Goa's Taverns Revival
For centuries, Goans gathered at traditional taverns, but they fell out of fashion. A new generation is now reviving the Indian state's essential hangouts with their own spin.
A sign at Cifa Bar in Panaji, Goa's capital, reads:
Have a magical day and night. Located in the Fontainhas neighborhood, the bar is a small, narrow room with a unique atmosphere.
- Decorated with an altar and a crucifix
- Advertisements for various drinks
- Serves typical Indian drinking snacks, like dried prawns and gizzard fry
The bar feels like a step into the past, with a touch of modernity, making it a magical experience.
