I genuinely don’t write reviews often, but I feel this experience needs to be brought to people’s attention.
I have always loved Bob’s Bar for its atmosphere, vibes, great service, and the wonderful team. I have many good memories associated with this place, and I have always been grateful for the experiences I’ve had here.
However, during my visit yesterday, 3rd November, I ordered my regular Church Street Potato Sandwich. To my absolute disgust, I found a visible strand of hair inside the sandwich, embedded within the bread and stuffing. It was a genuinely unpleasant and disturbing experience.
When I brought this to the manager's attention, he tried to suggest that the hair belonged to my wife. However, I clearly showed him that the strand was embedded within the bread itself and was not simply lying on the surface. This made the entire experience even more disappointing
Although the bill for that particular sandwich was eventually waived, I was disappointed by how casually the situation was handled.
My concern is not about the cost of the sandwich or the bill being waived. My concern is about the hygiene standards, food quality, and the way such an incident was addressed by the management. Simply removing an item from the bill or following a standard SOP does not adequately address a food safety concern.
Honestly, I never expected this level of negligence from a place I have appreciated and visited so many times. It is disappointing to see a place associated with so many good memories leave me with such an unpleasant experience.
Unfortunately, this will be my last visit to Bob’s Bar. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously, reviews its kitchen hygiene practices, and ensures that such incidents do not happen to other customers.
Thank you for all the good memories over the years. I am attaching a photograph for reference.
This place is quite literally the talk of the town right now, and after visiting, it’s incredibly easy to understand why!
What makes this bar stand out is the almost unbelievable combination of extremely affordable pricing and a genuinely premium experience. You’ll find an impressive variety of finger foods starting at just around ₹50–₹75, which is exceptionally inexpensive considering the quality they serve. Despite the pocket-friendly prices, there is absolutely no compromise on taste, portion quality or overall presentation. The food is genuinely excellent and easily one of the biggest reasons this place has become so popular.
The ambience is absolutely to die for! The interiors feel stylish, retro vibes, upscale and exceptionally well put together, giving you the experience of a premium bar without the premium price tag. The bar itself is exquisite, with a great selection of drinks offered at surprisingly reasonable prices, one can say almost as close as to MRP rates.
What really speaks volumes about its popularity is the crowd. Even on a Monday evening, the place was absolutely packed! We had to wait for around 10 minutes just to get a table — and honestly, that alone tells you how much people are loving this place.
It’s rare to find a spot that manages to offer great food, premium drinks, fantastic ambience and ridiculously affordable pricing all under one roof.
Without a doubt, this is one of those places that deserves all the hype it is receiving right now.
An absolute must-must visit! Great quality, incredible prices and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to come back!
The only downside was that they asked for a physical ID at the entrance to verify age. Even showing a photo of the ID wasn't accepted. I think they should reconsider this policy because not everyone carries their original ID everywhere.
Apart from that, the food and service were excellent. The dishes tasted authentic and had a proper South Indian flavor. The drinks were great too—iykyk. 😄
Even on a regular Wednesday, the place was packed, which says a lot about its popularity. Bob's Bar definitely knows how to attract a crowd!
Bob's has always been a great place to hangout and I was thrilled to visit them at the Wood Street branch. It was spacious and they had many tables in their outdoor space. I love their food and the portion size and pricing is great. I got the pandi pork which was delicious, the mutton cutlets which were as crispy as they were succulent and the crispy bhindi which is a must. We also got a few chilli shots which were good. But as the evening went on the service started getting very slow. We requested for a glass and some water and it took nearly 15 mins for the servers to get it despite multiple requests. Also their app started working really slow and we were unable to order anything else until the app was up and running again which was so frustrating. They really need to find a solution for this.
Visited Bob's Bar this afternoon, and as always, the overall experience was great. The ambience, drinks, and service were excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
However, the Donne Chicken Biryani was a bit disappointing this time as the chicken did not seem as fresh as expected. I hope the team looks into this and maintains the quality they are usually known for.
Apart from that, everything else was good. 🍻😊
