Gateway Taproom
Gateway Taproom.
“There is no such thing as a bad beer. It’s that some taste better than others.”
The name gateway taproom is inspired from Mumbai's local landmark The Gateway of India.
First let me tell me some interesting insights of this brand. Gateway brewing company was founded in November 2011 by 3 friends with the sole purpose to brew classic styles of beer with local ingredients and make them available to bars and restaurants at an affordable prices.
Cut to today , Now the company has their own taproom that was long overdue.
Where ?
The business hub of the city that never sleeps. Bombay.
They opened their outlet in bandra Kurla complex.
Why BKC ?
After sitting in the cold glass and chrome facades of the office everyone needs some time to unwind and end their day on a high. What better than having some unique and special beers at gateway taproom.
How is the Decor?
The decor of the gateway taproom is simple yet unique and rich. The high dark wood tables, The beer garden style benches , The old school classic laps that look like upturned bowls and the brick walls painted with quotes and gateway taproom logo.
My thoughts and assumptions before entering the place ?
So I had assumed that like other breweries, this place also would have concentrated more on their beer than food. But ooh ooh oh. Surprise surprise the food is equally as good as their beer. Food + Beer = Perfect.
They also serve some super moctails and unique beer cocktails. That's the first for me. Never had I had a beer cocktail, Thank you for making me know there is something called a beer cocktail also.
They also have yummies on their menu which is infused with beer. I'm a beer lover so this was the same feeling that a kid gets when he enters a candy shop.
What are the cuisines they play around with ?
- European
- American
- Continental
- German
- Heathy Food
Lets shift our attention to things I drank and ate ?
Let's start with things I drank.
- Side car
Apple cider beer which showcases the sweetness and mild tart notes of Lal ambri apples from Kashmir and is superbly satisfying to drink.
- White zen.
Refreshing wheat beer with hints of banana and clove. This is one of their flagship beer.
- Czech dark lager
Dark Czech style lager with malty and subtle roast notes balanced with a slight happiness from late addictions.
- Lucy in the sky
A perfect cocktail in this Bombay melting summer
- Mango coolaid
Its that time of the year where ppl want mangos in everything and anything they have or drink.
Let's shift gears and get into what all I ate
Starters
- Chilli sausage ( Pork )
- Beer batter prawns ( Recommended )
- Chicken skewars ( Recommended )
Main
- Pressed lamb ( Loved it. Recommended )
- Monks Chicken.
Dessert
- Financier
- Double chocolate cake.
The person who was assigned to my table was Deepak. A guy who actually made my experience perfect. He was on point with his Recommendations. He was also brave enough to say " No sir. Go for this rather than that ". If the management of gateway taproom is reading this then you need to sign this man for long has you'll have a gem at your outlet.
Oh yeah and this outlet does not have a set DJ , the music is controlled by the jukebox app which allows users to pick and play tracks from gateway taproom stock of tunes.
Overall a perfect lunch experience , an experience which I would love to live forever. My stomach was full. The clock was ticking. But my soul was not ready to leave as you don't get such Perfect experience always.
