MissMalini says, “Props to DJ FatBat for programming some awesome tunes to go with your pre-game drinks at Lagerbay. I like! PS. Parul, love the shoes! xoxo”

Friday night saw the glamour and glitterati from tinsel town at the opening of Lagerbay – a new restobar in Bandra, Mumbai. Welcoming the guests were partners Naveen Kotyankar and Ramesh Dabholkar. The launch saw in attendance a number of personalities from the TV and Bollywood industry like Sohail Khan, Natasha Suri, Mia Veda, Sandeep Soparkar, Naman Shaw, Rocky S, Shonal Rawat and Rajev Paul.

Once inside, you notice a vibrant splash of pop art and collages in the essence of the 70’s and 80’s. The first enclosure has bright coloured seating with stone walls and a glass facade giving it a feel of a sun-kissed bistro. The collection of random pop paraphernalia and interesting paintings add an interesting dash of colour. The second enclosure is the dining area, facing the main bar.

The menu represents a scrumptious combination of Euro-American cuisine with a rustic bar serving cocktails, wines, beers and spirits. Lagerbay is an all-day diner, starting its day serving lunch and mid day snacks, which subtly revamps itself into a vibrant energetic place in the evening complemented with home-style food and eclectic drinks.

The music at Lagerbay is what one would call “conversational”, ensuring that neither your conversation nor the music come in each others way. Besides the fact that blues, jazz, retro music fit well into this category there will be an occasional evening dedicated to progressive blues, alternative rock and Hollywood movie soundtracks. Sounds nice!
