The Daily All Day
Like the name suggests, you can literally visit them daily, and we don’t see how that can be a problem. The place provides a fine balance of quirky interiors with luxury seating. We LOVE the funky cocktails, the vibe and the great food. You must try What the wow, and Night Walker made with everybody’s favourite Johnnie Walker. Pair it with some spicy Kung Pao Cottage Cheese Steak and Slow Roasted Roma Tomato with Spaghetti. We’ve heard their boozy sunday drunches are totally awesome, starting at INR 1400++ and you must try that out asap!

Taftoon
Nestled in BKC, Taftoon is a great option if you want to indulge in bottomless drinks and a culinary experience like none other! With the menu and the theme inspired from the Grand Trunk Road belt (from Kabul to Chittagong), the dishes are carefully curated and the cocktails are like the journey that you’d hate to see, end (read: stop flowing). Try their smoked sliced lamb in rich gravy (Peer Dhuan Gosht), and their signature whiskey based cocktails, Bee Sting, & our absolute favourite The Grand Trunk Cocktail made with The Singleton.

Khar Social
Truly making casual dining a vibe, Social is our favourite OG hang-out spot for a quick post-work (& OOO) drink & dine. Oh how we missed sipping on the freshest iced Social LIITs! Try their “Bubble Trouble” made with Ketel One Vodka and bubble gum syrup and “Purple Haze” made with Tanqueray Gin infused with Butterfly Pea Tea. You can pair it up with the Social Signature China Box and Butter Chilli Garlic Momos. What we really like about this place is the fact that everything that you find at this place is 100% upcycled, and/or made with sustainable materials. Talk about guilt-free indulgence! Khar Social also hosts a lot of fun events. It’s one place that keeps giving and we honestly are not complaining.

145
Paying homage to the spirit of Mumbai, the menu of 145 is inspired by local favourite delicacies yet giving it a fresh, authentic spin to suit the modern palate. The artwork on the ceilings (featuring fun glasswork, wheels and utensils) and wall paintings are an extension of that and the place offers a warm, and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia with its offerings like the cotton candy heads and iced lollies. Their menu has an exciting range of cocktails like “Sunny all night long” made with a mixture of tequila, gin and vodka, with some really great comfort food options like mac and cheese, shawarmas and freakshakes.

Perch
Perched in Bandra in the cozy bylanes of Carter Road, Perch is exactly where you must head to catch-up with friends over cocktails, coffee, and free-flowing conversation. The place is aesthetic with minimalist ambience, cozy nooks, easy on the eye and is all about good vibes. And in case you want to sit quietly and work at your own pace, it is really good for that too. Besides their staple coffee menu, their cocktail offerings are honestly great too. We absolutely love their shrub cocktails which are available in variants like beetroot, celery and coffee, and gives a very herby and close-to-earth experience.

Pro-Tip:
Sanitisers and masks have become the new norm, and we’re happy to see restaurants and bars taking care of all the covid protocols set in place. In case you missed out, Diageo Bar Academy is #RaisingTheBar once again by providing our favourite bars with aid and support to make sure these outlets have all the necessary safety precautions. This global initiative includes equipping the outlets with sanitisation machines, IR thermometers, masks and gloves for the staff and training sessions for the bartenders/employees to help them welcome back customers safely.
