Where teens indulge in “We Don’t Give a Fuck” public displays of affection
There are some places that exude a certain character. We like characters, which stems from the fact that we love stories. True Tramm Trunk is one of the better stories in Mumbai’s Western Suburbs, giving Juhu an upper edge.
It doesn’t take you too long to realize that the happy souls who overcrowd True Tramm Trunk form an apt representation of the young, spoiled, rich and drunk Mumbai teen. Throw these kids into an absolute party hole and… paint the picture yourself please…
But ignore the air of immaturity that plagues this place (there are wise people like us too, don’t worry), and you would realize that True Tramm Trunk, or T3 (apparently), exudes a strong rustic and raw feel, something that lends depth to its character.
The entrance to the bar looks like an incomplete construction site – brick walls oozing with cement grey, which, lends the rawness… Smart word play, cocky graffiti, and vintage props greet you just outside where you can almost feel the ‘thumping’, and perhaps somewhere in a corner, the ‘humping’ happening inside…
Enter T3 and it’s the usual affair in a Mumbai suburban pub – a dark, cramped space with teens hopping drunk and indulging in “We Don’t Give a Fuck” public displays of affection…
T3 have hired a Live DJ and a supporting percussionist who know their shit, which is why they manage to bring the place alive with their dual act. But if you’re expecting Bollywood, then you should know right away that there are no ‘Beat Pe Booties’ grooving inside here.. We didn’t hang around long enough to know what unfolds post midnight.
It was a Thursday evening, but the sea of humanity inside could easily have made the day pass off as a weekend. Now we can shake a leg or two as well, but if you spend more time giving way to fellow drunkards who bump into you than do anything else – you end up wondering if you’re at True Tramm Trunk or True Ram Drunk…
Cramped or spacious, dark or bright, character or no character, True Tramm Trunk scores the highest with its Signature Cocktails, which they serve in Desi styled Pahwa-esque bottles. Oh, the feels!
You’re met with interesting wordplay and colorful copy pretty much everywhere you look, including a social message on waiter T-shirts which read “Don’t Trunk Drive.” We like!
The washroom wall offers you more than just a pot to let go of your sins – in the form of a diagrammatic representation of the process involved in brewing beer, which pretty much goes in sync with what you do inside a washroom as you stare at the diagram and go about your business. You basically get to see the source of the liquid being consumed, and the end outlet at play at the same time 😉
T3 has two lanes inside divided by a really long table for its drunk fucks to sit on. If you’re willing to cut across people to see what lies at the end of this traffic jam, you will a see a why they call themselves a bar cum lounge.
Where? First Floor, V.L. Mehta Road, J.V.P.D. Scheme, Juhu
