Situated near Colaba Causeway, Café Mondegar is one-stop to a noise free, smoke-free, 'Only Beer', family kinda pub. A typical open-windowed non-claustrophobic, 'susegaad&' café, feels like u sipping a beer in ur own balcony.
Frequented more by the middle-aged, don't be surprised to catch up with an elderly female parsees sipping away on their beer, or a bunch'a locals, trying to bum a just arrived hippie in town.
The major draw to the café is 2 imported Juke boxes that have a wide variety of flip-turn CD's from the swinging 60's to the entertaining 80's to the latest on the dance/pop/trance scene.
At rs. 5 a song and unless you plan to deplete the entire stock of Mondegars in an hour or 2, would you be advised to play the jukebox, becoz it's a long wait for ur song to be cued and to be played.
Mondegar has a groovy ambience of famed Mario Miranda's cartoons adorning the walls. A must try on the menu is the chicken grilled sandwich. Demand ur wafers with it if it came sans.
If you in a group and u’ll plan to drink into the wee hours of the morning(again last order is 11.00pm) then try this stunt out.
After each beer, don’t let the waiter take the empty bottle away. Line up all the used bottles in a row. Not only does it give u the extra kick when u paying the bill (besides the bill amount kicking you), but u can show-off the number of beers you drank, and last but not the least u cant get cheated on how much u’ll drank.
Table service at Mondegars is slow, as not only is the number of waiters are inversely disproportionate to the pubbers, but the degree of politeness of the waiters is directly proportional to the number of beers ordered. ( Not forgetting the curses after the piddly tip u leave)
Mondegar is one of the few pubs that do there own PR in their own pub. Mondegar t-shirts and beer mugs are on sale with an average price.
If you strictly a beer drinker and u strictly listen to only the songs u like, then Café Mondegar is strictly ur kinda watering-hole.
Don’t forget the do’s and the dont’s. Have fun….Hic!!!
