"The owners of Roop Chicago have gone more casual with this pub, with tropical drinks inspired by Goa, the coastal city in India. This is a great place for light dinners with sandwiches, fries, and other pub fare. Bar Goa has an attitude, and it’s to leave your cares behind." - 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, nick allen
