Gokul Bite (and its associated legendary Gokul Bar & Restaurant in Colaba) holds a unique, historical place in Mumbai's LGBTQ+ history.
Gokul is widely recognized as one of Mumbai's most significant "underground" queer haunts from the 1970s through the 1990s. While it is not an official "gay bar" today, it remains a welcoming, no-frills "watering hole" where a diverse crowd mingles.
In the '90s, Gokul was a primary meeting point for the community before the era of dating apps. It was a space where the first gay magazine in India, Bombay Dost, and the organization Humsafar Trust found their early footing.
The Vibe Today: It is described as a "legendary" spot that is 100% male-centric in its decor—very spartan, loud, and smoky. While the "gay hangout" peak of the weekends was somewhat disrupted by media reporting years ago, it remains a place where many from the community still feel a sense of belonging due to its history.
