It’s Music To My Ears!
Many a times, we’ve been lured by the promise of an exciting evening complete with the best of rock music, only to be greeted by loops of awful records. But you don’t have to go through it ever again. We’ve listed down some of the restaurants in Mumbai that are known to play great music. Whether you’re a fan of rock, jazz, pop or indie rock, there is something for fans of each genre on this list.
1. Toto’s Garage
This watering hole in Bandra plays only classic rock music. If you consider Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and AC/DC as the ultimate Gods of music, you will definitely love Toto’s Garage. Also expect a mix of alternative rock music as well as metal music to surprise you from time to time.
