    Displeasure of visiting Cohiba Bar & Kitchen, located in Sinqurim, Aguada Fort Area-Candolim, and my experience was nothing short of disappointing. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted with mosquitoes under the table, which was off-putting and unsanitary. However, the live music was the only redeeming quality of this establishment. Unfortunately, the lack of hospitality culture was evident throughout my time at the restaurant, just not our table but many around us. The staff was very rude and unaccommodating, and it was disappointing to find out that no water was offered at all. If you wanted water, you had to buy it for a ridiculous price of 400+ tax. If you ask them to get you normal water, they say can get unfiltered tap water. Never faced this anywhere. The management was equally appalling, and the rules were absurd. Men were not allowed inside without shoes, which was a surprising and unnecessary rule. The fake hard spirit and bad food were additional letdowns, and the service was very poor. Nothing we ordered was good. Not sure if we need to call this a restaurant/Bar/Kitchen. It was apparent that the management was disorganized and inefficient, and the staff lacked proper training. The bartenders and bouncers were equally rude and unprofessional, which made the overall experience very unpleasant. In summary, I would strongly advise anyone against visiting Cohiba Bar & Kitchen. It is an overrated place with disgusting management, a lack of hospitality culture, and bad food. The only thing that one can come here for is the live music, but it's not worth enduring the terrible service, rude staff, and unsanitary conditions. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.

    What a vibe! The band that played was superb and their lead singer, even superb. Only reason I am giving a 4 is that the place refused to serve regular water and demanded 96 INR for a bottle of water. As per guidelines, regular water must be provided free of cost and bottled water should be an option. Would still highly recommend anyone to go. If the Admin is seeing this, would be great if you solved this concern.

    Wow…what place to have live rock music. What a band….just loved it man. I have been quite frequent to this place for many years. But this was my 1st visit post covid times. Felt the same vibrant feeling. This place is rocking on Saturdays with live band performance. Mostly the choice of the band is amazing. Place has three kind of sitting areas. One is air conditioned, completely covered, with one stage performance area , around 6-7 round shaped high tables and around 14-16 normal tables with a big size BAR. This area has loud music and gets completely packed at the peak time of performances. Other two areas are in open where one is partially covered & both these areas have separate BARs & where you can smoke as well. Don’t forget to book your table

    A terrible place to be in Goa. The food is average and all the mocktails (we tasted almost all of them) were below-average. Had high hopes from this place after seeing the reviews but was thoroughly disappointed. The ambience is ok'ish. Also, check your bills carefully. They charged us Rs 6500 for a bill of Rs 5500 and it was only after careful evaluation from our end which caught the discrepancy. Attaching the bill for reference.

    We decided to have dinner at Cohiba yesterday. Being a weekday the place was empty. We got excellent service. The soups were delicious. The mushroom brushcetta and veg spring rolls were tasty too. My husband and daughter enjoyed the goan beef chilli with butter roti. As requested the beef was made less spicy. A perfect place to enjoy a quiet meal on a week night. It took us a little over half an hour to drive down from Corlim Old Goa

    Hands down the best place to enjoy live bands in North Goa. The band A26 that plays here on Wednesday nights is the best band of Goa and a treat for music lovers. Spacious indoor dance floor and outdoor seating to enjoy a nice meal. Lovely atmosphere. They do have a dress code (no flip-flops or slippers for men), so dress your classy best when you visit.

    It's a place for different kind of music and crowd. It's a new experience. The DJ crew is very energetic. Food is slightly costlier but nothing to complain.

  • 4/5 Shwetha K. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is one of the popular ones and approximately a distance of 15 to 25 mins from Calangute prime area. This is located in the interior area. The first and foremost thing to inform you all is please make a reservation prior to visiting the restaurant because they don't entertain walk-ins. The ambience is really good and soothing and they have a dance floor with live music separately which usually starts from 10 pm or 10.30 pm onwards. They serve Hookah as well. Kids are allowed here though not allowed on the dance floor. The food was good in taste, i will not say it was wow though. Out of all the dishes that we ordered, i found calamari masala was good and yes, the prices are quite exorbitant. Needless to say, staff were really good and cooperative. The service was quite quick. Overall, you can plan your visit once here. Happy eating.

  • 3/5 Harsha B. 6 months ago on Google • 48 reviews
    We were there on a long weekend and there were people all over the place. All though the manager said there are reservations and limited seating capacity, we didn't see anybody following table reservations. The food was decent. The live music was something that elevated the experience of this place.

    Located close to Sinquerium beach Goa. The food is really tasty and would have rated a 5 but for the high priced dishes. Also not tried drinks here so no reviews on that.

    Had an amazing time at Cohiba during our visit, the place has a great laid back ambience and amazing local vibes! The place is located near Candolim and there is usually a live band playing in the evenings! We tried some of their dishes wherein the Jalapeño Ragda Pattice, Roasted Tomato Soup and Grande Nachos were just too awesome!! Did not enjoy the Chutney balls at all, as they were over bland in taste!! Would definitely suggest Cohiba for a pleasant evening!! Do support us by following us for more updates!

    This visit was different in many ways... Guess visiting or rather visiting the popular Cohiba after 20 odd years is a charm. We went here to relive the memories - just one drink, let the younger lot have their moments.. It did bring back a lot of those memories, anecdotes.. This time was different though- since it is the off season so to say we were allowed to bring our lil one, but had to sit outside in the covered area.. One round of Jagger's and we were good to go...

    One of the most awesome places to visit and hang out in Goa. Good food, lovely ambience and great live music!! Take my word, it's one of the best places to spend an evening in Goa. If you love live music n happen to be there on a Wednesday, Boy! U will love it. It isn't exactly close to the main road or the beach though.

    This place is simply awesome. It is good for dinner or you could simply go for a few drinks. The live bands here are amazing. This is one of the best places in Goa which is open till late whereas most of the places close by 1. This is usually open till 2. It is a must visit anytime you are in Goa. Recommended!!!

    While Cohiba is one of the best places in Goa to party and catch live music gigs and has an amazing line up, I cannot bring myself to patronise the place as often for the food and drinks. A severely over priced food and and even more over priced Bar menu is very off putting. I mean, some might argue you pay for the atmosphere but I humbly beg to differ.

  • 4/5 A V K. 4 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Recently we spent an evening at Cohiba in Goa, and it was overall an above average experience. The best part of the place were the vibrant atmosphere, coupled with attentive service and amazing food. However considering that we were expecting to have a good time listening to the live band scheduled on that day, it was not so good and was much below our expectation. The band started the performance only after 10:40 pm and the sound system wasn't good. The place is highly recommended but the management should look into the issues with the sound system and band timings.

  • 5/5 Dinesh N. 1 year ago on Google
    Cohiba is a great place to unwind with friends, drinks and some absolutely stunning live music. Situated just after fort Aguada, this restobar has both an outdoor seating, indoor seating with a stage and dance floor. Check out the web for live music nights. No cover charges applicable there.

  • 5/5 Sara P. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place if you want to chill or enjoy some reggae/party music.

  • 4/5 Bandana Pandey P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was pricey but tasty 😊 We went to celebrate our anniversary there. The only disappointment was ragda pattis which is okay but not that great. Calm ambience and good sitting area. Staff I felt were not unaware of the whole menu. You may visit for the cool vibe over there ☺️

  • 4/5 Shailesh K. 1 year ago on Google
    As expected it's a touristy place..Prices are boom.. Good for rich people who love to splash the cash.. A common person would avoid going there... Not sure about the restaurant outside.. that might be better..

    This place has some amazing vibes considering the music , the service and the crowd. Really recommended if you stay near the candolim area.

  • 5/5 Kiran S. 11 months ago on Google
    Super fun and electric music around. Nice food, ambience. Karaoke was nice, live band was excellent and DJ played a superb role of music.

  • 5/5 Gaurav M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing time here. The music is good. The ambience is good. The food is decent. The service can be more better.

  • 5/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance is great. Good sitting outdoors as well. And they have these 2 great bands that perform regularly there. Go there for the bands for sure. Overall a great place to go with friends. If you love music and like a place to relax and chill then Cohiba is the place to go.

  • 4/5 Himanshu M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's location itself is a gr8 plus for it with no nuisance around. Superb choice of music & live band ( though we missed live band but as heard from many It's the soul of this place ) Didn't like nachos but Chinese was gr8 taste.

  • 5/5 MANEESH G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great music. Amazing band. Good food and good service.

  • 4/5 Anumey S. 2 years ago on Google
    A really fun place in Goa to party all night long with great live music. They have a really neat live music room which has a separate bar and some decent air-conditioning as well. Food was pretty good, but everything including beers and cocktails were pretty pricey. Actually the beers were all right but everything else was definitely pricey. The vibe of the whole place was really nice though. I definitely recommend checking the place out if you have no prior party scenes sorted. These guys stay open and fun till 4 or 5 AM. Definitely a place worth checking out.

  • 5/5 Sunil P. 2 years ago on Google
    This first live performance after 20 months was absolutely amazing. The group A26 is really a professional performers .. So the place , music , drinks, good, crowd & the overall experience was outstanding. Great place to tuck into the Goa vibe :)

  • 5/5 Ravi K. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply superb. No other words to describe the amazing experience. The live music was too good. A26 band was a "Special 26". Food quality was awesome and so were the spirits!!

  • 5/5 Shalini G. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed the live band which belted out the best of 80's rock and pop. The restaurant is spacious and housed under the most artistic looking banyan tree. We ate a butter garlic snapper and our son dug into a bowl of French fries. Very generous portion sizes. A fun atmosphere.

    Great music , great place, great vibes!!!a must visit in Goa … reasonable pocket friendly compared to other places if this sorts….

  • 1/5 rohit a. 2 years ago on Google
    They have a cover charge which they didn't mentioned even though you are in group. And it's too much 3000₹. They have a different concept of dressing. They refused entry to one and allowed others. For the cover, they won't give you any coupon or anything. They just told the bartender. Bartender got confused and he put others tab on mine. They should have some proper system if you are changing this much. Now the best part. live music is just awesome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For the band. Band name is True Blue. It's a rock band. If you like live music n Rock.. you must listen to then whenever you visit Goa. They are the best live music band I have heard in Goa so far. I'm writing this review on for the band only. More power to the band🙌🏼. There insta handle is @truebluegoa. Enjoy.

    Amazing ambience. The live music was the key attraction. The food was also really good. A bit on the expensive side, but the ambience makes it worth spending the money.

  • 5/5 navin a. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places North Goa side. It's close to Taj fort. Amazging live band. Very good food. Open till late night. 5 star grade palce. And huge seating area. Must visit. Mocktail & cocktail are too.good.

  • 5/5 Neelam R. 2 years ago on Google
    Been there 2 nigjts ... saturday nites they have a live band ... the liveliest nite you can be... amazing crowd and mind blowing music. Look up the band playing before you plan your visit. The 2nd night was a karaoke nite good for you if you are along with a partner or your group of friends and if u enjoy having a go. They offer free Mojito to those who participate. Good food and drinks.Very quick service and overall cleanliness also well maintained.
