When it comes to Bombay’s bastions of old-world charm, there’s no where quite as timeless as The Taj Mahal Palace hotel. An iconic stalwart of the city’s storied past, the hotel is home to Harbour Bar – the oldest licensed bar in Bombay and perhaps one of the most fetching spots to sink a cocktail (or few) whilst idly gazing out at the boats, ships and yachts gently treading out against the ocean waves…
The first licensed bar in Mumbai, it is located at the lobby level and offers a spectacular view of the harbour of Gateway of India. At the entrance is a white marble counter with well stocked bar which is difficult to miss.
The bar menu offers classics carefully poured by the bartenders. It was my first and I must say the best experience with their wine.
A small tip :the comfortable sofas by the window are the most coveted seats.
The service, as expected was top-notch, personalised and warm.
I shall definitely visit soon to try their single malts.
I have been here say 3 to 4 times n never got dissapointed. They have a good collection of drinks, especially rum, whisky n also beers.
Best starters, very innovative, quick service n best ambience. Feels good to sit n have drinks here. Very royal n relaxing.
Thank u so much for best hospitality. Wherever I have visited Taj, let it be Pune, Mumbai, Colombo etc u have the same standards world over. Love u Taj. Kudos.
The Hospitality is always top notch when you visit any Taj. Harbour Bar is Mumbai's first licensed bar. Its a small place with limited seating one the upper floor is Wasabi. Mostly people visit Harbour Bar for the Historic drinks, we weren't different. So we ordered Harbour Since 1933 and friend ordered Amrut (a scotch) and mocktail.
While preparing the drink, you get to hear the history and how it is prepared. Enjoy your drink overlooking Gateway of India.
This was my 2nd time when i been to this place.. First time it was just by chance we went to this place..I liked the place so much as the drinks are on mrp price which is a best thing abt this place and food is amazing..The staff is so very friendly.. special thanks to Rahul, Akansha and Swati for making us feel so special....Hence forth we will be the regular customer there...
Ambience and music - 4/5
Food - 5/5
Drinks - 5/5
Overlooking the gateway of India is a small bar which leads the way to Wasabi on the first floor.
Had two signature drinks Bombay Blaze and at the Harbour since 1933. Historical drinks made at your table with detail explanation about the process and the importance. Thank you Bhushan and Sandeep.
Worth trying the two drinks. My fav is at the Harbour since 1933.
Quiet vibrant almost deserted. Sipping on Historical drinks munching delicious Brie and savoury by the harbour. Great service. Lovely ambiance.
A great place to grab a drink and chill. Try their amazing after dinner cocktails and enjoy the comfy loungy ambience and good views outside.
First visit to the place dint have any high expectations but the service was spot on, had fabulous cocktails and they had a stories to tell with each drink on how was it made what's it's history, to be frank it's a different experience , drinks looks amazing, people sitting around us had full attention to our table as we we're the only ones who experimented I guess. But totally worth a shot. Ambience we're ok no view considering it's named harbour bar we assumed it wd have one of the views as its name goes. Except that everything was spot on right from service till the drinks quailty. Will be back soon for more.
The Heritage walk at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel made us aware of the history behind the iconic "From the Harbor since 1933" cocktail that's being made the same way since the 1933. For some reason, they've removed it from the new menus but it's still available and comes with a little storytelling and live bartending/mixing by the staff. The story is quite fascinating. The prices of the cocktails are steep however. We paid 3600 INR for two of the same cocktails. The complimentary snacks were delicious. They've covered up the windows it seems, so the ambiance wasn't anything special. Service was exceptional as always at this hotel.
The service and atmosphere deserves more than 5 stars. A beautiful ambience with a view of the Gateway of India.
First bar in Mumbai. Signature cocktails are a must have. The story telling by the bartender gives you a good feel. Prices are reasonable considering the heritage and popularity of the Taj. The complimentary snacks provided are awesome. Beautiful view of Gateway of India from the windows adds to the experience. Recommended.
What a nice bar! Lots of history here with neat stories written on the walls. The drinks are pricey but the service and atmosphere made up for it! Drink menu is very good also. 👍
Taj has always given me some of the finest, classiest comfortable-est experience.
Today apart from the food and drinks, I saw something that was so heartwarming.
Grand palatial entrance made even grander by an indie sleeping comfortably at the very entrance the main highlight.
Bless you Ratan Tata and everyone in the Taj family.
Harbour Bar the oldest licenced Bar in India.
It's licence number is 01 the ambience of the bar is awesome 😎 it's bit small but quality drinks is must. I personally Enjoyed my time at bar. The music was bit low but overall great experience
Highlight is Harbour Bar being the First licensed Lounge Bar in the City. Picturesque ambience. I liked their interiors as it perfectly suited the old style bar look with comfortable seating. "From the Harbour since 1933" their signature coctail is worth a try. The bartender would narrate you the necessity of the invention of this cocktail. Would really recommend Harbour Bar for people who love to have a peaceful yet rocking evening with their loved ones😉
A great cozy bar. Nice music reasonable price and good service too :) good to spend your time after dinner.
fantastic, cosy bar. After dinner entertainment with decent service, good prices, and nice music.Undoubtedly, it is a legendary location. Excellent cocktail menu along with some finger foods. Taj-class customer service.
A brilliant place to unwind yourself. One of the oldest bar in Mumbai that was established in 1903. Fab drinks and tasty bits to eat alongwith. The drink that we ordered came with a story about itself. Make sure you find their signature drink on the menu and order that.
