Visited Bombay Cocktail Bar alone, hoping for a good experience, but what unfolded left me thinking about how we treat solo guests in public spaces. I was seated at first, but later asked to vacate when a larger group arrived—even though there was enough space. I requested a seat from the bouncers several times before they finally responded. Meanwhile, I noticed houseflies on my starter plate, raising serious questions about hygiene standards. More than just poor service, what I felt was isolation — as if coming alone made me less deserving of basic hospitality. It’s important we reflect on how public venues can be more inclusive and respectful to individuals, not just groups. Everyone deserves to feel welcome, safe, and seen. If you’re someone who values dignity and cleanliness, I’d recommend choosing a place that truly understands hospitality — not just crowd & poor management.
