One of the oldest places serving beer as far as I can remember, been frequenting it since more than 20 years now, not much has changed though. It is a non fussy beer bar behind Eros offering only beer and limited choice of chakna. If you want a quick beer without any fuss and burning a hole in your pocket, this is the place to be.

Irani joints are my weakness. I have some kinda affection for such Irani cafes. They take you back in time when things were much gentle. This place has good collection of different beers. Chakna is OKish and staff can be given a miss.

Cafe Oval, is less of a Café per se, but more of a beer bar.

A no frills joint, this place is more of a time machine. Pop in a for bottle of chilled beer (heavy emphasis on the "chilled" part) and you could easily forget that you are in the most bustling part of Mumbai. It's one of those places that is near but yet far away from crowds.

It can be easily missed, a dingy, hole in the wall, a few stores left of the Beer Cafe.

Truth be told, it doesn't have good food. It's a joke of a place when it comes to food. But what attracts you, like a moth to fire, is it's beers. Not the craft kind, just your regular kingfishers and fosters, but here, they serve their beers, chilled, to such a degree, that even your soul freezes over.

The beer is a respite from the otherwise hot days and the insanely sweet "ganne ka juice" that dot the place.

So basically, next time, when you are in this area, dogged by the heat, soaked in sweat. Do yourself a favor. Come here, crack open a cold one and relax as your soul freezes over.

P.s. the pinnacle of food items here is omelettes. So.......yea, don't expect much when it comes to food

THIS ONE IS FOR THOSE GOOD TIMES, NOT CONCERNED WITH FOOD OR DRINK HERE FOR ONCE. It is a small joint at the enviable location. They have maintained their look and menu throughout the years. Dont be fooled by the location as the place only offers beer and few side dishes which include masala daal chaat, bread butter, egg omelette. No food items apart from those.

The beers are chilled and they serve pitchers and bottles as well. It is very economical on pocket and a true cafe, not for drunks but for a quite beer or two in office breaks. The customers are mainly nearby office goers , foreigners and some times small groups.

It is so serene, that you forget that you are in the brain of Mumbai with all the nerves ending there (Churchgate be the nerve ending)😊.

I have given this place a 3.5 for their sheer honesty to the things they serve and not sidelining to other ventures just for the heck of it. I will also mention that this rating has no meaning as the loyal customer base is already there, since their 100 or so years of existence.

Went there on a Sunday afternoon. Small clean place to grab a few beers. Doesn't have a wide food menu and that's a bummer. The lack of toilet is also a sore point. However inspite these drawbacks, the functional charm of the place just works!

Its a small place located just beside the eros cinema that serves chilled beers with regular chaknas. You will generally find office people having their drinks with some light snacks. Food items you will find here are normally egg omelettes, sandwiches and normal chaknas with beer. No imported beer you fill find here.
Its a place to chill after working hours over light snacks with drinks.

So, let's get this straight.

This place is a beer bar.

1- Do they have beer - Yes
2- Is it reasonably priced - Yes
3- Is there chakna? - Yes

It's a good place to hang for a while in the day and talk with your buds. (While sipping on a bud, if that's what you wanna do)

Anyway, had a good time and I got exactly what I expected.

A good joint to hang out with buddies over some beer. Nothing extraordinary, just a simple place which is soft on your pocket. Limited eatables to accompany your beer.

Honestly, I just love this place because I have a lot of memories attached here when I used to go to this place to have beer. We would walk from churchgate, enter this place.
The place is old and seating capacity is very less. The chairs and tables are all old and wooden. Even upstairs there are hardly any chairs to sit. We used to order London pilsner and cheese sandwich.
It was always funny to have the cheese sandwich because it was a small price of bread cut into 6 parts awith grated cheese in it. That's all. They served it with ketchup.
The service is fast, the staff is decent. I have gone there a lot of times and was never disappointed.

Go here only experience an old bar drinking experience right opposite oval garden. There is no other factor which will ask you to come here. That's it. Just go there for an experience , even if not a special one.

A pocket friendly place to get together with your college friends and share a pitcher.the place is very peaceful on a weekday afternoon.

They have kf draught available while tuborg,Budweiser and others are available in bottle.a lesser known beer brand kangaro is the cheapest @110.

Tried a cheese omelette which was good and reasonably priced.
Service is prompt too.

Give it a try if you are around churchgate station.

The joint gives you a feeling of old times. This can be clubbed in the category of irani joints which are in operational for decades.

All you get is tables, chairs, fans hovering over you and view of the road ahead. Beer is damn cheap, we ordered few pitchers with some starters (chakhna in true sense).

Nothing more to add ;)

If you wanna catch up with a friend over a few glasses of beer and do it cheap, this place is surely recommended. Try the egg bhurji and channa along with your drink.

Peaceful & low-key place to have a chilled beer on a rainy evening with your friends. The place has an old world charm & a must visit if you like deep conversations over beer. No frills, no blaring music & other nuisance.. Simple one page menu with only beer and finger food options available

Best place to chill out with many beer options. It is non-AC cafe with capacity of more then 50 people at a time. I went early in the morning it was suprisingly opened by 8:50am. Staff is good. There is no hard drinks available only beer options with nominal prices. They dont have many options for snaks( chakhna ) . I would recommend only if you want to have beer specially early in the morning . Overall experience is good. Only urinal for male is available. So i guess it would be uneasy for female to visit this place. Parking is not available so need to park your vehicle nearby and walk to the cafe.

A great low key spot for local beers. The draft beer is good and reasonable. The location is very central and the cafe is not very shady mostly due to the fact that hard alcohol is not served here. A great place to enjoy a casual beer and some basic light snacks. Very unassuming. Cash only!

Oasis of peace on a hot, sultry Mumbai afternoon. No fuss, no frills place. Only light beer at a good price, friendly server. Limited packaged stuff+ cheese/omlette sandwiches. PLACE IS 96 YEARS OLD!! Obviously, they are doing something right. So, if you are in the Churchgate neighborhood, drop in for a chilled beer and a chat with the server and head to wherever you are bound. Customers typically are office goers on their way home or on lunch break stealing a beer!! Youngsters too. Ought to be safe for women and foreigners too....

A beer place with limited options of drinks and snacks - take it or leave it - that's the old south Mumbai charm - unmissable, energetic, brilliant. Best time to go would be on an uneventful tiring afternoon. A mug of cold beer served with nonchalant service, uncaring but not rude - have see this place as is for the last 25 years - just a simple unforgettable place to stop over for a quick beer. The crowd here is usually the cricketers from the maidan across the road and office workers who have been here for couple of decades; the attrition proof working class :)

A tiny place place to spend time with your friends drinking beer! Only beer is served at this place with minimal snacks options, like chakli, chips, omelette sandwich etc at a reasonable price. No loud music, rush, just a place to spend time quietly chatting with ur friends or alone and have chilled beer. The place is clean and hygienic, staff is always at your service and respectful.

A quiet island in the chaos of mumbai traffic and the spit of taxiwalas. Came here to drink kangaroo beer. It satiated me immensely for my chilled beer craving. Only 1 other man on the other table is with me drinking the same. There is board that says shop is open to all caste which has actively kissed my forehead. Come here for beer and solitude. much recommended. There is only cheese sandwich, ommy sandwich, and ommy. So dont come here with a hungry stomach but do come here with a flexible open heart

Oval is a nice cafe get ur self a chilled beer and get yourself frozen with friends. Food is not there. But you can get items of bread and eggs with cheese amd butter. A bit over priced it seems to me they just charge Rs.10/_ on everything on average. But service is good and swift.You have to be a beginnet or hard coresoft beer drinker to appreciate it bye.

It’s a Great place to spend a Few Hours Drinking and Munching with friends or alone for that matter. Only Light beer is served here like King fisher, London Pilsner, Kangaroo, Bira Blonde and Tuborg. No Strong Beer is served here, nor do they serve any main course. The staff is respectful and friendly. Wine or whiskey is not available here. The ambience is great and they keep the place clean, which is what matters.
