Just a hop, skip and bounce (or ten wobbly steps) away from Hawaiian Shack and bang opposite Pals, is the newly opened hip-hop club called Bounce. Friday the 31st saw the inauguration of the club and it was all set to kick in the good times.
Greeted with the smell of fresh paint and the sight of good friends, Bounce makes a good first impression. All the comfy nooks and corners were already spotted and conquered so we had to make do with the bar… a massive one, easily the biggest in Bandra. Sadly though there were no barstools to complement such a thing of beauty. The bar may not have a specific “look” but it’s a mix between fish tank ‘things’, coloured glass tubes with bubbles and a blue and red lighting all through. Definitely not something that would go down well with the average Club 9 (R.I.P) or Shack frequenter.
The rest of the décor comprised of smoke emitters, neon red piping that ran throughout the whole club and all the clichéd club contraptions.
The sound quality was average with the DJ playing everything from Retro to Hip-Hop and a ounce of new age Hindi as well. The wine menu was impressive, drinks delicious and potent. The food however left a lot to be desired. It would not be fair to judge a place on opening night but Bounce needs a whole lot more to compete with “The Shack” and they could start by changing the outside look and the sign of the place which looks quite shady.
The biggest upside of the place is the fact that all you need to do is crawl out of the door and you will find your self engulfed in the best smelling sea food in Bandra…pronounced “Pal’s.”
