Hideaway

Goa, India

Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025, No. 94 (51-100) and Asia's 50 Best Bars 2023, No. 66 (51-100).

Hideaway sits in Goa's beachside village of Vagator, away from the bustle of the party district. Sheldon Abranches, Sidharth Bandal and Nathaniel da Costa founded it in 2019 to pair live music with fun, unpretentious drinks. A horseshoe bar anchors a 35-seat indoor room, and a 45-seat open-air area becomes a stage for jazz bands and independent artists. The cocktails use local ingredients and modern techniques: the Babylon mixes vodka, passion fruit, coconut water and lemongrass oil, and the End of Day blends banana-infused rum, coffee liqueur and black rice tincture. Bar bites carry a Goan twist. It opens at 7pm nightly except Tuesday.
