On a weekend when you have to rewind for real, all you need is a sip of your poison and a cozy cuddle from your pet. Sure, hugging them while drinking under your own roof can be fun. But not everyone is as blessed. Some of us come from households where either pets are still a no-no or daaru is equivalent to flying chappals and gaalis. For those less fortunate souls, here we list down 5 drinking places in Mumbai that welcome both, you and your furry buddies, with open arms. Don’t have one? Go there and pet those lovely creatures till their owners stare you down…
Zoo Bar (Vile Parle): As the name suggests, this place opened as a pet friendly bar and we couldn’t be happier. Situated right next to Vile Parle station, Zoo Bar is suave, chilled and really really fun, coz pets. You can grab a decently made cocktail and sit with your friend with a tail (get it?). You won’t look like a totally sad loner. The zoo themed ambiance might also amuse your inner child.
Cafe Zoe (Lower Parel): One of the highest rated fine dining places in town, Cafe Zoe is a great place to eat. What makes it great is the fact that they let your pets in. With some delectable food and cocktails, this place may not be the kindest on your wallet though. But it’s definitely worth all the positiveness of the furballs. If you live anywhere close to Lower Parel, we know where you are taking your pet for a walk this weekend.
Cafe Moshe’s (Cuffe Parade): Head to Cuffe Parade, even if it is hella far from home, because your pet deserves a play date. When you are sipping on some fine wine, your happy dog can play in the dog section with a bunch of his newly made buddies. Can you hear them woofing yet?
Alibaba (Colaba): So, what if you don’t want to have just coffee or a cocktail? If unfortunately, you are married (lmao) or living with parents who are too clingy (rofl), where do you go? Don’t start BC-ying life yet, we gotcha covered. Alibaba serves Mughlai, Chinese food with a full bar service; and your pets are welcome. And rightly so, because your pet is your family. Well done Alibaba!
Revival Restaurant (Chowpatty Seaface): Chowpatty Seaface. Delicious food. Kickass bar service. Revival is already one hell of a dining place. We are not done. It’s also pet friendly! Say whaaa! All they serve is vegetarian. But don’t be disappointed, coz the view will make up for it. Stuff yourself with some lip smacking North Indian food, sip on some good old whiskey and take your baby for a walk on Chowpatty. Aah! Life is good.
