Shooter's, Bandra's latest addition to Mumbai's burgeoning bar culture will be launched on Thursday, January 15, 2004.
Owned by young entrepreneur Ranjit Bindra and managed by Darshit Kajaria, who has studied hospitality management at the famous Swiss school, Les Roche and
have had work experience with world- class hotels in Europe, U.S.A, the Middle-East and good old India to boot, the management will most assuredly have an international edge. Shooter’s is poised to become Bandra's "friendly neighborhood bar", something that is sadly fading away in today's fast paced environment.
Shooter's, as the name suggests, will serve up to 50 odd shots from among the gamut of popular drinks like Bloody Maries, Long Island Iced Teas and Gimlets, all reasonably priced and mixed in, you guessed it - SHOT glasses! Also, customers can devise their own personalized shots.
Shooter's is a casual full service facility with a seating capacity of 100 covers incorporated in December 2003. It is not conceived as a theme restaurant, but as
a comfortable place where guests can enjoy professionally mixed shooters and grilled snacks, all very reasonably priced, amidst great retro and more music spun by their resident DJ, DJ Alex.
There is nothing la-di-da about the menu, and although, other than Indian, it has Italian, Mexican and Chinese dishes none of them have unpronounceable names…
The menu is varied and wholesome.
The decor was executed by Karim Furniturewala and his associate Mital Jaliwala who have been inspired by the work of world renowned architect, the late Frank Lloyd
Wright.
The decor has no definite scheme. It does not fall into categories such as classical, rustic, minimalist and so on and so forth. The word to describe it is 'eclectic'.
The reference to the name Shooter's, from the 007-cops-and-robbers view point can be found in subtle glass signage of targets or bulls eyes and a few Wild West frames.
Focused ambient lighting, emerald green, dark wood and red thrown in for fashionable measure gives Shooter's a comfortable and unpretentious, but yet crisp and stylish, feel. The table tops are inlaid cultured marble and spot lit to perfection.
