Drifters Brewing Company, Kamala Mills Brief about Drifters- A perfect addition to kamala mills for drinks and a party place. Beers you really can enjoy here and especially if you have a zomato gold membership on which you will get 2+2 drinks so nothing like it. Try few of the recommended appetizers from their servers. This Place can be enjoyed with your own group of friends or family who really wants to get soaked in the party atmosphere. If you are the Craft beer lover then make sure you visit Drifters.

Doesn’t this place keep producing excellent restaurants one by one? (4.5/5) Concept- Serving a homemade fresh beer along with some of the delicious food which can go very well with food. Here they say proudly that “Beer culture is celebrated here” (4.5/5) Look and Feel- Let me tell you that it’s a huge place. They got three different sections of sitting in one restaurant. Maintaining such a huge place in kamala mills is a big challenge to be honest. Outside section (AC) has given the rustic look which looked nice when you think of beer place. Inside one wall got painting which shows the steps of beer preparation. Lighting is medium, neither very bright not very dark. Seating got chairs which are ok types, not very comfortable but yes can be considered fine as it’s a beer place. AC wasn’t working fine I guess, as cooling was missing though it’s just a start of the summers. One side got their bar section which looks really simple considering such a huge place. Front side of the restaurant got huge screen for your sports love. (4/5) Beverages- Craft beers are really in now a day’s isn’t it? In recent year guess lot of breweries opened in Mumbai and I am sure they will really be popular as many of us got bored of drinking the bottled beer and even the climate of Mumbai which is hot and humid resulting in the more beer drinkers in city. This place serves 6 special beers of their own brewed beers. Their brewery is in pune from where they bring the beers in this restaurant. The beers are made with imported ingredients so can be easily seen that they don’t compromise on quality. The beers are made using finest Czech malts and best hops. They got 6 beers which you can try and choose from them. Few of the beers you might like are Charles the piles (I tried), T Wit and Milky way. (4.5/5) • CHARLES THE PILES- A proper Czech pilsner style lager which is mainly created similar to bottom fermented beers of pilsen region of Czech. Beer is little mild and got refreshing taste and bitterness and malts are balanced well with the different hops. A perfect light and smooth beer which will be really a need after hard working day or on a relaxing weekend.(4.5/5) Food- Each drinking place must have a really good menu to support their drinks. Here the menu which is created suits the concept of the restaurant. Menu got categories like appetizers, salads, Mediterranean appetizers, fresh, pizza pasta and main courses off course. Somehow I feel they have to work on food taste and the portion/quantity served in each dish. Few of the dishes were tasted really well but the portion size wasn’t really wow. Considering a brewery place the menu is really nice and good part is that it’s not very lengthy. They got live pizza section where you can enjoy the making of your own pizza. Few corrections in the food dishes are strongly recommended. (3.5/5)

Kamala Mills compound is the city’s gastronomic heaven, with some of Mumbai’s (and ours) favourite restaurants, bars and cafes. This place has something for everyone! One of the gem in this crown is a microbrewery called Drifters Brewing Co. This place promises to serve the best handcrafted Eastern European beers in the city, and it delivers! They have six unique beers from all across Europe, namely Apple Cider, Bavarian Hefeweizen, English Pale Ale, Milky Stout, Czech Pilsner and Belgian Witbier. These are brewed using the finest Czech malts and hops, and are completely natural and preservative-free. You’ll get to sip and taste each of these handcrafted brews, before you order your favourite one. They also have a ‘Drink More-Pay Less’ concept where you pay ₹260 for 1 – 5 pints of beer, ₹235 for 6-10 pints of beer and ₹220 for 11 – 15 pints of beer or more! But this experience would be incomplete without some delicious food to compliment the beverage and thankfully, this place doesn’t disappoint. Drifters has a wide menu comprising of cuisines from all over the world, including Italian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern food. From finger foods that make for the perfect bar snack to gourmet main course dishes, they have it all. Some of our favourites are Pita with Hummus and assorted dips, Mediterranean Pizza, Spanish Garlic vegetable soup, Asparagus & Zucchini sticks, Classic Bruschetta and Risotto Supreme. We went for the Sunday ‘Jazz’ brunch and spent the afternoon swaying to the tunes of Karim and Lydia, brewery’s amazing performers. You can have the same experience for ₹1,699 with Unlimited Craft Beer and Food. They also host many events ranging from match-screenings, ladies’ nights to live stand-up gigs, karaoke nights and DJ nights. Drifters has a very quaint, cosy vibe with wooden chairs, lean tables and muted lighting. But this place also has a fun side, with neon signs and beer pong tables, to soothing jazz and board games. The pillars on the side are either inspired by James Bond’s martini glasses or stolen straight from Mumbai’s gorgeous terminal two airport. They bind the whole place together. Also, the entire wall on the side is painted with wall art, depicting the brewing process. So, to sum it all up, this place not only satisfies the need for a brewery with handcrafted beers in the city, but also offers a wide range of cuisines to go along with it.
