Joseph Bar

The place definitely looks beautiful and has that aesthetic vibe ✨ But honestly… it felt a little too overhyped for me. We were more than six people and had to fit around one small table, which made it a bit uncomfortable. The food and beers were just okay — nothing unique, and definitely not worth the extra price. There’s also a ₹400 per person entry, which doesn’t really match the experience. Veg options were very limited, most dishes were non-veg, and a few items on the menu were even out of stock. So apart from the ambience and beer, there isn’t much to look forward to. Aesthetic-wise, yes, it works. But overall… not something I’d hype beyond that.

Joseph Bar is an absolute gem! 💎 The food was incredibly delicious 🍔, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was simply perfect for a relaxing evening. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning soon! ✨😊

Josephs Bar is one of the oldest in Goa and requires a visit , however do be prepared for waiting period to get a table unless u reach early and a cover nominal cover charge we paid Rs400 per person. However once inside and seated it's a different world , old vintage goan vibes like time stopped and I liked the non fancy bar food and service . We had to try the cocktails here so ordered Mango chilli feni cocktail which I found too sweet , the Tambdi rose feni cocktail was perfect and I might have had to many 😅, no pork dishes were available that day which was disappointing however the squid masala and chicken masala were perfect the the goan spices fresh hit the right note ..a mix of locals and tourists makes it an interesting place to hang. Do visit when in Goa

This place is one of the oldest bars, yet it has a very cozy vibe. There’s usually a long queue, but it’s totally worth the wait. My husband and I absolutely loved the experience. The chicken chilly (semi-gravy with pav bread) was outstanding — delicious, flavorful, and quite different from the usual ones we’ve tried. We also tried Tamde Rosa and Mango Chilly Fenny. Personally, I didn’t enjoy them much, but my husband really liked them — so I guess it depends on individual taste. He had tried the Mango Chilly Fenny earlier, and this time, the flavor felt a bit different from before.

Joseph Bar is a true Fontainhas institution. Stepping into this tiny, rustic tavern feels like you're getting a genuine, unvarnished piece of Panjim's history. It’s small, unpretentious, and perfectly embodies that old-school Goan charm. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, and you'll find a great mix of locals and tourists all crammed in together, which makes for some fun conversations. The drinks menu offers a good selection of local spirits, though I must admit, as someone who isn't a fan of feni, the popular Tambde Rosa cocktail wasn't quite for me. However, don't let that deter you! There are plenty of other options, including various local craft beers and other spirits, to enjoy. While the space can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, that's also part of its charm. My only reason for not giving it a perfect five stars is the sometimes cramped conditions and my personal taste leaning away from their most famous cocktail, but honestly, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers is part of the experience. Come here for a unique, authentic experience and a real taste of local Goan life. You'll definitely soak in the atmosphere.

The vibe is good. Perfect vintage place. Tried drinks only. It was a bit strong for me. Chilli cocktail was too bad. But definitely try the kokum feni cocktail.

An iconic 'Copos and Tapas' spot located right in the heart of Panjim city and it lives up to the hype. Food menu is limited but what was on offer was tasty. Booth seating is quite cramped and the space fills up post 9pm often leaving people waiting for a table. Ideal for a couple or 3-4 ppl max. The crowd is pleasant. I'd definitely go back for the vibe.

We actually only had drinks there. Very cozy place with kind service! Received cute little roses, sweet touch. Very local, must try !
