Mumbai Nightlife
SMILE! You're in Mumbai...the epicenter of entertainment in India.
The last few years have seen Mumbai nightlife reaching a feverish pitch with the influx of global entertainment brands in India.
Lots of new nightclubs and bars have popped up in Mumbai in the last couple of years offering the nocturnal tourist a wide variety of places to choose from like cocktail clubs, hard-rock spots, pubs, coffeehouses and piano-bar restaurants scattered throughout the city. The music menu is enticing too- techno, rock, jazz, western...
The uptown area is where all the magic of English-style pubs still lingers, with places like Leopold's and Cafe Mondegar's being the hot favorites. These are frequented by foreigners, but are a hit with native insomniacs too. A few clubs catering to the teenyboppers have sprung up in the western suburbs of Mumbai, usually playing loud pop or bollywood music.
Club regulars are an eclectic mix of the film-star wannabes of Bandra, the yuppies of the Mulund and the alternative-lifestylers of Kandivli. Overall, however, the Mumbai night goers hail from all corners of the city.
Being a costal city, Mumbai is linear and that makes commuting a lot easier here unlike other metros like Delhi or Chennai. The public transport in Mumbai too is reliable and available till the wee hours of the night or early morning. Most clubs have a cover charge or entrance fee (100-400 rupees per head) and close around midnight.
