It's that time of the week again when the number of messages asking 'What's the scene tonight?' goes up. And if you bookmark this article, you'll definitely have an answer.
In the last few months, Mumbai has witnessed the launch of a number of bars, the kind that inspire even the most anti-social, couch-loving person to show their fun moves on the dance floor.
So, here's a list of new bars in Mumbai that will contend for your attention in the coming months.
1. Please Don't Tell- PDT
PDT is not just a great place to sip on a few delicious cocktails, but even their food is amazing! Tucked away in a nondescript area of Lower Parel's Kamala Mills, to enter the place, you go through a red telephone box, dial a number and sweet talk your way past the operator before you're allowed in.
Where: Kamala Mills, OSS Compound, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, Lower Parel
Cost: ₹1,200 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
₹230 for a pint of beer (approx.)
2. R’Adda
The city comes alive at night, they say. If you're firming up your plans for the weekend and don't know where to head on Saturday night, R-Adda beckons. Located in Juhu, this is a great place to meet friends or head out with your partner. Go early around 7:30pm if you want a table. The crowds start pouring in an hour later and the vibe of the place is electric.
Where: Ramee Guestline Hotel, 462, A.B Nair Road, Juhu
Cost: ₹1,200 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
₹125 for a pint of beer (approx.)
3. Take It Easy
Take It Easy eases you in with a very Bohemian feel. With a minimalistic décor and menu, it is no-nonsense and to the point.
Where: New Link Road, Opposite Star Bazar, Andheri West
Cost: ₹1,500 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
₹149 for a pint of beer (approx.)
4. Masala Bar
Masala Bar is Zorawar Kalra's latest foray into the world of resto-bars after the phenomenal success of Farzi Café. Using some of the most advanced equipment, Masala Bar is a mixological exploration, much like a science laboratory showcasing the pinnacle of innovation.
Where: Level 1, Gagangiri Apartments, Carter Road, Bandra West
Cost: ₹2,500 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
5. Dishkiyaoon
Dishkiyaoon, at Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex, is a bright garden room with quintessential garden indoors and bright décor. If you're in this part of town, and like to experiment with food and drinks, this would be a good option.
Where: Ground Floor, The Capital Building, G Block, Bandra Kurla Complex
Cost: ₹1,200 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
₹230 for a pint of beer (approx.)
6. The Bar Terminal
The decor is vibrant and colourful as many of the design elements are recycled. The drinks menu is extensive, with many of the usual suspects, as well as some interesting cocktails. Try the Smoked Berry, a tequila-based drink with strawberry, served in a massive margarita glass, with the added theatre of berry-flavoured smoke.
Where: 6/8, Rajabahadur Mansion, Hamam Street, Next to Bombay Stock Exchange Building, Fort
Cost: ₹1,200 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
₹175 for a pint of beer (approx.)
7. Khar Social
If you’re a Social Offline fan, but hate traveling all the way to South Mumbai, I suggest you visit Khar Social as soon as possible. The thing which makes Khar social unique unlike any other social offline is that this one has a built in skateboard ramp housed in the compound. So, what are you waiting for?
Where: Rohan Plaza, 5th Road, S.V. Road, Khar West, Khar
Cost: ₹1,200 for two people (approx.) with alcohol
₹100 for a pint of beer (approx.)
Have a great weekend!
