Bars, Restaurants and ClubsThe night-life on Baga beach is certainly is one of the best i've experienced in India. There are loads of bars, clubs and restaurants. 'Tito's' is one of the most popular bars and clubs at Baga. With regards to the restaurants I recommend would be Bernard's, Alton Gardens and East Meets West. They are all easy to find along the beach and all offer a great evening dining while watching the sunset and listening to the waves crash along the shore.....
