Located on the main baga road of Goa, is this really catchy named restaurant that would surely attract your attention.
Widely based on their main concept of an open air bar this place is not only the hub for Indian tourist & attracts a lot of the foreign Tourist around.

This place has mild lighting all over this place, more warm & subtle. Along with that has good music playing all the time, music that is more soothing to your ears & too to kill your chilling mood.

They have a great menu for food as well as some great curated cocktails. They have tried some nice in house cocktails in their curation which were really nice.

They had sheesha too, which was just great & went well with the mood.

Such ambience places just work alot for people & surely make a visit again.

They have two sections, the upper deck & a ground level one. Both open air.

We would defiantly recommend a visit there.

A brilliant little place for all things food and drinks at Baga. Brilliant concoctions sometimes on request will make your day in the otherwise loud neighbourhood. The music is on point especially the karaoke and live music nights during the weekends.

If you are in Baga you have to visit this place. And if you are like me, then you will be visiting this place multiple times during your stay.

Must try - all the cocktails esp. beer cocktail the celebrated mixologist who is also the owner mixed on request.

Also the sizzlers!!

Last week I had a visit to the restaurant along with my friend. Unfortunately I forgot my mobile in the restaurant. I was worried aBt my mobile as it has lot of data in it. But restaurant owner has kept my mobile safely in his locker and handed over to me on next day when I reached the restaurant. I felt so much happy. Its Awesome experience and lots of thanks to him. Its not the matter of a mobile but the genuineness he had shown is really really awesome. Hattsoff and heart full thanks to him. Food is also yummy and u can enjoy the hospitality in the restaurant.

We did a quick stopover for a drink. Since the place advertises itself as a cocktail bar, we got cocktails. Also, because we were tired of beer, what with the copious quantities of it we were imbibing ever since we realized it's Rs. 30 a pint in Goa.

The Bloody Mary that we ordered was absolutely fabulous. We ordered a chilly cheese toast since it was late in the evening and we were peckish. That exceeded expectations as well.

It's a nice cozy joint that is easy to miss what with all the options around. I am definitely going back there next time for cocktails though.

Went to Phat Cat with a large group on our first night in Goa earlier this month. Ended up going once every day for the rest of the four day stay there. The food is exquisite-- the tiger prawn and  the tandoori red snapper were the standout dishes. The cocktails, superbly crafted by master mixologist, Suhail Virmani-- the most hospitable host in all of Goa-- were the highlight of the night. The band played some great music that had everyone moving all night long. Highly recommended if you find yourself in the area!

We had heard a lot about Phat Cat about being one of the best places on Baga street to have food. Chicken Peri Peri is what I was told is amazing. I did give this place a shot with my friends and the food was good . I can't say read great coz Goa offers so much in terms of different cuisines . Liquor is at a reasonable price too...

This is the first time I visited North side and this has been the best place till date. Phat Cat just never disappoints you. Amazing music and food. Seesha is blissful here, especially the Vodka Seesha. No matter where I'm put up in Goa, this place will be a must go! Cheers!

Your trip will be incomplete if you don't visit this place. It's worth every penny spent. The music is the icing on the cake. ❤️Rakshit Chakravarty

You never expect anything great from the restaurants dotting the busy Calangute-Baga road. However, I was surprised, rather thrilled to find a gem right amidst the chaos in Baga – Phat Cat Cocktail Bar & Lounge. As opposed to the number of shacks and nightclubs lining the stretch, Phat Cat is a breath of fresh air – where the focus is more on the drinks and food, instead of parties. Having said that, they do have events during the season, but they comprise of acts by live bands and the like. On other days, you have soothing soft rock adding to the ambience.

What best can you find in Baggha if you don't want noisy places, best food, awesome ambiance, good music and the best of all are the classic cocktails. If you are cocktail fan , you will get best old fashioned here, some other bar man secret cocktails are something to die for. To top it up owner "Sohail" is a awesome host, he gives attention to all the tables and suggests good combination of food and drinks.
You can actually spend whole time here rather than club hopping.
Don't miss it!!!!!!!!!

Phat cat was the change i needed in goa , starting from the cocktails to food , ambience and music, everything about this place is refreshing. I cannot pin point at the must haves cuz they have so much to offer in the menu and all of it is incomparable.
Special mention to all the vegetarians who are looking for proper food , you must go.
Music is great , ambience is cozy , very spacious clean and hygienic.
Staff and owners are very hospitable , they take special and good care of their customers.
Special mention for their lighting and ease of access .
All in all - you don't want to miss it.

It is by far the best place I visited in Baga beach. They had wide range of cocktails and food is also really good. The bartender/owner is the coolest guy I have met. He take cocktails to the next level. If you go there try "Jäger Bomb” and "Silver Bullet" these things are crazy.

Phat cat, is by far the best chiller bar I've come across at baga, especially when you wish to explore beyond the popular choices.
Situated on the main road just before the beach road, phat cat is hard to miss. Its spacious seating space and polite staff certainly adds to the peaceful touch you are looking for during your vacation.
Phat cat is known for its innovative cocktails, which are bound to appeal to your taste buds. A must have is the Mojojojo, my personal favourite, but do try ' Maid In Goa' as well, which has just a 'spray' of fenny, as the owner describes.
The food menu is extensive, parking a LOT of cuisines under its shade. You will be spoilt for choice. Italian especially is lovely, but Indian won't disappoint you as well.
Drop in at phat cat for its band performances, karaokes and the usual chiller nights.
Just sit back, drink, and watch the world go by.

Cheers!

It's a great place to be at in and around Baga. I went there on a sunday night and there was Karaoke + Dance floor. The best part is that the crowd is good. No cheap crowd. Their Hookah is really huge and good, great flavours. I am a veggie so I ordered Paneer Tikka and then Indian main course. Must say, the food is really good! Tandoori items are just great!! I ordered Cosmopolitan in drinks. Im very particular about my cocktails and the Cosmo was really good. Much better than many bars. All in all, no bad crowd (given it's Baga), good music, good karaoke, good cocktails, amazing food and sheesha.

So I discovered this fine dining place on my way back from curlies. I had asked the owner Suhail for some chicken tangri but he suggested me to have their malai tikka instead.In some minutes the dish was there and in the blink of an eye it was finished . It was so so delicious , perfectly cooked. Name their paper thin crust pizzas , the big lobster , the snapper all are too die for . The price is even compared to the quality of food they serve.The ambience is great with a very well mannered staff . Come to their cocktails the owner came 2nd all over India in cocktail competition and trust me he keeps the degree in each and every cocktail he prepares and suggests. Couldn't believe we ended up at the restaurant almost everyday for the drinks and food .All the best to phat chat. Until next time . Cheers....@deepjbarman, @adenmather,@colemather

Host was very good, we have ordered veg main course and if you are north indian food lover this place will not fullfil your expectations but in goa you can't expect more so i would say food is good in comparison of other restaurants like garama garam, kamaaki etc.

If you are in Goa, don't miss out to visit this place. I recently was visiting Goa and I was so confused with so many of them. So I decided to check some of them online and through it I found this place called Phat Cat. The name really interested me so I thought to clear my confusion and go with this place. Trust me, I didn't regret a single minute there. From the Service to the food to their sheesha and cocktails, everything was in place. They even had a live screening for football match and the place got packed within minutes. Overall Amazing experience. Also, if someone is visiting today, they have karaoke night tonight. Do let me know how it goes. :)

Being a foodie I am I always like to visit new places on the grid. Baga has always been known for its vibrant and chaotic atmosphere. Many places have come and gone in this chaotic lane, however this one is a fighter. Mr. Suhail (one of the partners and the host) informed us that they have completed one year and one need not wonder how? Let their food and hospitality do the talking. This pub lounge and food joint serves some wicked cocktails and scrumptious dishes. You should try their Maid in Goa cocktail, full of Goan goodness and vibes. The risotto was ok but the Lemon butter garlic fish was fresh and delicious; accompanied with unbeatable hospitality and friendly atmosphere offered by Mr Suhail and his team. I would strongly recommend this place if anyone is hanging around Baga!!
