For episode 23 of their podcast the Adventures of Cheap Beer, the trio of Mumbai quarter bar-reviewing tipplers Karan Agarwal, Siddhant Mehta and Suyash Barve visited AB’s Bar in Mahim with guest, motoring journalist Gavin D’Souza. Here are five things we learned from the episode, the second half of which has nothing to do with the bar and everything to do with Nicolas Cage for no apparent reason.
1. AB’s is also known as Special Anand Bhavan.
2. It has fake Mario Miranda wall art.
3. A Kingfisher bottle is priced at Rs265 but it’s fully air-conditioned so it’s not exactly a dive.
4. It has a coveted semi-circular table with two semi-circular table mats.
5. The best thing on the food menu is the potato crispy.
