There are a few outlets which remain true to their substance and vibe in
the long run. The Beer Café is one such. We have been there a couple of times
and most of you must already be aware of the outlet’s offerings. But still we
feel a strong urge to review this one!! The
Beer Café has 9 outlets in Mumbai city itself. We happen to visit the one situated
in Lower Parel.
Brain child of Rahul Singh, The Beer Café is an alco-beverage restaurant
launched in year 2012. Ever since then, there is no stopping. Pouring 50+
different varieties (Erdinger, Hoegaarden, Stella, Shepherd Double Stout, Heineken
etc) of Beer from 20 different countries, the outlet has chains in various
Indian cities – Amritsar, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Delhi, Mumbai and a
few others. Started with a vision to stimulate communities towards a fun and
responsible drinking culture, The Beer Café is a place for one and all.
Talking about specifically the one in Lower Parel, the ambiance is
surely a treat for the eyes. It has a marine/nautical theme with boats, ropes,
marine quotes fitting in the background. The ambiance is mostly done in wood
work with one huge wall dedicated to the bar. For seating, they have high
stools, comfy couches and normal chairs as well. The place sure has a club
touch with nice music. They have live sports screening as well. Considering the
popularity, the outlet is full of people during evenings.
However, what we would like to point out is: There is a need to increase
the staff because most of the times we have seen everybody (we including) waiting for someone
to come and take their order & place it on time.
Well nothing is complete without good food!! The Beer café has a lot
going on their food menu. Ranging from finger food to platters to proper meals,
they have it all. They serve Italian, Thai, Chinese and Indian cuisines. On the
menu, they have mentioned the name of the country where the food item is
inspired from. Some of the interesting items being: Dutch fries (INR 175), Beer
battered onion rings (INR 245), Butcher’s plate (INR 345), The Hulk (INR 495),
Chargrilled chicken breast (INR 395) etc. They have a lot on cocktails &
mocktails menu too.
Moving on to What we tried:
1. French Fries (INR 165) – Nothing fancy but a great munching item
always.

2. Chit Chat Bruschetta (INR 195) – It was garlic bread little on a
crunchier side topped with cheese tomatoes, olives & basil. A great option
if you are looking for something to start with.

3. Chicken Platter (INR 325) – This was recommended by our server. The
platter had Chicken wings, Chicken sausages & Chicken kebabs served with
sliced vinegar onion & tomato salad along with spicy mayo dip. It was very
tasty and fulfilling. A must try item!!

4. Garden Fresh Pizza (INR 375) – Thin crust 12’’ pizza with mix
peppers, baby corn, jalapenos, cherry tomatoes & olives. Quantity of cheese
was like cherry on the cake. Try this one if you want to play on the safe side.
It won’t disappoint you.

7. Chicken makhani meal (INR 395) – A perfect meal option. This meal had
chicken makhani, (chicken tikkas simmered in a creamy tomato gravy) 2 laccha
parathas and was served with papad & onion salad. Chicken makhani was
creamier and a bit on the sweeter side.
