If you searched for Dubki timings, here is the honest answer up front: we do not know the restaurant’s confirmed opening hours, and we are not going to make them up. Public listings for Dubki – Dawn & Dusk Bar in Vagator disagree with each other, and at least one has shown dining as temporarily closed. What we can do is show you how to check quickly, what to ask, and when the light on Ozran Beach is at its best.
Quick answer: Dubki’s opening hours are not confirmed. Call +91 86238 88190 on the day you plan to visit, ask what time the kitchen closes as well as the bar, and plan to arrive about 45 minutes before sunset, which in Goa falls between roughly 6:00 pm and 7:10 pm depending on the time of year.
Why we do not publish opening hours
Many restaurant guides copy hours from one listing to another, and errors spread fast. For Dubki, the public sources we have seen do not agree, and one listing marks dining as temporarily closed. Beach-side venues in Goa also change their hours with the season, for private events and around holidays such as Christmas and New Year.
Printing a fixed time would risk sending you across North Goa to a closed door. So this page tells you how to find out for yourself instead.
How to check Dubki timings
- Call the restaurant. The public reservation line is +91 86238 88190. This is the only source that can confirm the day’s hours.
- Look at the Google Maps listing. Search Dubki Dawn & Dusk Bar on Google Maps and check the hours and any “temporarily closed” note. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
- Check the date. Recent photos and reviews on the listing give a sense of whether the place has been open lately.
- Ask about special nights. Holiday weeks and event nights may run on different hours or need booking.
What to ask when you call
- Are you open today, and from what time?
- What time does the kitchen stop taking food orders?
- Does the bar stay open later than the kitchen?
- Can I book a table on the deck for sunset?
- Is there a DJ tonight, and does that affect entry?
The kitchen question matters. At many bars the last food order comes well before the bar closes, and if you are after the mutton mandi or the seafood paella you do not want to arrive just as the kitchen shuts.
Best time to visit by the light
The place is named Dawn & Dusk for a reason. Its decks face west over the Arabian Sea, so sunset is the big draw. Sunset times in Goa change less than in northern countries, but the shift is still worth knowing.
| Period | Approx. sunset in North Goa | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Late November to December | About 6:00–6:10 pm | Earliest sunsets of the year; peak season crowds |
| January to February | About 6:15–6:40 pm | Dry, clear skies; still busy |
| March to May | About 6:40–7:00 pm | Hotter, quieter, often hazy |
| June to September | About 7:00–7:10 pm | Monsoon; sunsets often hidden by cloud |
| October | About 6:05–6:25 pm | Season starting up again |
These are approximate times based on published sunrise and sunset tables for Goa. Check a sunset app for the exact day. For the best seats, aim to arrive 45 minutes to an hour before sunset; the light is softest in that window and the decks fill up fast. Our Dubki sunset visit guide has more on planning that slot.
After dark
Once the sun goes down, the building is lit with red neon and a DJ plays. If you prefer a quieter, conversation-friendly meal, early evening is likely to suit you better than late night.
Mornings
The “dawn” in the name suggests early hours may matter too, but we cannot confirm whether Dubki serves in the morning. Call before planning a breakfast trip.
Season considerations
North Goa’s tourist year broadly runs from October to May. December and early January are the busiest, with the heaviest traffic and the hardest parking. The monsoon months, roughly June to September, bring heavy rain, and many cliffside and beach venues across Goa reduce hours or close for a period. We do not know Dubki’s monsoon arrangements, so calling ahead matters even more at that time of year. See our guide to the best time to visit Vagator for a month-by-month view.
