If there is one quirky pub to be, one which follows no conventional rules in its blending of cocktails and crafting of meals – CraftBar it is.  A place to hang out at after work hours or to chill out during weekends, typically for those located at Mumbai’s central corporate hotspot – B.K.C.   A startup set-up which comes equipped with unique selling points that sets it apart from its competitors.   Its owner, the ever hospitable Sagar Chakraborty, breaks away from traditional food patterns having applied his own ingenious art in designing the restaurant’s menu.  This is my creed too, to deviate from time-honoured cooking/serving models, like eating shrimps from a gol gappa or sipping a cocktail from a gola or devouring a spirit infused melon!

As I stepped into this gastro pub, the first thing that I caught sight of was an assortment of colourful bottles which apparently are done in what is termed barley art.

Barley art which has its roots in Indian culture has been selected as its thematic design.  So it is but natural to see the pub’s walls adorned with circular embroidered frames conforming to this art.  Naturally, the restaurant’s menu is printed in a similar fashion (see pics).

Piped upbeat music plays in the background making this the last place to want to have a heart to heart chat.  If you do, you won’t be heard.

At the far end of the restaurant IPL matches get screened, attracting cricket aficionados.   More excitement and less audibility.  Not my cuppa tea.

Come Thursday evenings, you will see (or should I say hear) the town’s self-proclaimed singers assemble to sing along on Karaoke – both Bollywood ishtyle and Hollywood.

For those who dig olde worlde music, Fridays has been picked to be their Retro Night targetted to start with effect from May this year.

There’s nothing like a ‘live band’ that performs inside the restaurant that makes this place come alive!  Hear that celebrity singers are being geared up to be brought on board soon.

What is CraftBar’s singular attraction you might ask?  Its Sunday brunch which allows you unlimited food from a set menu.  Designed for those whose mission is to live to eat.

CraftBar Sunday Brunch menu

The brunch constitutes a whole collection – of 2 breakfast items, a soup, 4 types each of vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters,  a large salad station, 1 non-veg and 2 vegetarian mains plus 2 types of desserts.  @ a mere Rs 799 per head and guzzle unlimited drink @ Rs 1,299!

Didn’t you just go back to check if you read right?  I bet you did.  What better incentive than unlimited food and drink at as nominal a cost!  Now, if that didn’t catch your attention, you probably need a doc’s prescription!

Having provided a broad description of the pub, I’d like to get started with an illustration of my very first and experiential tryst at this gastro pub.  The first dish came in the form of a Caribbean style Pirates Pepper Soup which is a milky, peppery and banana-sweet potato inspired soup.  Almost Thai-like in taste owing to its coconut content perhaps.  Velvety on the palate, no black eye whatsover setting me wondering about its Pirates connection.

Some light Glassy Classy salad with cherry tomatoes, dry fruits, dark olives, citrus fruits and lettuce dresssed in vinaigrette to accompany.  For the diet conscious.  Looks prettier than it tastes.

This was followed by Paneer Tikka Tarts which came trundling on wheels.  Not the Formula One types but one served on a cart like tray which makes picture-happy people happier.

It tastes cheesy, I mean not in the trashy sense but like cheese.  Small enough to pop into the average mouth. An eager one to pop in a couple in quick succession and without guilt.

Being a born and bred Mumbaikar I’m naturally inclined towards the city’s archetypal

snack.

The Pav Bhaji Bruschetta it is called, which comes with pav bhaji topping over baguette slices to give it an Italian twist.

A creative fusion play that makes the die-hard vegetarian Mumbaikar happy to go the Italian way.

Just wish there were fewer chopped onions over the bruschetta topping.  Leaves no room for a close-up peck :-)

For the hard-nosed non-vegetarians as I, there was comfort in chicken tandoori momos which taste close to wood fired kebabs.

What goes into it, I learnt from the chef, is minced chicken and veggies steamed in typical momo style which is then dipped in flour and oven grilled.

Unfussy and delicious!  Tops my list of favourites.

How could one forget those prawn gol gappas!  Yes, you heard right.  Fried prawns stuffed into crisp home-made puris sat invitingly upon a shot glasses filled with sol kadi.  How do you eat it?  Just pick up a puri, crunch into it and wash it down with the kadi which is nothing but a digestive.  I didn’t venture pouring the sol kadi into the puris and mouthing them whole.

While the waiter at our table did his best to explain the food on an lazy afternoon, I suspect it could be hard to keep pace with the evening crowd.  Waiting is an area that needs rephrasing and polishing.

Well, that’s a full measure of food art for now.  Let’s get to the fundamentals of this gastro pub.

No visit to any pub is complete without indulging in spirits or cocktails.  CrafBar, in particular, is known to  attract its customers for its craftily mixed blends.  For me it had to be the vodka gola which is what drew me to this pub in the first place.  Tera Kya Hoga Kaliya is its name.  The concoction wasn’t chaotic as I believed it be, in fact I thought it was a remarkably good idea to have a crushed ice gola sitting in a kala khatta vodka of a drink.  The gola has dual benefits.  For one, it reminds you of those good old picnic days on the beach when you would happily slurp gola after gola.  Or if you didn’t feel young enough to remember those picnics or perhaps didn’t go to any, you could at least let the gola cool your drink.  Blended with vodka it is bound to revive you into a gola-sucking-youth a few pegs later.  Priced @ Rs 335 per drink.

If you happen to be a coffee fan, you are likely to enjoy its coffee liqueur cocktail served in a chocolate shot glass, with whole coffee beans.  Don’t Angry Me – a funky name – made angrier with some dark rum.  I took a sip of this one and let the rest take a miss as the coffee beans interfered in the channeling of the liquid inside.  I bit on a bean as it popped into the mouth while sipping the liqueur and then I wondered why I hadn’t swallowed it whole!

(Photo Credits: Carmelita Fernandes)

Not all coffee liqueurs here come with trespassing beans.  There’s the Irish Cream which came as saviour but was a mite too sweet for my liking.  Aata Maji Satakli, whose coffee powder aroma is intensely reinvigorating.  Sweetened with condensed milk and spiked with whiskey.  Priced @ Rs 350 per cocktail.

(Photo Credits: Carmelita Fernandes)

And then came the biggest thunderbolt of it all, KICK.  This translates to a tequila shot in an ice glass!  A fantastic herbed flavoured drink that couldn’t have been a better bet to give an ice glass company but not for long as the meltdown begins.  Kickass.  Priced @ Rs 395 per shot.

Smoke Valley is the name of CraftBar’s bar station.  The drinks range from wine, beer, aperitifs to single malts, blended whiskey and so on.  Beer starts at Rs 135 while malts @ Rs 400, blends @ Rs 270, cocktails @ Rs 345, Sangria pitchers @ Rs 1,260 onwards.  Refer to its menu for more options and pricing.

Fun all the way, not surprising then that the pub’s chef and mixologist are of Indigo fame!

As if this wasn’t enough of a surprise tour, there came a brown surprise at the end of the meal.  Brownie sandwich with gajar halwa, a sensation that can take your breath away.  Learnt that it’s a popular choice.

(Photo Credits: Carmelita Fernandes)

In summary, this is a great place to indulge in eccentric spirits/mocktails/cocktails, devour idiosyncratic fusion food with Indian undertones, sing/listen to music and watch your favourite game even if you have to shout to be heard.  A handful and a quite a mouthful!

Do so while the menu’s not as hard on the wallet, at least not yet (relatively speaking)!
