Yes, The Forest Club Resort in Karjat advertises a bar. Its own dining page names Over The Top Bar, alongside Namak and The Wooden Spoon Coffee Shop. That confirms an advertised facility, not the bar's opening hours, outside-guest access or the drinks included in your stay. Check those terms with the resort for your date.
Confirm the correct Forest Club property
The operator's contact page gives the Karjat address as Plot 83/41, Deulwadi, Post Kiravali, Karjat taluka, Raigad, 410201. This guide is about that Forest Club Resort, not Forest by the Hills or another property with "Forest" in its name. Compare the address on your booking with the operator's contact page before paying or travelling.
The website used for this check is theforestclubresort.com, with matching contact and dining pages. Multiple similar domain names appear in searches; this article does not authenticate every lookalike booking page or intermediary.
Bar facility and the policy questions that remain
The dining page describes Over The Top as a rooftop bar offering cocktails and wines. It also lists Namak as a multi-cuisine restaurant and The Wooden Spoon as a coffee shop. These are the operator's advertised venues, not independently inspected service quality.
No verified current bar timetable, outside-guest policy, cover charge, dress code, outside-alcohol rule or package inclusion was found in the sources used here. Ask the resort which venue will be operating on your visit date, whether your booking allows access, and whether any drink or meal credit is included. Do not assume a room rate includes alcohol because a bar is on the property.
Ask the venue about applicable age/ID requirements and current service restrictions rather than relying on a generic destination blog for legal permission. Arrange a non-driving return plan if drinking. This article confirms the advertised bar and lists the unresolved policy checks; it does not invent the missing policy.
Facilities advertised by the resort
The main operator page lists a meandering pool, an infinity pool, accommodation, a restaurant and bar, event lawns/banquet space, an indoor games room, gymnasium, spa and jacuzzi. It advertises Executive Pool Access Rooms as a category with direct access to the pool.
Read "pool access" literally: it is not evidence that a room has an exclusive private pool. Confirm the category, the pool shared with other guests, supervision rules, permitted times and maintenance closures. A photograph of a room next to water does not tell you what your exact reservation includes.
The operator uses superlative language about the size of its meandering pool. We have not independently verified that ranking and do not treat it as a measured comparison with every resort in India. The useful booking question is whether the pool and other facilities you want will be available under your package.
Karjat station to The Forest Club Resort
The matched Google Maps property pin uses the same Deulwadi/Kiravali address as the operator. A road-route snapshot from the Karjat Junction pin to that Forest Club pin is about 2.2 km, checked September 30, 2026. Use the map linked below and confirm the actual reception entrance with the resort.
This is a road distance between pins, not a platform-to-room walk, a fixed journey time or a guarantee that every approach is accessible. Arrange an auto, cab or resort transfer as needed and ask for the total charge. If travelling with luggage, children or mobility constraints, confirm any slope or steps between arrival, reception and the booked room.
Read how to reach Karjat for the incoming journey and railway guidance for current service checks. The short mapped approach is not a reason to omit a return pickup, especially for a late departure.
What to check before booking an overnight stay
- Exact room category, occupancy, bed setup and whether extra guests are allowed.
- Pool access versus private-pool expectations and current facility availability.
- Meals included, dining venues operating and any dietary requests.
- Check-in, checkout, early-arrival and luggage arrangements.
- Station transfer, entrance access and return journey.
- Final price, taxes, extra-person charges, cancellation and rescheduling terms.
Request the written quote for your group and date rather than treating a general resort page as the package contract. No room rate, day-pass price or current availability is verified here. A facility may be advertised but temporarily closed or excluded from the rate.
Family, couple and group fit
For a family, ask about safe movement between room and pool, supervision and meals before prioritising a pool-access room. For a couple, compare the exact room and dining arrangements with the kind of break you want. For a group, clarify whether an event or banquet booking is separate from ordinary room access and what noise rules apply.
If the trip depends on a spa treatment, bar evening or a particular pool, confirm that one requirement directly. Do not make the booking decision from the number of amenities alone. The broad Karjat stay-choice guide helps compare a resort with a villa or simpler room.
Opening date and review limits
The keyword export also raised when the resort opened. The sources reviewed do not establish an independently verified opening date. This guide therefore does not attach a year from a review, social caption or similarly named property to Forest Club's history.
This is a sourced facilities-and-booking checklist, not a first-hand stay review. We have not inspected the rooms, tested the pool, visited the bar or evaluated service on a specific date. For an alternative setting, compare the riverside guide; for another style of weekend, use Karjat versus Matheran.
Sources and confirmation status
Checked September 30, 2026: operator dining page for Over The Top, Namak and Wooden Spoon; operator address; operator facilities; and pool-access room description. The map route below matched the advertised property. Bar policies, opening date, rates and availability remain unverified and must be checked for your booking.
