About

Goa, India's Beachy
Bohemian Paradise

A longtime Portuguese colony, Goa is a blend of India and Portugal expressed through food, drinks, architecture and music.

Goa is a vacation destination for people the world over and Bar Goa is bringing that experience to Chicago.Sitting on India’s southwest coast, it is, of course, home to incredible seafood dishes, which you’ll find at Bar Goa. However, it’s also well-known for Vindaloo, a traditionally pork dish that is the local interpretation of Portugal’s Carne de Vinha d’Alhos. And our menu wouldn’t be complete without it.

Tropical Vibes

At Bar Goa, our tropical vibe and coastal colors transport guests seaside any time of year.

Just as you would in Goa itself, you’ll see Portuguese inspiration in the colors and style of the architecture. Vibrant colors paint the homes that line the streets leading to the two parts of Goa, the north with its all-night parties and the south with its relaxing calmness.

Home of Trance

Goa is the birthplace of Goa Trance music and the home of the Sunburn Festival, the third largest electronic music festival in the world. And Bar Goa’s DJs bring the beat to Chicago.

Coastal Spirits

Bar Goa invites Chicagoans to find their beachfront vacation, in River North, even in the dead of winter.

Because there is no place more peaceful or restorative than the beach. And some of the best beaches in the world are found in Goa, with its 62 miles of white sand where you can find both peace and play.

Feni

To truly celebrate your evening in Bar Goa Chicago, we invite you to order the ChicaGOAN Handshake from our cocktail menu — a shot of Feni and a local Chicago Brew. No Goan restaurant, home or food festival is without Feni, a cashew brandy that is produced there. It is pungent so beware but everyone says it is definitely better than Malort ;-)
