Was catching up with a few old friends over drinks this weekend in Bandra and we thought why not try this new place where we have not been to. Turns out we were right in choosing Red Ant. Located on top floor of Link Square mall, across the street from KFC, Red Ant can be accessed through the side lift. The access from inside the mall is cumbersome. The place is nicely done in red and black with dim lights and large video screens (I don’t know whether they intend on showing sports though). Floating candles on the table, though a bit incongruous, give a nice warm feeling to the place. There is a relaxing, lounge sort of feel to the place.
The focus is definitely on liquor than on food. Good selection of international spirits and liqueurs including absinthe though not much variety in beers. We ordered some paneer starters which were just average. The vegetable salad was lots of lettuce with little bits other veggies. Jalapeno poppers were decent. Cheese platter was good but the quantity really little for the price charged. They are in the process of redoing their menu though (so was I told).

The servers are really good and attentive. They tell you about the various stuff and encourage you to try it out - good marketing skills. Music is decent but nothing great. Prices are a bit higher than comparable Bandra places. Would suggest going there for drinks and moving to someplace else for dinner.
Rating: 4/5
Must have: Absinthe
