The drinks menu offers a good selection of local spirits, though I must admit, as someone who isn't a fan of feni, the popular Tambde Rosa cocktail wasn't quite for me. However, don't let that deter you! There are plenty of other options, including various local craft beers and other spirits, to enjoy. While the space can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, that's also part of its charm. My only reason for not giving it a perfect five stars is the sometimes cramped conditions and my personal taste leaning away from their most famous cocktail, but honestly, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers is part of the experience. Come here for a unique, authentic experience and a real taste of local Goan life. You'll definitely soak in the atmosphere.

This place is one of the oldest bars, yet it has a very cozy vibe. There’s usually a long queue, but it’s totally worth the wait. My husband and I absolutely loved the experience. The chicken chilly (semi-gravy with pav bread) was outstanding — delicious, flavorful, and quite different from the usual ones we’ve tried. We also tried Tamde Rosa and Mango Chilly Fenny. Personally, I didn’t enjoy them much, but my husband really liked them — so I guess it depends on individual taste. He had tried the Mango Chilly Fenny earlier, and this time, the flavor felt a bit different from before.

Josephs Bar is one of the oldest in Goa and requires a visit , however do be prepared for waiting period to get a table unless u reach early and a cover nominal cover charge we paid Rs400 per person. However once inside and seated it's a different world , old vintage goan vibes like time stopped and I liked the non fancy bar food and service . We had to try the cocktails here so ordered Mango chilli feni cocktail which I found too sweet , the Tambdi rose feni cocktail was perfect and I might have had to many 😅, no pork dishes were available that day which was disappointing however the squid masala and chicken masala were perfect the the goan spices fresh hit the right note ..a mix of locals and tourists makes it an interesting place to hang. Do visit when in Goa

The place has its own vibe. While the food options may not be diverse, it’s worth visiting for the experience. The ambiance captures the charm of fountain has beautifully. The drinks are well crafted and reasonably priced. Highly recommended for at least one visit to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy a good drink

Something very magical about the place and drinks are super good. I love the place I have spent half of my day at their resturant💗 also mr. Gundu is very sweet.

It's a classic place. A must visit for anyone who enjoys drinking. Their cocktail especially the one with Feni are good. The place has a lot of history to it. They offer bar snacks and the taste was really good for the beef I had.

A little dark for my liking. There was a great variety of beers on tap. The food is good for the price. Service is good if the crowd is small. Else can get really slow. Go early as there is little parking. You can listen to music from the 1950s onwards and get nostalgic with vinyl records.

Fantastic, quirky bar! Definitely recommend! Excellent beer (on tap!) and really unusual, tasty cocktails. Really friendly staff. Well, it's worth a visit. We didn't eat but wished we had!

Our experience here was amazing, the waiters are so passionate about what the restaurant serves, to the point where I was a bit scared to ask them to change anything but trusting their choice was such an amazing experience. From mouth watering cocktails to interesting yummy food. Even the ambiance was just amazing, a true food enthusiast has put this space together and it really shows.

We had an amazing time at for the record last evening! The place has a rustic and minimalist ambience reminiscent of Tokyo’s cozy listening bars. Vinyls from every genre are stacked all around the bar, and the place takes its music very seriously. They even have a proper cleaning equipment to remove dust from vinyls! Over jazz, daft punk, dire straits and the beatles, we had great conversations with the bartenders. The beer was great, the sourdough pizzas were outstanding and it was so nice to see how passionate the people who work there are! Shout out to Mani who took good care of us and even gave our daughter a plate of crunchy potato wedges on the house! Highly recommend the place and would definitely go again!

Quick Update: I had previously rated them 5 stars but it’s sad to say that the food is nowhere near what it used to be – flavors feel flat and the overall quality has dropped a lot over the past two years. The crab and egg pide as well as the prosciutto and melon pide were dry and tasted horrible, the tempura prawns tasted stale and lacked flavor. On top of that, the service has become noticeably slow, with long waits even when the restaurant isn’t busy. It’s disappointing to see a place that once had great standards decline like this. The seaweed and sesame potato wedges were the only highlight of our evening. The photos attached are captioned “old” and “new” to understand the comparison of my experience.

Went to this place not expecting much but ended up enjoying it so much. After a long day of difficult decisions, cognitive fatigue, crankiness due to sleep deprivation, I got to unwind here. From the drinks and food to the ambience and servers, everything made my meal there so enjoyable. Loved the mango sticky rice cocktail. It felt magical how so many flavours could be perfectly balanced in a cocktail. The sesame fries felt addictive and the choris pizza was fresh out of the oven and directly into my mouth. It wasn’t overly crowded and the music added greatly to my experience. The woman taking orders and explaining drinks was adorable. Definitely coming back here when I’m in Panjim next! ❤️

Hidden gem! Accidentally found out while roaming in the streets of Panjim. Quaint and cozy. Good food and drinks! Loved the vibe

Since 1985. The atmosphere at this restaurant is simply beautiful. The lighting is soft, and the decor is charming, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a cozy gathering with friends. The food was absolutely delicious; I tried the lollipop and special Goan chicken as well as fried rice and hakka noodles and it was cooked to perfection! However, I must mention that the service was quite slow. We waited a long time for our meals, and it took a while to get our server's attention for refills. If you’re not in a rush, it’s definitely worth a visit!"

We had a family lunch twice in one month and the food was simply delicious. Great service. It was monsoons and we had a security coming to the vehicle to pick us up with an umbrella I’ve never had this experience in Goa being a Goan. We enjoyed ❤️

Really amazed by the quality of food served. Every dish I ordered was absolutely delicious Ox(Reality Beef) tongue roast was just awesomeeeeeee. I ordered a couple of mocktails and starters, followed by mixed and prawn fried rice.

We stopped on way towards our Goa hotel at nearest Petrol station from Goa Airport and we enquired the staff about an authentic Goan Fish Thali dhaba style restaurant. Almost instantly.... 2 staff members and a driver standing nearby recomended "Sheela Bar & Restaurant" and what a gem of find it was. Fresh seafood cooked with basic spices to authentic perfection. Reasonable prices, huge portions and best of all.... Chilled Beer at rock bottom prices. Friendly service with charming smile was an added bonus. This one's going to be our permanent halt while commuting to & from Goa Airport in future.... Highly Recomended Food & Drinks Ordered (Pictures Attached).... ● Kingfisher Ultra Pints ● Clams Sukkha ● Prawns Rawa Fry ● Fish (Chanak Fish) Thali with Rice ● Fish (Chanak Fish) Thali with Chapati

We ordered Pork Vindaloo, Vegetarian Xacuti, Chicken Cafreal, Prawn Pulav, Goan Bread and Fish Fingers for Kids (as these are non spicy) Pork Vindaloo was nice and tangy. Other things are quite decent too. But none of them is a wow!!. None of them makes you wanting to come back to Sheela. We particularly didn't like the prawn pulav because there were hardly any prawns in it. Service was a big let down. Waiting time for rotis, rice was a lot. Worst is that the waiters are not trained, our fish finger plate costing 450, was taken away by waiter with half of fish still left in it, it was meant for kids who eat at thier own speed. A dish costing that much being taken away without even being asked for it totally not acceptable, basic training of courtesy and service has to be given. When we asked for replacement of fish taken away, the head waiter refused. Hence I'm rating the restaurant 1 star for service as they are just not trained

Great restaurant, Family friendly Excellent service by Mr. Aneesh The stuffed crab dish was a revelation for my son... Thanks

Well it's a vintage place with great sea food and view. You can order various varieties and simply a Goan thali also. Fish rawa fry and fried rice was amazing. Order your Beer and enjoy along. If you ar coming from

Absolutely loved my experience at Petisco. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care about making the evening enjoyable. The menu has a great variety, but the real standout was the barbecue pork — tender, smoky, and bursting with flavor. It was easily one of the best renditions I’ve had in Goa. Each bite was perfectly seasoned and had that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes you want to order seconds. Service was prompt without being rushed, and the team was happy to offer recommendations. Whether you’re looking for a quiet dinner or a place to indulge in good food with friends, Petisco hits all the right notes. Highly recommend, especially for anyone craving bold flavors and a cozy yet lively vibe. Will definitely be back!

Petisco isn’t just another place — it’s a soul-stirring celebration of bold flavours, quiet craftsmanship, and food that feels like a warm conversation. From the very first bite, this place makes it clear: they take their food seriously. The Petisco fried chicken here is golden perfection — crisp on the outside, tender and impossibly juicy within. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate the balance of spice, salt, and crunch. But the real surprise came with the Alsande bean tacos — never had veg tacos taste so heavenly. It’s rustic and refined all at once — a taco that doesn’t shout, but sings. And then… there’s the pulled pork sandwich — rich, melt-in-your-mouth meat that’s been given the time it deserves. Every strand is coated in a glaze that’s sweet, smoky, and subtly spiced — a perfect counterpoint to the softness of their in-house brioche buns. Speaking of which — these buns are a revelation. Feather-soft and buttery. Hands down, the softest I’ve ever tasted. What sets Petisco apart is their quiet attention to detail. It’s comfort food done with elegance, and soul food made with skill. If you find yourself in Goa and your tastebuds are in search of a memory, Petisco is where you’ll find it.

Dish names too fancy to remember any of them! But the food was amazing🥵🥵🥵 the squids with the coconut grating crust was so decadent. The squid literally melted it wasn't chewy or gummy. Whch showed how fresh the food was. Also the potato bebinca (yea dats wat I call it) 😭 was yummy with that gravy on the bottom and the chicken.. do net get me started with the chicken it was🤌🤌muahhhhh💋. The rice was yum doh the potato chips on the top were unnecessary but added a crunchy dimension to the buttery dish. It was amazing right from the presentation till the taste tests. And last but not the least. The BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE.. doh we were lik ehh how different is it gonna be from regular cheesecakes. It was. It was perfect the sweetness was very balanced not too sweet JUST PERFECTION! and that sauce.. if I wasn't in a restaurant I'd lick the whole plate clean-- (uh who said that?😳). It was a delightful experience. Also I love the fact their washrooms had sanitary pads too😭😭which is soo thoughtful of them. Love when women are understood and acknowledged. ❤️. Definitely worth a try. Must visit doh the menu seems a bit uk.. small (considering I'm a non fish eater- squids, prawns , crabs are not fish bdw they technically Cephalopods and crustaceans ). So yea if u love fish they have great options. Oh and vegetarians it's a feast for yall. 🤌 Even that ghas pus (basically whole green salad lik dish) doh sad looking in the beginning was the yummiest !!. I mean if someone cooked lik this for me if get in shape in no time😭❤️. They can make Eben the saddest of vegetables shine. I love this place

Had a wonderful dinner here, the food was delicious and unique. What I found commendable was the service, it was professional, courteous and polite. I had visited back in 2022, it's great to see that they have maintained their quality and service, would definitely visit again!

Pitesco Goa was an unforgettable dining experience. From the first bite to the last spoonful of dessert, every dish was crafted with precision and passion. Here’s what we enjoyed: • Fried Chicken – Crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right. A comforting classic elevated. • Hot Fish Goujon – Light and flaky with a perfectly balanced heat. Freshness in every bite. • Homemade Pasta Truffle Mushroom with Chicken – ⭐ Showstopper! Silky pasta, a rich truffle mushroom sauce, and tender chicken—this dish deserves a standing ovation. Truly indulgent and unforgettable. • Flame Grilled Chicken – ⭐ Absolute highlight! The smoky aroma, perfectly charred skin, and juicy meat made this a dish we’ll come back for. Bold, hearty, and deeply satisfying. • Caramel Richer – A smooth, decadent treat with layered depth—sweet, but never overpowering. • Barley Chocolate – Inventive and cozy. The texture of barley combined with rich chocolate made it surprisingly addictive. A special thanks to Rohan, the attending staff member, who ensured we had a seamless and delightful experience. His warm demeanor, attention to detail, and thoughtful suggestions truly enhanced our evening. If you’re in Goa, don’t miss Pitesco. This place isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory. Can’t wait to return!

Have always had this one on my list curious to know what Petisco means! And true to its name, it has lived up to its culinary excellence, both, in food as well as beverages! Being a Goan, it's a matter of pride as well as delight to see our local produce being so innovatively included in global cuisines. Ordered the assorted mushroom, lamb manakish, hot fish goujons, and pan fried mackerel, and not to forget the caramel Rocher! Combined with summer special cocktail - Jack n chill, and Goan twist specials - Dodol as well as Maroon Five! Super excited to see tambdi bhaji and bimla in the ingredients section and extremely satiated to have relished it first-hand! The ambience is just perfect to hang out with friends as well as family. They have a plus one upstairs, plus an underground seating! And the staff is simply super sweet!

A Unique Culinary Experience! Petisco truly stands out from the usual Goan fare. The dishes offered a creative twist on traditional flavors, making it a unique and memorable food experience. Every plate was thoughtfully presented, and the taste matched the artistry—absolutely delicious! The cocktails were refreshingly different and well-crafted, adding to the charm. The desserts were simply yummy! Also, a good choice for vegetarians—the options were well-curated and just as flavorful. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore a unique cuisine with a twist. A must visit if in Goa.

Food was incredible and so were the drinks. We went there for my brother’s birthday and the service was incredible. Simran was so lovely, she recommended the best drinks and food. She also got us a surprise birthday dessert which was really nice of her. Overall 10/10 food, service, ambience, drinks and people. Would recommend this place if you’re in Goa.

Miguel’s was on my list to visit in Goa - SO glad I made it. Great cocktails (I wish they had some more options though). And the vibe was AMAZING! Great crowd and music. Had the best time here. The service was great and staff were kind to help get our drinks and take orders amidst the crowds. Can’t wait to visit whenever I’m in Goa next.

Voted as One of the best bars in India and it shows. The service and ambience is impeccable. And so is the cocktails and food. Extremely sophisticated yet balanced. They recommend you the right things!

Easily our best meal over three days in Goa! We came in on a recommendation for an early dinner with our young kids and it was fantastic. The staff was so warm and welcoming and every dish was incredible. Great cuisine for grown ups and little ones alike, plus excellent cocktails.

This is a must visit restaurant in the heart of Panjim. They have superb fusion cuisine and drinks with delicacies from Portugal, Brazil and South America. It was a great opportunity to enjoy Maderian Poncha which one doesn’t get easily. All the dishes we had were delicious and one could feel that the chef and the team had made special efforts in preparations! We were served by Simran, a very polite, pleasant and knowledgeable hostess. Overall full marks to Miguel’s all team members!

Best restaurant I’ve been to in India (golden triangle + Goa). Vibes are impeccable. The tomato tartare is one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time (coming from an NYC native). Came during a pop-up which was fun but unfortunately couldn’t access all items on their expansive and delicious sounding menu. Got the cornetto/cone for dessert 11/10 must get.

Miguel's Cocktail Bar in Goa is a gem for cocktail enthusiasts. The friendly and pleasant service coupled with an eclectic food menu makes it an ideal spot for hanging out with friends. It's advisable to book a table as the place tends to get busy. The ambiance is unobtrusive and friendly, with the added delight of an open kitchen where chefs showcase their skills. Watching the magic of cooking and plating adds to the experience. The passionate bartenders not only excel at crafting cocktails from the menu but are also eager to concoct something unique. Live music enhances the atmosphere, and being located in Fontaine's area amidst beautiful architecture adds to the charm, especially since it's housed in an old historical building. Overall, Miguel's Cocktail Bar offers a delightful blend of great drinks, food, ambiance, and entertainment.

100% recommend! By far my most favourite place in Panjim. Not a single thing was bad, or even average- everything was outstanding! Cocktails were delicious and boozy. Purple rain was lovely. We also got the chicken skewers, balchao fish and beef stir fry. We were very kindly helped by Roshan, he was so sweet and helped us pick the best items from the menu. I am so glad this place exists. Thank you and I cannot wait to visit again! :)

Okay so Antonio@31 was something I was unaware of until I visited the place last night. It’s a great cozy place to vibe with your friends or go on a date to. We tried the chicken and the bone marrow! Everything was great. Now if you’re not a fan of bone marrow, it can be a little rich for your taste (fair warning).

A friend took us there for a dinner, tapas a d some drinks. And oh boy, it was a great visit. We ended up ordering Ross Omelette along with some other tapas and in a drink, Kaju feni. Have no regrets or any negative remarks, neither for the food nor for the ambience. I wish I could visit again and try their other tapas dishes

Fun Tapas place with a unique menu, enjoyed the rich Bone Marrow and the creamy hummus with Chorizo. The Baitfish were a bit over seasoned for our liking. Overall a great place with a fantastic ambiance!

The place is nice If you wanna have a small brunch or a very small lunch other than that the place is a little bit compact. However, they do not have much of a food variety, but a great experience if you’re going just for a while to take a break from touring.

Loved everything! The vibe is friendly and buzzing, the tapas are delicious and authentic, and the cocktails are creative, expertly made, and absolutely delicious. A perfect combination for a great night out. Highly recommend!

I had visited Antonio’s for the first time last year, but this time the experience was even better. Great food, the feni cocktails were amazing and a super cozy atmosphere with good music. A must visit in Panjim!!!

Not Recommended – Poor Service Miski Panjim is a charming little rustic bar tucked in the heart of Goa’s capital city, and it has so much potential—but unfortunately, it's let down by poor management and unacceptable service. We visited during non-peak hours and were the only guests there, which we thought would mean quicker service. We ordered a first round of Tambe Rosa (which, to their credit, tasted better than Joseph’s Bar) and a few quick bites. Sadly, this is where the good part ends. The server’s attitude was shockingly rude. Despite politely requesting to charge my phone (and seeing that he had a charger available), I was denied repeatedly. It was only after multiple requests that he reluctantly agreed. Even more frustrating was the delay with our food. We had ordered prawn wafers and waited over 30 minutes. When I followed up, the server dismissively asked, "Sachme chahiye?" (You really want them?)—as if taking our order was a burden. To top it off, he seemed more interested in scrolling through reels on his phone than actually serving guests. This kind of careless and disrespectful behavior is unacceptable in hospitality. We left soon after and will not be returning. Definitely not recommended unless there’s a serious change in staff attitude and management.

Tasty food and drinks served in a cozy, rustic setting. We tried the crumb fried prawns and bbq pork ribs- both really tasty! Decent sized portions for lunch but if hungry/going for dinner you might want to order a few more plates to fill up. Nice local craft beer available. Good service

I had an okay experience in this place, it has a vintage vibe but that's it...food was just okay, could be a place for just a grab a drink... hygien wise definitely needs improvement.

It was a very different experience at Miski, Community Bar. I have traveled to many places across India, and usually, the wall decorations have a similar pattern, nature, music, or paintings. But here, the walls speak differently. They display powerful and courageous photographs of people who have fought for the idea of democracy, who have stood up for the rights of the people, and who were guided by scientific thinking but silenced by anti-scientific political forces. We live in a deeply political world, yet when we seek leisure, we often choose to close our eyes, focus only on nature, dance, and parties. But here, even as we relax, we are reminded to think about the future of our freedom, of our collective well-being. I truly loved and appreciated this bold and thoughtful work. More power to such courageous spaces.

Tried tambdi feni which was kinda sweet. Had chicken and prawns as well, good food.

We had seen a lot of videos of this place and decided to visit here. However, the food and thr ambience was not good at all. We left after the 1st bite.

Walked into this place thinking it would be a chill evening. What I got instead was a crash course in pseudo-intellectual decor, overpriced drinks, and staff who act like they’re curating a museum instead of serving customers. The menu reads like it was written by someone trying too hard to be edgy. Quinoa sliders? In Goa? And they had the nerve to serve me a cocktail that tasted like cough syrup in a beaker like it's some kind of science experiment. Food was downright laughable. Service was slow and snobby.

Easily one of the best dinner’s we’ve had. We ordered the Burrata Salad, Beet Spaghetti, Not Pad Thai Prawns and Textures of Olive for dessert. This went beyond just dinner and became an experience we wouldn’t forget. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

It's a full-fledged European taste that makes you forget you're in India. Where has the chef been trained? Hats off. Never before has I come across this quality in Bangalore. I would like this restaurant to be opened in Bangalore as well. Come on.

Great joint in Panjim to chill on a lazy afternoon. Ample parking. We had the Lotus Stem, Mango Vietnamese Rolls, Not Pad Thai and the Veggie Burger. All top notch. Must visit!

Came here due to a recommendation from a friend. And needless to say it exceeded expectations. Mind blowing food, excellent cost ambience and top class service.

Very beautiful place, has a European cuisine. They only own Goa made drinks. I was curious and tried their pork pulled burger. It was deliciously mouth watering and their fries were on point. Thats when i know a restaurant is worth a return .

Beautiful place. Quiet and service is top notch. Great food. Goan with a twist. Parking is plentiful.

This is such an incredible place, been here multiple times and their food is always so good and it keeps changing based on the season. They have a great selection of drinks as well

We went here with our group of 8 people. This place came highly recommended but felt like it fell somewhat short of all the good things we heard. Maybe due to the rains since half of the place was shut down had limited tables very slow service missed orders. Overcrowded at some point even after reservations our table was released and alloted to others while we went for some jam sessions with the live band I heard the band 24k but i would say that I preferred the dj instead of live bands as the lyrics spoken were not legible and the sound was not upto the mark for live performances but the dj sets were fire

Cohiba Bar & Kitchen in Goa is hands down one of the best places to party! We were there for a boys’ trip and partied till 4 AM — the vibe just keeps getting better as the night goes on. The ambience is fantastic with great music, lively crowd, and perfect energy to keep you on your feet. The food is delicious and pairs really well with the cocktails, making it a complete experience. What I really liked is that even if you’re a stag group, you can still get in by paying the cover charges, which makes it super convenient. If you’re in Goa and looking for a place to chill, dance, and have unlimited fun with friends — Cohiba is a must-try!

It's an undoubtedly hot tourist spot ...hits the right spots bur it's like a Lil bit of Goa spirit is being eroded every year .... to be clear I have no complaints ..the music , service and food all were great ...and I had a great time ....if ur visiting goa it's a place u must go for an assured good time ....our server Sabinay was super efficient and awesome along with the whole team ..the French fries deserve a special mention and must try with spiced curry patta and chilly yummy .... We had the 3 sauce chicken which was succulent and tasty , I ordered sushi I have no idea why and it was quite good ...over all a great place to visit ..and last time I was at Cohiba the live music was awesome ..this time the DJ was great till bollywood started ...

Cohiba is nice place to hang out. Good bands perform on some days of a week. We were lucky to have gone to the place when there was a band playing. It was enjoyabe evening.

Had an amazing time at the bar! The 7 Notes band was amazing and was absolutely fantastic — great music and energy all night. Enjoyed every moment with friends, from the food and drinks to the late-night vibes. Perfect spot to chill, dance, and make memories! 🎶🍻✨

The vibe is lively, and the staff is quite helpful, adding to the overall good experience. However, when it comes to the food, it doesn’t really live up to the rest. The dishes taste quite ordinary and lack that special flavor you’d expect from a place with such a great atmosphere. I honestly wonder how it has a 4.3 rating on Google — from my point of view, it should be closer to 3.5. Everyone traveling with me felt the same way. It’s a nice spot to hang out, enjoy the music, and relax, but if you’re going mainly for the food, it might not impress you much.

Nice ambiance, highly energetic place, tasty food.

Café Mojo serves a blend of Pan‑Asian and Continental cuisine in a calm, family‑friendly setting. Known for dishes like Shanghai-style chili chicken, chicken steak in mushroom sauce, and Thai veggie curry, patrons praise the flavorful food and generous portions . The ambiance is pleasant, and service is attentive, though prices lean towards the higher side. Worth visiting for a relaxed meal, especially if you’re in the mood for a diverse menu.

I like it but the prepaid card they gave us to top up doesn’t really improves efficiency of their services. Only, maybe their marketing strategy. Food is delish to be fair and price is not too bad. Maybe a bit pricy compare to local bars but they have tons of monitors and music playing so its just fair.

A nice place. Looks like a British cafe . the ground level section has dance floor while upstairs was much interesting for me as it had pool table to play which I always think is great. The beer which you see in the picture is about 500ml for 400 rupees and you get the other free. Prior to that you have to make your card for rupees 1000 which you can further use.

Nice snacking options and ambience. For local experience try shot of cashew nuts drink. It is strong as vodka. Varieties of beer, including 1l of Hoegarden. It is possible to get beer from your table. Some people might get too competitive making themselves at top 10 beer drinkers list.

Cafe Mojo is located in Panjim itself and also an must visit place when u in Goa. The ambience is Irish, fish fingers is a must try and imported beer is available on tap l. Pocket pinch wise its not really a bomb just the Vat on alcohol is 22% all over in Goa. Wednesday's ladies night with complimentary drinks n as well comfortable space to jiggy 😃. Staff are very cordial as well with their assistance. On the whole its a must visit.

Good service. Went there for a late lunch. The food was nice and the place wasn't very crowded though small.

This place has got a quaint pub feel. Amazing decor, seems a little low on lighting but I guess you get used to it once you're down a couple of drinks. The prices seem dirt cheap as compared to any beach shack and this is a major advantage in itself. Check out the pics

Weekend scenes are party like Music till 4-5am Suggest: May shift slightly from continuous Bollywood music to popular English pop, EDM too for sometime to avoid repetitive songs

Sinq Night club in Goa is an absolute gem! The food was good, and the ambiance was serene. We had the chicken tikka with chutney, which were cooked to perfection and simply divine. The bloody Mary cocktail was a highlight, with just the right balance of flavors. But what truly made our experience stand out was Bartendar Pranay warm hospitality and amazing cocktail experience. He was attentive, knowledgeable. He even took some fantastic photos of us, which was a lovely touch. If you're looking for a great Bollywood music with stunning light show, look no further than Sinq. We'll definitely be back!

If you're looking for killer music with a great vibe, then check out Sinq night club We were so impressed and they clearly know how to make proper cocktails like Whiskey Sours and old fashioned . Pranay took great care of us, and honestly, the recommendations of cocktails and beverages was outstanding so for a great experience he the go-to bartender. Excellent food, amazing service and chill atmosphere Overall 10/10 vibe.

We had our one of the clubbing experience here in Goa and I would rate it a pretty decent overall package, the dj was good with songs, food was ok, vibe was cool and crowd was enough to feel like you're in a club but not overhyped where you can't even dance. So I had a good experience all an all. Plus the location is also quite nice.

We didn't stay here, but we attended the Night club, it's in Candolim, area was safe...and crowd was decently good. DJ was awesome. Entry for per person was ₹500.

Mist go party place specially if you are with your kids then they provide care taker for the although it was xhargable but worth giving , ambiance is very good if u like music and dance and wanna do clubbing tgen this is the place and one more thing if you want a 500rs discount in entry then you must collect from a pass (discount coupen) from thier road side people who giveaway the coupen for free that is actuly a disocunt coupen

Visited Sinq night club last night and had an amazing experience! Pranay, the bartender, was fantastic his bartending skills are top-notch. He crafted the perfect bloody Mary for me, and it was the perfect balance of spice and flavor. and if you are Bollywood with bigroom music lover. Resident DJs really knows how to handle crowd till 4am in morning. 5 star for music and overall experience. Definitely coming back for more great drinks and vibes.

The “wood-fired” pizza came out of the microwave. Finding hair on the pizza was the final touch. The bar has a great selection of drinks and beers, but unfortunately, I can’t say anything good about the food. We ordered two pizzas but received something that looked more like a fajita with ketchup and frozen cheese. The hair on the pizza was the last straw, and we ended up leaving most of it. The bar is worth a visit for a drink, but definitely not for the food.

The perfect Goan heritage Bar and restaurant with simply divine Music, delicious food, reasonably priced drinks and a place to let your hair down. Lyndon and Vivek are always present to make sure you have a super time. We have tried all kinds of cuisines at DTR. Amazingly fingerpicking good food. Keep it up Boyz of Goa ♥️🥂♥️🥂

Down The Road might be one of the few spots in Goa that actually has a buzzing crowd even on a Monday night—and credit where it’s due, the vibe was energetic, the music kept the mood up, and the crowd felt easygoing and fun. Everything else about the place felt like a letdown or a straight-up rip-off. The hygiene standards, for starters, are abysmal. The toilets were filthy and reeked so badly it felt like stepping into the slums of Dharavi. It's hard to enjoy a night out when basic sanitation is completely ignored. Worse, the drinks situation left a bad taste—literally and figuratively. I paid for multiple Jägermeisters and Red Bulls to make Jägerbombs, and despite being charged for three cans, the bartender poured barely one. When I asked for more to match what I paid for, I got nothing but irritated looks, like I was the one being unreasonable and he poured another half a can half-heartedly despite our bill clearly showing 3 red bull cans. It wasn’t just the Jägerbombs—ordered a full bottle of water and cranberry juice, and again, they poured out minimal quantities while charging full price for whole bottle. At this point, it felt less like a bar and more like a scam with neon lights. There’s also a suspicious sense that the alcohol might be diluted or even fake—something that sadly is becoming uncommon in some Goa joints. But for a place that pulls in such a crowd and charging a good deal for drinks, you’d hope they'd maintain at least some standards. All in all, Down The Road survives purely on the lack of good pubs in the neighbourhood and being more hyped than it deserves to be. Beyond that, it’s unhygienic, dishonest with its pours, and disrespectful to paying customers. At one point, a waiter tried to take away my friend’s drink while he was still sipping it. No joke—the waiter reached for the glass to take it away until my friend gave him a frown, at which point he backed off. If that’s not a red flag for how poorly they treat their patrons, I don’t know what is. Avoid unless you’re left with no other choice—and even then, be prepared to get less than what you pay for.

Food super tasty I ate palak paneer,and veg kohlapuri both was awesome . Enjoyed the live singing. Singers were perfect. Only one thing I didn't like that when I aaked them to sing hi di song they told that they have to take permission from management to sing hindi song. Why? Are we not in India?? Though they sang one hindi mixed song for me. Other wise vibe was topnotch.

Nestled along the scenic Rua de Ourem, Down The Road offers a vibrant blend of Goan charm and contemporary flair.The lively atmosphere, combined with the quality of drinks and food, makes Down The Road a must-visit spot in Panjim.

This place is full of action. Lyndon and Vikas manage the place very well, it shows a season player. Thank you for always welcoming us with open arms to your place. We truly enjoy the whole vibe, theres good music, good food, nice company. I would highly recommend this place to my connects. All the very best Down the Road. !!!

Looking for a night out any day of the week when in Panjim, then, as the locals call it, "DTR" should be on your list. The Food is on point, and service is excellent. There is entertainment every night of the week, like a live band on Mondays and other solo and duo artists as well. They have a very extensive menu. Choose dry finger food starters, or the Chinese menu, or the pizzas etc Whether you are with friends or family it's a nice change. A tried and tested venue for years. Very famous amonst the locals and tourists. You're always bound to bump into the owner with his cute smile on any night as he personally overlooks everything every night. This captain runs a tight ship

Confeteria is definitely a piece of Goa’s old-world charm — they say it’s about 100 years old, and you can feel that heritage in its aesthetic vibe and location in Fountainhas. The interiors are lovely and photogenic, but sadly the experience didn’t match the charm. I personally found the staff a bit arrogant, maybe because they’ve been running this iconic bakery for too long. The pastries too felt quite average compared to the hype around the place. It’s beautiful to visit once for the history and the aesthetic, but I wouldn’t call it a must-visit for the food experience.

The place is a heritage. But it doesn't live up on its hype and heritage when it comes to the taste. We tried 2-3 items and the taste was not good. The only decent item was the serradurra. Not a good experience.

We tried the Brownie, Seradura pudding, Chocolate Rumball, and Swiss Roll — and everything was delightful! I have to say, this place served the best brownie I’ve ever had in my life. At ₹120, the portion size is generous — easily enough for two people. The brownie is dense, chewy, and rich in flavor, completely unlike the airy ones you usually find in big city bakeries. Truly a treat! 🍫 The Seradura pudding (a Portuguese-style milk dessert) was also excellent — creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet, topped beautifully with crushed biscuits for texture. If you’re in Goa, Confeitaria 31 De Janeiro is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Authentic flavors, great portions, and wonderful value for money. 🍰☕️

They say that once in a lifetime you find a gem which you have been searching for all your life. This historic bakery turned eatery is one such gem. Cuddled in the arms of Panjim city, in the heritage site of what it is known as Fontainhas, the latin quarter of Panjim Goa. This area has an intervining network of small alleys and roads making it a site to behold surrounded by houses and residences with an old world charm. Interesting isn't it? This is the historic Confeitaria 31 de Janeiro bakery. Founded on the same day in the year 1930 which is duly marked on a board outside. They use traditional methods to bake stuff such as a wood fired oven(forn in konkani), it is a family run multi-generational business offering a mix of Goan -Portuguese and locally baked products. A variety of cakes such as plum cakes etc, sweets such as bebinca, dodol etc savouries and snacks such as beef patties, chicken/sausage rolls etc. are available. The taste of chorizo mini roll was remarkable. Though quantity of the same could increase. Also the seating, although limited gives good vibes (romantic) , the interiors is tastefully decorated with floral designs and vintage furniture. The mirrors strategically placed lifts up the mood of the place. Tea/coffee is served in the traditional blue and white coloured trays. Even the tile laced table has bordering tiles of the blue and white design. The centrally placed chandelier in the main hall is aesthetically appealing. All in all this place seems to have appeared from a Walt Disney animated magnum opus. (Pun intended) Ideal for all visitors and especially suitable for couples.

Confeitaria 31 de Janeiro is a charming bakery tucked into the heritage lanes of Fontainhas, Panjim. Established in 1930, it still uses its wood-fired oven to bake breads, puffs and Goan-Portuguese sweets with old-world flair. The ros omelette with poi and coffee was simple, flavourful, and comforting — a true local delight. We also packed a variety of cookies, especially the nankhatai, which were fresh and delicious. The place has a charming, old-world vibe — definitely worth a visit for a taste of Goan nostalgia. Note: It’s best to go early for full variety and seating is limited.

"Step into this charming cafe, established since 1930, and be transported to a bygone era! Despite its small size, this cozy haven packs a big punch. The vintage décor, Instagram-worthy spots, and warm atmosphere make it a must-visit. But the real star of the show is the bakery - serving up the best Goan treats that will leave you craving for more! From traditional bolinhas to delicious breads and cakes, every bite is a taste of heaven. A perfect blend of heritage, ambiance, and mouth-watering food makes this cafe a true gem. Go, indulge in the flavors of Goa and experience the magic for yourself!" Yes very difficult to find for a 4 wheeler parking ,one way road so better to park your vehicle little outside near church

A very small and a cozy cafe in the heart of Panjim. The owner takes the order by manually writing on her register and when she gives the food she cuts the item on the register. After you eat the food, tell her your name and she will tell you the amount you have to pay. This was pretty new for us. Food is decent. Rates are also ok. Overall people come here to click good pictures and eat something. There is a cat outside sitting always wanting food. Please give her some food if possible. Overall 9 on 10 cafe.

Club was average. Food is crazy expensive and quantity is very small for the price l. Alcohol is unlimited in the stag entry price. DJ was ok, not the best. He was always messing up when the drop or the hook music part of the song came.

The club had this offer for cover charge with unlimited drinks. But it wasn't clarified that food was not included in the charge and had to be paid separately. The staff was very cooperative. Helped us with the cake and blasts to celebrate our friend's birthday. The location seems too shady if there's less crowd. But good for being high. DJ mixes were impressive and created a vibe.

Worst experience and total waste of money. 1. The cover charge only includes drinks. 2. Drinks are served in plastic glasses, and you have to serve yourself. 3. Seating is with cheap plastic chairs, which feels very local. 4. They are listed on Zomato, but when we tried to pay through Zomato, the manager said they are not linked and Zomato registered them on its own. Very unprofessional service. Not recommended at all.

I feel it like a boring place, and main thing I always use to have mandrin flavour vodka and I ordered the same here but it feels like water here may be fake or may be water, don't know

This place is such a waste of money. It’s only pay more & get nothing in return. We were 6 of us who had high expectations of the place because we had visited this place few years ago but unfortunately ended up being extremely disappointed! Terrible place it’s too dark & shady! We had opted for the 10k package & we were not explained anything about the package in terms of food & drinks! It was only when we reached the place we got to know that the amount we paid covered only alcohol & food was additional! Even the alcohol had very limited options to choose from! Just imagine we stayed only for 15 mins and left the place! We also requested the staff to join two tables as we were 6 of us but they completely denied! I genuinely regret going to this place and don’t not recommend anyone either so that they don’t waste their money like we did!

The food and place is okay but the staff very very rude. While entering the place showing faces as if they own the place and they they wanna scam you by asking extra for everything.i highly suggest that not to go this place there are plenty of places to visit in vagator or Panaji.please avoid this place

Good service. Nice place to be with friends or family. They will give card for the entry fee amount n you can use it all for drinks n food. Crowd keeps increasing n floating after mid night on weekend. DJ could be better with regional touch of all Indian language latest songs to give the vibe to all crowd.

Mafia cocktail is one the most authentic goan restaurants best known for their various meats and sea food dishes. We had their prawns curry rice and muscles rawa fried, the food undoubtedly was amazing and their rustic ambience was amazing too.

Hospitable service, surely recommend it and most definitely will visit again. Loved the cuisine and the friendliness of the waiters. I heard it is run by 3 sisters. But anyway the place is really good to spend a good time.

Visited Mafia Cocktail with friends and had such an amazing time! It’s a beautiful, family-run local bar with a super friendly vibe. We stayed till 2 am, enjoying good drinks, delicious food, and great conversations. The highlights of the night — prawns, French fries, their trademark salad, and fish fry — all fresh and full of flavor. Drinks are reasonably priced, the service is fast, and the staff is super cool and welcoming. What made it extra special was meeting their two adorable cats (one black, one white) who added so much charm to the place. A perfect spot for good food, good drinks, and good times in Aldona. Highly recommended!

Mafia Cocktail is such a homely place. It gives me Goa back in the day vibes. The food portions are very generous, so order wisely. We ordered; Pork Aam Sol, Choriz, Prawns Rawa fry, Tongue Roast and Chicken Fry, Caramel Custard and SANNAS! The Chicken fry and Caramel is passable, but the rest were all show stoppers. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. My favourite was the Sannas! Fluffy little clouds perfectly fermented with Toddy! The perfect Goan Sanna. The next time we go, we’re going to try their Prawns Pulao, Beef Roast and Xacuti. A must visit! Ambience : 5/5 VFM : 5/5 Food : 5/5

This place serves some fire🔥🔥🔥 beef tongue/beef roast/pork amsol that couples brilliantly with their salad and toasted paos. The owner Tony is chilled out and the bar has a lot of character. It's been painstakingly filled with the most quaint curios and art and you'll find yourself dying to visit at least once a month.

The place looks very simple but if you go inside you will love it. People can order food and have drinks of their choice. If people want to eat fish from Goa then this place is the best. I never get tired of eating fish from here. One great tip is that we should order whatever we require at once only otherwise it takes a lot of time. The food is freshly made on the spot. They serve lepo, kingfish, chonak, xinaneo, prawns, beef tongue, beef chilly, chevrisa, bangda & much more..

when you see the place from outisde it gives you good feeling about the authenticity of local goan food but we were disappointed.....the place is totally rundown - not clean, not hygiene, food below average and expensive. Food - below average....we ordered prawn curry ....prawns very fresh but the curry was watery (pls chk the pic)...chonak rawa fry batter was not balanced (salt was less) and it wasn't well fried ...I was happy to see the red rice (typical goan) and the salad was good too. Service.- super slow ...we had to wait for 30 mins Price - another surprising elememt 30% higher then vinayak (best fish thali ever) or sanil (another fab fish thali place) we paid 1250 ....normally we pay around 850 ...so anotheret down

Just next to ferry station. Food quality is getting worse day by day and looking at crowd it can't be termed as romantic place either. Disappointed with food and very disappointed with waiters service. Service is very slow.

Nice location by the river Mandovi. Good food and excellent service.

Great food, view and VFM. Friendly staff.

Good Good but the service is vey slow Rather than that everything is good And the waiters were friendly too Best place to hangout with ur spouse I enjoyed alot

Not as nice as it used to be, it’s not really very well maintained. The service staff is nice and warm. The place has a great view of the river and the casino ships. Just a run down version of what used to be.

Nice place to hangout with friends. Food is good and reasonably priced with a nice ambience.

Nice food and ambience beside Mandovi River

Good place to chill and hangout with nice music. Food menu should be improved. Ambience is great here. Can go out with close ones have a beer and chill. Ambience: 4.5/ 5 Food : 2/5 Service: 3/5

Ordered Chicken Piri Piri and Beef Chilli fry. The Piri piri was saucy and flavourful but the beef chilly tasted just fine. Nothing extraordinary, to be honest. For drinks, we had ordered 2 cocktails - Pina Colada and Tom Collins. Totally loved the Pina Colada whereas Tom Collins tasted too much of Vodka that I didn't like it too much. The ambience is the major plus over here. The interiors are both quirky and vintage. The seating and many other things give away a total Portuguese-y vibe to the place. They have a separate open area where a group can lounge at during the evenings. You are allowed to smoke in the open lounge and the space has a carrom board too. Overall, big ups to the ambience and drinks. Food, not that much as they have extremely limited choice!

Tavern is just another pub in Panaji.... Jus like many others they too have live music .. the food menu seems lil limited but not the drink menu.. Boneless Chicken Piripiri is among the best starters you'll get here...Chicken cafreal is average... The ambiance is nice & cozy... Perfect place for a some drinks and starters with the right music in background. Worth a visit..

This place is located at Miramar-Goa. Cozy interior, modern music, food is yum and do try the brownie for dessert for bites try out chilly beef and beef burger!! Pocket pinch isnt that expensive-₹₹

Good experience. Good quality food and very nice service. Nice ambience as well. Good visit.

One should visit this place nearby Kala Akademi and Miramar beach those who love antique/classic collection of artifacts and that too with amazing bar to enjoy.

Nice ambiance, very well done, good place to chill after work :)

Again situated in the middle of city, this place is perfect for a get together with friends. This place has a variety of cousins be it north, Chinese etc. They also serve different varieties of drinks.

This is one of the places we visit for out late night food cravings. We dropped here at around 2 am. We ordered cheese garlic naan ( one of the best I have had ) it was stuffed with a lot of cheese. Crispy Chicken and fried rice were average. The waiters dint pay any attention to us even when the place was almost empty. We told them to clean our table so many times and then someone cleant it after 10-15 minutes. This place had ample seating and a attached pub.

This Place has been my Favourite since college days. I just love their Liver Chilly Fry. It's a must try if you love Chicken Liver. Also the American Chopseuy they serve is outstanding... It's one of my favorite ❤

You can never go wrong with food here plus it’s open post 12 AM if your ever hungry and wondering where to order food from. Tho one of the waiters kept playing a mix of half eaten songs which gave me a headache I asked him to stop it and play something better he did stop for a few minutes but went back to it. I’ve given it a 3 star because a restaurant should not only have good food but also Ambiance

Perfect restaurant for North Indian food in the centre of the city!!👌lip smacking starters especially tandoor dishes😋🍗🍤 Value for money!! Overall superb experience!!🤩

So our hungry mood gets us to our usual spot temptations to try a combination of veg and non veg. The food is good. Rarely will the taste disappoint you. But they need to start keeping pickle 😂 But when it comes to dining the staff needs to be a bit more patient and listen. One place where you can just order food late at night. Suggestion: Butter chicken, Crispy, Dal Fry

Food was Average not very great. Staff do several mistakes while billing not so professional. Atmosphere was good.

We were looking for an authentic kerala food experience in our Goa trip and we decided to give this restaurant a visit. I can surely say it truly blew our minds. The Parotta and Appam was so delicious. The Drinks are specially curated and hugely recommended. Huge shoutout to the Staff for really setting the vibes of this place. Must Visit!

Left speechless after the lunch at Chakos. It's like actually sitting in Kerala to eat ur meal. Everything we ordered was finger licking good. The staff was great very helpful. Very rarely you find the guy serving knows the menu so well. He actually knew what the food would taste and what goes in. I would definitely go back again.

Excellent Malayalam restaurant. They have some good cocktails in there menu. It's on the same street as Josphs Bar. The prices are on the higher side. The place is very clean and the washroom was also very clean. The service was fast and staff was also very nice

My hunt for Kerala food in South Goa wasn't successful cos either hygiene standards or food quality disappointed me.. Today I had lunch at Chakos kitchen and bar.. I really felt its authenticity..hygiene was good. The pork starters were appetizing The beef starters were good. Jackfruit curry was one of a kind.. Tasty. Appams and parotha excellent👍 The dessert was exquisite The owner was a great and welcoming gentleman. The complementary cookie given had a 👍👍good luck message for the guest. Wish the management of the restaurant God's wisdom and blessings to continue serving the customers .. May good wishes and favour follow them in every area of the journey. Thanks🌹

We visited on week day and ordered multiple dishes had a mixed experience at a restaurant. Positives: * Weekday visit: Less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed dining experience but service was a bit slow. * Beverages: Enjoyed the selection and quality of drinks. * Trivandrum fried chicken: A standout dish that was well-executed. * Beetroot cutlet: A flavorful and unique appetizer. * Chicken 65: A classic dish that lived up to expectations. * Curry leaf prawns: A delicious seafood option with a fragrant curry sauce. * Chicken roast: Good flavor, but the portion size could have been larger. * Appam and egg appam: Both were well-prepared and enjoyable. * Malabar paratha: A satisfying accompaniment to the other dishes. Negatives: * Pepper paneer: The flavor was bland, and the price point didn't justify the quality. * Paneer ghee roast: The flavor was also described as "just flat." * Chicken biryani: While the portion was decent, it lacked the authentic biryani flavors. * Allepy chicken curry: While not to your liking, it's like a thai cury. Overall: You rated the restaurant 3.5 out of 5, acknowledging its decent dining atmosphere but expressing that it's not your personal favorite.They gave free cookie as desert.

The food was good, we ordered 4 dishes , the thali does not give the wow effect. The moctalis is a must try as they use a metal glassware which gives out an amazing taste with the cold moctalis ( I tried Virgin Pina Colada) The Prawns batter fry and the chicken roast with Appam is a beauty. But the most wonderful aspect of this establishment is the staff, hats off to them 👏 👌. The staff is very friendly and very attentive to customers , if you want to relax and not worry about your order this is a place to go.

The food was truly authentic. We ordered the beef roast, ghee rice, chicken stew, and appam — everything was absolutely delicious and reminded me of home. The portion sizes were generous, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The owner was also incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even better. The drink selection looked really interesting too, though I didn’t get a chance to try everything this time. The interiors are beautifully done and add a lovely touch to the overall vibe. I’ll definitely be visiting again!
