Created by Auriga Hospitality, PUBLIC Beer Hall & Snack Bar skips the reservations, the theatrics, and the cocktail-bar fuss. Instead, it leans into something Mumbai hasn’t seen much of lately: the classic beer hall energy inspired by old gymkhanas, Irani cafés, and those timeless bars where everyone feels like a regular after a few visits.

The drinks philosophy is simple. Expect ice-cold beers—both regular and craft—alongside straight spirits. Cocktails aren’t really the point here, though if you ask nicely, the bar team might mix up a familiar favourite. The bigger idea is accessibility: a place that sits comfortably between expensive cocktail lounges and old-school quarter bars.
Food plays a big role too. Chef Sohini Bhattacharya has created a hyper-regional snack menu that’s unapologetically Indian and built for long drinking sessions. The menu moves through categories like touchings, sigri and tawa specials, Tangra and mountain classics, plus a few heartier options for when hunger kicks in mid-evening.

Instead of dark, moody interiors, PUBLIC Beer Hall & Snack Bar opts for bright, open energy. Exposed beams, metal reinforcements and natural stone textures give the place an honest, slightly rugged charm, while playful touches of “clean kitsch” keep it unmistakably Bombay.
The goal is simple: a place where people drop in without planning, order another round, and stay longer than they meant to.
