Pubs are like people. Either you like them. Or you don’t. And people are like pubs. Either remaining the same over the years. Or changing with the times. Some people remain loyal to certain pubs. Others flit from one to the other along with the tide.

There are pubs and there are pubs. Meaning some are proper pubs or public places where people visit to unwind on their way home from work. Others have flashing lights and dance floors and border on the discotheque. Still others are international standard nightclubs, big and filled with Bombay’s bold and the beautiful.

Entry fee, cover charge, couples only, membership, no stag dancing on the dance floor. These are some of the terms you’ll hear on your night out on the town.

At one time, when pub culture was just catching on, you could do a pub crawl in one night. Now, even area-wise it is almost impossible to cover all the nightspots, unless you happen to have superhuman energy.

So, let’s go on a pub crawl of the city. Let’s start with Bandra since one of the very first pubs sprang up here. It’s Toto’s Garage at Pali junction and its still going strong. As the name implies it’s a garage themed pub with a Volkswagen perched above the bar, auto parts like steering wheels and numberplates all around. This is a no-nonsense pub, no dance floor, just a plain and simple place where you go to refuel and listen to good music.

The newest nightspot in Bandra is Fluid on Waterfield Road. It is the Queen of the suburb’s liquid asset. It’s hip, hop and happening. It’s swanky and spacious with action revolving the sizeable dance floor and the bar area. You get a mix of the young swingers and old faithfuls who just love the retro music played.

The retro rage seems to have spun off from Club IX on Ambedkar Road that started as a place for the 30-plus but soon attracted even the young set. At the time of going to press the place was in for yet another renovation and refurbishment.

Not just retro is played at Club Abyss above the popular Moti Mahal restaurant on Turner Road. You climb up the stairway to heaven, or rather to an underwater themed pub with fish staring at you and watching your every move, or at least it seems so after three drinks. Everything is shipshape though on a Saturday night it is overloaded. Luckily, it has never capsized.

Also rocking and rolling is The Lobby Bar at the SeaRock, especially on a Saturday night. Celebrities, socialites, models and Bandra babes are seen here. The music is a mix of commerical, underground and Latino tracks. The place is in two sections, inside there is an air-conditioned English pub-like ambience with a dance floor overlooking the swimming pool below. And outside there is a Moroccan tent-like seating area with sea breeze and a video wall for company. There is a steady migration of party people from one section to the other and outside in the lobby and into Oceanic, the 24-hour coffee-shop.

Embers at The Regent across the road at Land’s End seems to have been started to counter The Lobby Bar. But it’s different, this is an open-air pub on the pool level with double the rates for drinks and snacks, so it is no competition, rather an alternative.

While you hear recorded or DJ music at most pubs in Bandra, it is jukebox music that beckons at Temptation at Hotel Metro Palace on the always busy Hill Road. Yes, you can play your own song as you sip and snack in a setting of what looks like a combination of a coffee-shop and a cocktail lounge.

Also in the Bandra-Khar area there’s the Sports Bar at Shatranj Napoli at Union Park and Bass 2 at Hotel Ramee International on S. V. Road. Bass 2 used to be Madness and later More Madness. Some refer to its present avatar as Still More Madness.

Over the years calling it a night in Bandra have been Cavern at SeaRock, Illusions and Happenings on Hill Road, Westend Cafe on Waterfield Road, KK’s above Pamposh on Linking Road and Havoc just around the corner with its house of horror theme.

From Bandra let’s move to Juhu. At one time you could call it the sunset strip with its sweep of nightspots, some happening, others not so. There was Sheetal Again that changed to Blue Camel and faded into the desert, Top Brass at Hotel Fition, the Wild West themed Crazy Horse that was transformed to Wigwam. Then there was Jinx at JVPD Scheme that had its good times and, more recently, Paparazzi that went out of the picture.

And remember Xanadu, one of the city’s oldest discotheques located at Hotel Horizon? Also in Juhu, at Holiday Inn, there was Scorpius that made way for Casablanca that closed down.

Now hot in Juhu is J49, named after its address, J for Juhu and 49 for its pincode. This is one place that grows on you and after seven years people seem still mesmerised over its mystical and magical mood. Now it looks quite swanky with a streamlined bar and flair bartenders, the music that overdosed on techno has spread a bit, there is disco on Thursday and Bollywood hits on Sundays.

A great concept was Razzberry Rhinoceros, our very own version of the Hard Rock Cafe with live bands in attendance. It has been a great platform for musicians to showcase their talent. This barn-like place was the first to introduce pool tables, it has changed its look over the years and now the charm seems to have almost disappeared. Looks like the rhino is getting extinct.
