Backroom
★ 4.7 · 67 reviews Goa Opened 2026
Anjuna without the party circuit
No set programme, no scripted DJ set, just a low-lit room in Anjuna that shapes itself around whoever shows up. Backroom is the anti-Anjuna answer to Anjuna.
Cocktails run on local ingredients you won't find shaken elsewhere: rasam, raw mango, urrak, feni, jackfruit, Ratnagiri mangoes. Order the Dirty Shetty or the First Cigarette. Food stays bar-comfort with a regional twist: prawn potli balchao, truffle pate naan, Nani's Nimbu Mirch chilli chicken, five spice pork ribs.

What a find! A hidden gem right in Anjuna where you can Sip your Cocktails along with great conversations. Lovely vibe & love the idea of community based events that Gagan & Rutuja hold. Amazing bites with one of the best cocktails ive had.

Backroom strikes a rare balance between refined mixology and an unpretentious atmosphere. The cocktail programme is thoughtfully curated, with each drink showcasing technique without compromising approachability. The food complements the bar exceptionally well—I particularly enjoyed the Potli Balchao and Pâté Naan. Service was attentive, knowledgeable and never intrusive. It’s refreshing to find a venue that values quality over gimmicks. Easily one of the most memorable dining and cocktail experiences in Goa. My pretty friend Rutuja owns the bar too! so please do visit

Absolutely loved this place. From the ambiance to the cocktails, everything felt premium and thoughtfully curated. The bar has a stylish yet relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The atmosphere is energetic without being overwhelming, the music sets the mood perfectly, and the staff genuinely know their craft. Every recommendation felt thoughtful, and the presentation of each drink was top-tier. A must visit for anyone who appreciates inventive cocktails and a great night out. Highly recommend trying the First Cigarette and Dirty Shetty — they alone are worth coming back for.

Had an amazing experience at Backroom! I’m usually not much of a cocktail person, but theirs completely changed my mind, every drink was crafted to perfection. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. I don’t usually go for veg dishes, but their mushroom starter was outstanding. Even the masala papad deserves a special mention, the way it was made and presented was so unique! All the other dishes were spot on as well, full of flavor and beautifully done. The menu is really well curated, with something for everyone. Definitely recommend trying this place out. Backroom truly delivers on both taste and vibe.
