After a Mumbai city trip I ended in the Barking Deer Brewpub. From the UNTAPPD app ‘Nearby Breweries’ I found this nice establishment. As a Beer lover this is the ideal location to finish the day like this. I was welcomed by the friendly staff of this venue. The Barking Deer Brewpub has the right ambient for having a beer and food. Free Wi-Fi is available which is not always the case in India. I liked the music which was western style rock music. They are having a range of craft beers. From a Belgian White to a Chocolate Stout. My favorite Bark IPA. I suggest you start with a Flight (taste samples) and decide how you fill in your evening. Gregory the Brew Master himself showed me (even had a change to taste!) his new upcoming craft beers like an Imperial Stout and a Smokey Porter matured in wood chips. If you like craft beers this is the place you should not miss in Mumbai.

Very nice brewed beers here! The flying pig being their signature style of wheat is very clean, crisp and light beer , other beers are great too! They have a unique beer which has organic honey in it and helps the farmers generate more revenue! Pizzas are a must try! Loved the entire place!

From good food to amazing staff, the barking deer is one such place you must visit. They have this cool offer running every Wednesday after 10pm for female where you will get one coupon which she can utilize to order her any drink and pay the amount according to the date. Say it's 3rd of that month, pay only ₹3 for that drink. It starts after 10 pm and is only for females. Ambience is pretty cool.

Went there a couple of times with friends.

It has nice feel to it. Good ambience and service as well.

Friends tried Happy by Thirsty and it had a very unique taste.

When timing's not on your side and my procrastination habits didn't let me visit the Barking Deer in the past,I was sad. But talk about destiny that I happened to pop up here during their in-house brewed beers and gulp down their dine appetizers as well. Life's awesome 😎

I was welcomed with shots of their specialised brewed beers and each of them had a unique impact.
🍹. Happy by Thirsty
🍹. Flying pig Belgian wit
🍹. Going bananas hefenweizen
🍹. Happy kick-ass kolsch
The order of my top to least favourite of the beers I had here.

For the ones who will handle the steering wheel,the Mocktails can be tried are:
🍹. Cosmopolitan and basil Mojito. Very basic yet satisfying.

🥑. Falafel Sliders; For starters we had this chickpea based falafel patty all dolled up in mini burger buns as sliders and topped with Black olives and garnished with Coriander.
🌶️. Whopping Chilli Poppers; bellpeppers wrapped around cheese and jalapeno stuffing which was really good.
🍄. Late 'Shroomer Pao. Ok by pao I assumed the pav and Bao fusion and was expecting a fuller version of the three sided open bread(pav) but nah,it's just a regular pav stuffed with mushrooms cooked in spices.
🍖. Lamb-Er-Gini Pao;Gheez,the name caught my attention and so did the dish. A slight change tho,let the lamb cook for a longer while to elevate the taste and enhance the tenderness of the meat which will be juicy enough to blend with the dry bread and taste wholesomely great. Not a big issue though. Both the paid were served with mint chutney and colourful fryums.

🥘. The Farmhand Lasagna; Starting off the mains with a gorgeous Lasagna bowl. I'm in! Liked the flavours induced in here.
🎏. Fish of Fury Sizzler; My first ever experience of having a fish sizzler. Soft, succulent pieces of basa fillet resting over a bed of rice sever along with sauteed veggies and French fries. Highly recommended.

No matter how full you may be,there's always room for desserts. Because they go straight to one's 💓
Tier-A-Misu; The coffee based dessert served in a Martini glass with layers of goodness along with crunchy biscuits and topped with basil leaf making it look like a tiramisu plant of sorts.

The experience was enjoyable and I would try out their other cocktail based concoction as well in my next visit.

Till then, Cheerio 💗

This place is located at Mathura Das mills compound, on the lane parallel to Hoppipola. The ambience is cozy and warm. Music is good.

The bar section is on one end
where they also have a dartboard placed in the corner. What caught my attention was frames of humans, depicting raw emotions.

The tables are well placed on the ground floor, the level one also doubles up for events. (I have come here as a part of workshop twice)

What I ate -
1. Veg Thai curry and steamed rice. 
2. Mix vegetables sauce with steamed rice. The sauce was perfect. I was left wanting for more.
3. Caramel fudge and Chocolate mousse which were decent.

Overall,
Food : 4/5
Service : 4/5
Ambience : 4/5

As you enter the vicinity of Lower Parel mills you just melt with the atmosphere out there.
So I happened to visit this place located at the mills of Lower Parel where the business and the crowd here is a charm.

Ambience | was truest amazed with the ambience out here as the music is perfect to sit at the bar counter and have some drinks, I missed the dance floor here.

Hospitality and services| the guy named Rajesh did serve us he is very polite and gentle overall the service and the hospitality given to us was just amazing.

Beer which I tried|

🍺 happy by thirsty| to satisfy your thirsty craving this one is the best.

🍺 going bananas hefenweizen| the taste that of a old beer depends on person to person according to their taste buds for my taste buds was a bit bland.

🍺 flying pig Belgium wit| average taste
🍺 happy kick-ass Kolah| amazing super tasty 😋

Here are the dishes which I tried
🍔falafel sliders | mini burgers filled with amazing patty tastes amazing.
🍽 farmland lasagna | average taste as I am not that fond of Italian food
🍡whopping chilli poppers| just delicious.. chilli coated with flour and fries giving it a spicy taste.

🍷cosmopolitan | amazing fusion giving it a super delicious taste
🍸Tier-A-Misu| just a perfect desert with a perfect ambience.

For a fantastic drinking experience do visit the place and chose a seat close to the bartender

Good:
Nice place
Polite staff
Convenient location
Yummy food
Good music

Bad:
Lights too dim

Went on a Monday evening for dinner for a special occasion. The location is very accessible if you take Tulsi pipe road while coming from mahalaxmi station.

The place was entirely empty with just me and my wife there. The ambience was calm with music playing in background but I found the lighting very dull.

We ordered following items:
1. Falafel slider
Filling, very tasty and yummy. It's like a mini falafel burger.

2. Zen mountain sizzler
Typical sizzler, nothing out of the world. The rice was too less. Tasty but nothing unique.

3. Mucho Mango
Mango pulp based tangy drink. Smooth and soothing. Best if you are not in mood of trying something adventurous.

4. Barking chilli toast
Yummy chilli toast with lots of cheese.

Chill out place for some chit chat and relaxation with well crafted beer.
Music is good, not loud but perfect.
Craft beer- Bark IPA was not available fir which I was excited.
Had, kolsh ale, going bananas and Belgian wit, all of them were good.
Food is the only thing which disappointed a little bit in terms of quantity.
Menu and taste is good.
Otherwise, very chill place to hangout. Thanks.

P.S - Please change your glass for beer, its like we are having water or soft drink or something. Get a mug.

Food was decent and service was quick. Menu had limited option in food. Free 6 taster of beer for every table.

We ordered following dish:

1) Whoppin Chilli Popper: Stuffing was really good, green chilli could have been steamed little more. But stuffing taste ensured this dish was good.
2) Macho Nacho: loaded nachos with lot of cheese and beans. Nachos were crispy and good.
3) Missal Fonde: Must try, really good. Fonde was awesome and had spicy taste as misal.

Drinks:

1) Vodka gola: really cool and apt taste of vodka right till the end of the drink. Really good and must try.

2) Blueberry Sorbet: cool drink with good taste of berry through out the drink. Must try.

Desserts: Sizzling Brownie: Must try, brownie was awesome and hot chocolate made it more yummy.

Nice place to go out with friends. Finding this place can be little tough and u need to park your car outside and walk in.

Keep serving!!!!!

This place made me happy, but not super happy! We ordered the Blush Sangria (the quantity was very little) but their freshly brewed beers were legendary. Coming to food, we had the barking Chilli toast (which was rather BLAH) and the fish fingers which were okay. The service was very slow but the overall ambience was good.

If you are someone who is an avid beer fan and like to try new flavors this is best place to be. They are known for their own brews, may be not all will be as per liking but some of them are really good. There are few beer based cocktails also available.......
Apart from these all the usual drink and cocktails are also on offer if you wanna stick to favorites.

Whether the nibbles or main food fare consists of usual crowd pleasures. There are few items such as  (Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Bhavanagari Chilies (Unique Fusion), Fire Cracker Prawns, Pumpkin & Beetroot Ravioli are must tries.

Absolute must try --> Paan Panache (Paan flavoured Panacotta with white chocolate shavings and Beer based Tiramisu. Don't miss it.....

Staff is very courteous and service is very prompt. 

Ambiance is nice and only slight issue i had is loud music. however it is not deal breaker.

If you like the pub feel this is the place to be. The barking deer offers a lot more that just food and great music. Have attended a few screenings and events and have almost always had a fun time. We had a long week at work and we couldn’t think of any place better to unwind. A shout out to quickperks here the 15% off is also an incentive. We started the chocolate stout AWESOME !!! Though I stay true to king fisher this was refreshing. We started with meat mania platter , Chicken wings and the beer batter onion rings, stuck to their buffalo burger and their signature club sandwich for the mains and I have to say I was a little disappointed with tiramisu but after a meal like that one could say I was a little picky. The BONG of the evening – the Choc Stout.

This is my second visit to this amazing place. I had to delete my previous review on Zomato to make room for the new one. Had reserved a table at this place for a Sunday Brunch with friends. It starts at 12 noon and goes all the way upto 4pm. We reached around 1230 since it was raining and found little bit traffic along the route. Were shown to our table. Frankly we were the only ones. I enquired and got to know most of the guests will arrive only post 1pm.

Smell of the brewery, good food and some good music makes this place worthy enough to visit atleast once. Nothing extraordinary about this place though if you love beer, you have plenty of options for the same. I tried honey bee braggot and I really liked it.

What a placed hiding in the Mathuradas mills compound!
Great beers, especially my favourite stout! Blond and wheat were good too. Even one IPA was much better than many other breweries. Masala chai was bit watery may be to make mild?
Fiery prawns were so too crunchy with the fired flat noodles wraps (scratched my soft pallet) and not spicy as expected by the name.
Grilled chicken spaghetti was tasty and mild.
Good service!
I frankly believe this place should have had better ratings!

This Housecraft Pub is special, It has all the right things going for it. The selection of beers are amazing. The buffet has a lot of variety and most of all the service is legendary! 
The one I remember particularly fondly is Bark IPA and Belgian Wit (Flying Pig). 
I visited in the last rainy season and they had a great "Monsoon Grill" system going, where the Sunday Brunch had unlimited grilled food as well. 
They are marked as amongst the best Burger joints in Mumbai and they totally live up to that name! The beef sliders ordered were mouth wateringly delicious.

Can't pick out specific food items to suggest the good ones 'cause I've loved them all!

Being an beer enthusiasts.. I went to this place..
I could only find very few crafted beers..one of the better flavour I had was chai.. Merged well into beer but I couldn't really find the flavours i wanted..
Place is easy to locate and ambience is quiet good...
Place is really hyped just coz of social media..
When I asked for beers...most of them were unavailable..
Food is not really I would recommend..
When you claim to be microbrewery... Make sure you also pair the food with beer..

When I asked for new beers on tap and fresh brew ...I was asked to go for the beers in bottle(not fair).
Finally I went to tsingtao and bira..

I would want to visit this place if they come with new and fresh crafted beers..

The Barking Deer Brewpub at Lower Parel is Mumbai’s first microbrewery, the concept of which is slowly gaining popularity all over the country. A Microbrewery or Craft Brewery is a brewery that makes and sells small quantities of beer themselves, but not at a typically corporate and large scale – for purposes such as trade. These are mostly owned independently. Such breweries are generally characterized by emphasizing more towards flavour, quality and brewing techniques, also they can be differing from traditional brewing processes of Beer. Such places have more control over producing customized varieties and quantities of Beer.

Had to take our friends from Delhi for Dinner. Chose Barking Deer since the Mumbai Street Food Festival was on. The drinks were all amazing. The craft beers, Sangrias etc. and the best was the Bloody Mary, the spiciest and the best I have ever had. We ordered for Pepperoni Pizza, nachos, vada Pao. sev Puri etc.  My friends loved the Keema Samosas and the service was prompt. Enjoyed the evening out.

The Barking Deer Brewpub at Lower Parel is Mumbai's first microbrewery - here they brew small quantities of their own beer (not corporate large scale). Via this process they generally emphasise more towards flavour, quality and brewing techniques. They recently celebrated their Monsoon Street Food Fest 2017 from 23rd June - 1st July.

"Good Cause. Good Drinks. Good People."

During this one week, we were invited to their Social Enterprise / NGO Networking Night on 29th June, which was open to all. This was in collaboration with Under the Mango Tree. UTMT deals with honey (helping farmers with funds for the process of honey extraction) and in collaboration with The Barking Deer they came up with the Honey Bee Braggot Beer. 10% off these proceeds go to the UTMT Society - the Farmers in Gujarat and Maharashtra to aid the honey extraction process. In short, this night was all about drinking beer, binging on street food, having fun and being charitable at the same time.
The place in itself was packed with people and other bloggers. It had a very upbeat yet chill vibe to it. Very old world, wall arty, dark woody-rustic feels. It was set up quite informally for the event. The feel of the place set against the dim lighting, along with the stand up comedy and the super cool hosts all made for a very memorable night.
We were seated at the bloggers table and the beers of the night, along with their absolute specials from the Monsoon menu were brought out one after the other (in order) :

Honey Bee Braggot
Veg. Platter
Masala Chai Beer

The Honey Bee Braggot was of course the "beer of the night" and I don't just mean for the sake of the event. This was brilliance in a glass - golden-ey copper coloured brilliance. It's slightly sweet, caramel-ey, honey flavour and creamy texture will make any body start liking beer. (Especially those who don't like bitter beer) Definitely worth every sip! And you're drinking for a good cause.

The entire monsoon menu was basically bringing Mumbai street food within four walled comforts + craft beer. The platter consisted of -
Sev Puri: Its like the regular Bhaiya Ji ka sev puri has come indoors. With its khatta, meetha and teekha flavours very well balanced, this was a fine bite.
Pani Puri: This was presented super well. Shot glasses filled with a mix of the pani and sweet chutney and the puri with its filling kept on top. It was slightly cumbersome to eat, also not the best since it had gone all soggy. Not very well executed.
Dahi Batata Puri: On the other hand, this was a lot better than the Pani Puri. Taste and presentation both on point.
Aloo Tikki: A crisp, crunchy potato patty served with two chutneys - sweet and spicy. It was pretty tasty but a little hard when bitten into.
Vada Pav: A little uncertain about my thoughts for the vada pav. It wasn't the best, nor the worst. Didn't quite live up to my expectations of the typical, delicious, street vadapav.
Nonetheless, the effort to bring the everyday chats indoor for Mumbaikars is very apparent and quite a delight for those who don't trust the street food during the rains. You sort of get the best of both worlds here.

Last but certainly not least, Masala Chai Beer, their season special. An unconventionally unique combination - beer and chai. Chai forms such an important part of an everyday routine for most people and is sort of synonymous with monsoons. The flavours of tea, cardamom, cinnamon, clove and ginger come through strongly yet subtly. This made for a very refreshing beer. Loved it. Especially it's aftertaste.

They even hosted a special beer brewing tour called the Flying Petal Beer Tour. It was great to see their brewing machines and get an insight about the special processes for TBD craft beer.

Food - 3.5/5
Beers - 4.5/5
Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 3.5/5
Value for Money - 4/5

There aren't too many places like The Barking Deer that host events such as these, all for a good cause. In addition, you're not only enjoying exquisite crafted beers, but from time to time you're served special menus in addition to their existing delicious menu, along with some stand up comedy. This event was a total thumbs up! Very enjoyable.
So if you love beers and want to have a good, memorable time and be a little charitable alongside, this is the place to be!
Highly recommend a visit.

I was here for a stand-up comedy show on one of the evenings. It's not too easy to locate this place but nor too difficult unless you're geographically challenged like me. Interiors are nothing extraordinary but surely like any decent bar & restaurant it wasn't tasteless, some portraits on the wall were quite impressive I reckon. They've an area upstairs which I'm guessing is usually for shows, downstairs the bar and dining area.
I started with the beers of course. I was disappointed when the server advised they didn't have cider and couple of other session brews, so I moved to Belgian Wit and Bombay Blonde (happy hours boozehounds 1+1) and I absolutely loved the Wit. Crisp light and oh so refreshing with a peel of orange. I'll go for it again.
After the show we decided to stick around & hog on some delicious nosh. By this time Barking Deer was packed and music fairly loud to the extent of deafening at one point of time (not my preference).
We had built a fairly decent appetite hence we thought of ordering a starter & a pizza. The food just bowled me over. Regular Macho Nachos were sufficient meal for the two of us. Loaded with beans, sour cream, cheese, avocado, salsa and chips it gripped us and we cleaned the entire plate without even going once for the pizza. I can't remember having better Nachos anywhere.
The entire exotic veg pizza was our doggy bag since we were so full with the delicious Nachos. The reheated pizza was my lunch the next day and it was a delectable meal. The basil and veggies were fresh and fragrant and base paper thin and crispy.
I highly recommend the Nachos at this place.

Wonderful evening spent with a damage of ₹1360 to the wallet (plus show tix).
Go to this place for the love of beers and if you don't like it, it's nacho-problem.

I am not quite good at writing reviews but this is One of the best outlet I found in Mumbai.. Authentic In house beers, tasty delicious starters.. Must visit place once in a month.
My favorite dish is chicken thecha😍. Just yummy, spicy chicken with olives n mayo. Also the Lebanese wrap.
You'll get surprised with session beers. #masala chai beer 🙆
Last but not least.. The ambience... Just awesome.. Live music, especially friendly staff. 10/10 for all these.

The service provided is just great, the waiter over here are very friendly and they do provide quick service all the time! Talking about the food, they prepare great pizza they don't have a huge menu of pizzas but exotic pizza is just amazing! This place has great music and today they had a stand up comedy also! All I could say is great place to chill with your friends❤️

We went here on a weekday so got a table easily. The place has a nice ambience and good music. We wanted to go to summerhouse post this so just grabbed a quick bite. We ordered the Macho nachos which were really great. Would strongly recommend it!
Then ordered pasta which was fine but the quantity was a bit less. Overall it's a nice evening hangout for people in lower parel.

Been here for a quick taste of their brewed beer.
Can't really comment on the food as I just had fries which were standard fare.
I tried two of their beers, the fallen angel stout and the flying pig Belgian witbier..
The stout had a stronger coffee based aroma than those at other breweries. Lesser head retention but the taste is still top notch. A waft of coffee at the nose and a hint of bitter dark chocolate on the palate. A great beer.
The flying pig was also pretty good. Standard fare at most of breweries, when in doubt order a witbier.
They need to step up their variety though to keep up with competition..

Ambiance :9/10
Love the darts board they put up there. The overall vibe was good.

Beer: 7/10
I troed a couple of their beers.
The German monkey one is the best of the lot.

They have only one beer that's strong- the IRP unfortunately it will make you cringe ever time you take a sip.

Food: 7/10
The chicken burger was good.

The honey bee 🐝 and chilli beer are my favorites.. haven't seen those in any craft beer bar, plus the ambience is so relaxing for a lazy afternoon with friends 😊 although the place is a bit hard to find for the first time it's totally worth for craft beer fans 👍

Barking deer boasts of a beautiful ambience. With wooden furniture, the pub looks rustic and inviting. With a shelf of a wide number of books on one wall, paintings for sale on another wall and a open mic stage upstairs, barking deer is an introvert's paradise.

We tried the craft beer which we didn't like perhaps because we don't really have a taste for home brews. We also had the chicken nachos which were all right but I would have preferred them without the cream.

So I'd say barking deer has a lot of offer in addition to food. It has a great vibe and it really does satisfy Saturday evening's need to chill.

A nice, relaxed place.
The starters are good. The Texas grilled chicken and Harissa chicken skewers turn out quite good.
Relatively limited beer options, but if you're not too particular about your beers, you should try their 'Take a Flight' option of four half-pints of your choice. Otherwise, stick to the Bark IPA. It's damn good!

I discovered Barking Deer Brewpub on Zomato just when I was looking for a nice cozy place to hang out with a friend. Considering the positive response from other foodies, my friend and I decided to give it a try. Situated at prestigious Mathuradas Mill compound, Barking Deer has its own aura. Big enough sitting area for small and big groups is well organized. Their in-house beer menu is displayed on the board (along with prices) right at the entrance. One small corner is dedicated for the collection of games they offer to their visitors – Dart, Jenga, Board games. And every time I enter this restaurant, I am greeted by brewing smell which relaxes me immediately.

Location:- The Barking Deer Brewpub, Lower Parel

We decided to visited the place after hearing about the unlimited pizzas and sliders for 300/-
BBQ Chicken Pizza was one of the non veg pizza options we chose
It definitely isn't a traditional pizza that we all love..
They called it a "thin crust pizza"
It definitely was a thin crust but more of a Nacho or Papad feel to it, this made the pizza too dry to eat
The toppings on the other end were wayyy better than the 'crust'
You should definitely the place, but mainly just for the beer

The food here is just amazing. Ordered macho nachos ( you cannot eat all of it without sharing), beer battered onion rings (jumbo sized rings), chicken lasagna, BBQ chicken pizza, etc. Do try the above dishes if you visit this place. The cost is around 5k for 6 people without alcohol. Overall a great experience.

Been here a couple of times now and their craft beers are really good. We had one of the tasters which allows you to taste 4 and then liked the Mango brew and the Honey braggot. We also had a rose sangria which was very nice
The food was good, with some very nice items and some ok ones. The pork sausage on a stick and the grilled chicken with BBQ sauce were really good. The bruschettas and Korean paneer were ok.
By the end of the evening the music got really loud so wasn't conducive for conversation

This place is located in todi mills compound and mayb difficult to find on GPS. I found this place just average. We ordered a pitcher and cheesy fries, pork sausages and sone herb chicken. Their food is quite nice and we liked it. However it's just a one or two time visit. Coz there was no service at all.

I finally visited Barking Deer Brew Pub to see what the hype was all about. It's located deep inside the Mathuradas Mill Compound, behind Zaffran and next to Woodside Inn, and was a little difficult to locate. We landed just before 8pm to avail the Happy Hour buy 1 get 1 free offer, before their Beer20 (Rs 820 for unlimited beer between first ball to last ball of IPL match) offer kicked.

The place is pretty big, and from the constant screaming and shouting we heard, there was obviously a raucous office party going on somewhere upstairs. We asked for samplers of their craft beer, and were disappointed when quite a few were not available. From the ones we did sample, the Bark IPA was too strong and bitter, the Mango Blonde was too sour, and Pancho Villa was too spicy (yes!). We settled on the Belgian Wit and Honey Bee Braggot instead. The Belgian Wit was refreshing and citrusy, while the Honey Bee Braggot was tad sweet, but delicious nonetheless.

For nibbles we ordered a regular Macho Nachos and some Onion Rings. The Macho Nachos are generous - full of beans, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. The only issue I had with the dish was the the nachos were piled high on a small dish, and eating the nachos was like playing a game of Jenga. One false move, the nachos fell down on the table. I believe they should serve this in a bigger plate with a flatter arrangement. The quantity of the regular size is huge, and good enough for 3-4 people.

The beer battered onion rings were big and crispy, but unfortunately, without any seasoning, and served with ketchup. Surprisingly, they remained crispy for the better part of an hour, and were a really good accompaniment to the beers, especially after a liberal smattering of salt on them.

At 8pm, the party upstairs ended, and people started staggering down the stairs with plastic cups full of drinks. The DJ amped up the music, and with everyone standing on our heads in drunken stupour, it got a little irritating.

I agree with most of the reviews - go to BDBP for the beer, not the food.

I am a vegetarian and a teetotaler. Barking Deer is definitely not a place I should go to. But I had a good time there! I had the blueberry sorbet which was quite good. We ordered French fries, Margherita Pizza, Macho Nachos and Pumpkin & Beetroot Ravioli! And all the food items were pretty tasty! The music was loud and exciting. We had a great time dancing near the bar. If you have a big bunch of friends looking for a bar to hangout, you should definitely check this out!

The compound which hosts this place has other options like social, hoppipola etc. so why go to this place and pay like 1700 rs for 2 people nd not go to other places?
Pros:
1. Brewed beer 😍 Some of the beers to try are belgium wit, bombay blonde ale, honey bee braggot and well its summer time, so u ll like the beer even more 😉
2. U ll find a place. (Unlike social or others where they generally don't allow you in on weekends unless you have girls in your group)

Cons:
1. The bill comes on a higher side given the food items are expensive and there are not much items you can count as delicious.
2. Whenever I have been there, the music never gets you up on your feet to the dance floor, which infact is small and if there are more people in there, you will find tables there and not much place to dance.

P.S.: Go when you feel like having brewed beer and it has offer on same like 2+1 or others.

Situated in a dark corner one can easily miss this place if you are not alert enough. Visited this place on a Monday and as expected the place wasn't crowded. The staff here is friendly and warmly welcomed us. We had a special reservation with a fixed menu. To start with we had chicken ceaser salad which was light and not dressed with too much of mayo. For appetisers we opted for texas grilled chicken and rawa fried fish fingers. The fish had a crisp coating however it was too overwhelming that the flavor of fish couldn't be separted from it. For our main course we chose chicken wrap and Moroccan slow cooked chicken with macaroni. Wrap was filling however the macaroni seemed little sweet. Finally for our dessert we had the best tiramisu (made with beer) and it was melt in the mouth tantalising your taste buds wanting more and more of it. We were also served complimentary sangria red wine to finish the course. Overall a very pleasant experience. I haven't rated them 4/5 coz the waiting time after each course was on a higher side.

Craft beers were really good. Honey and chocolate stout/heffweizen ruled. The place feels a bit cramped up. But with old school music, rock, metal music.. its overall an immersive vibe. You could find the outdoor seating better. If had enough drinks here during happy hours, move to hoppipola upstairs and make your night.

Great in-house freshly brewed beer served with some lip smacking food. As the portions are very less, you would either have to order lot of beer or many dishes to fill your hungry stomach. They also offer an extensive Sunday brunch with many mouth watering options. The place is livelier at night than during the day.

A small but nice variety of beers brewed on site, plus bottled imports. The food was very good. Owner Greg is happy to shoot the breeze and talk beer and brewing. The vibe was great on the Friday night that I was there. Beer prices might be a bit higher than standard commercial beer in Mumbai - but hey, it is craft beer and you get what you pay for. Certainly way cheaper than craft beer in other parts of the world. I'll definitely go back.
