Bar Goa, an Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

"Bar Goa is a clubby cocktail bar/restaurant in River North from the folks behind Rooh (which also happens to be open for lunch on Thanksgiving). And while both spots are great, head to Bar Goa between 11am-3pm if you're in the mood for a non-traditional holiday lunch with spicy food, fun cocktails, and a subwoofer. They're serving their regular menu—Indian dishes with Portuguese influences—including tasty bites like butter chicken croquettes, fried chicken xacuti wings, and a delicious Goan chicken curry. The meal: Regular menu" - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"Goa is a former Portuguese colony on India’s west coast. It’s become a hot travel destination where tourists can hangout on the ocean front with a tropical drink and enjoy beautiful beaches. The owners of Rooh Chicago have expanded their reach by opening a chill spot with wings and small bites that take colonial influences and serve them up to a new crowd. Chili-cheese kulcha, biryani, and more are on the menu." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"Bar Goa is a clubby cocktail bar and restaurant from the folks behind Rooh, perfect for when you’re in the mood for drinks with a subwoofer. The food is Indian with Portuguese influences, and so are the tropical and refreshing cocktails. There are options like ginger whiskey and mulled wine, or the “ChicaGOAN handshake”—your opportunity to try feni, a pungent cashew brandy and Goa’s version of Malört. Weeknights tend to be mellow and great for Happy Hour, while a brunchtime cocktail session involves a DJ and people shout-talking about how much they love their mango sangria." - veda kilaru, john ringor
