    The workload from your office that might demand you put in extra hours can definitely be a mood dampener, but nothing lifts spirits like an after-work drink, even on a weekday. When the cold and potent cocktails mix with the chatter of good friends, happiness lingers in the air and the week ahead becomes a tad bit easy.

    With the rather fancy bars making their way into Mumbai, we have rounded off a list of some of the most affordable bars in the city where you can go and grab a drink without burning a hole in your pocket. Chuggit?

    Social

    Colaba Social

    Colaba, Mumbai
    ORDER HERE

    When Social first opened their doors in Mumbai, everyone flocked the bar to get a taste of what Bengaluru and Delhi were raving about! With drinks like Shimla Mirch Martini and their popular Bob's Bong L.I.I.T, Social became the go-to bar for drinks with friends (we'd go alone too). Today, Socials is spread across 12 outlets in the city. We love the Versova Social, which is also the newest in the gang, and has a whole greenery theme going on there. They also serve delicious food, be it finger food or main courses; you might want to pair it with your favourite drink and have a gala time (in your tummies too).

    Shell Out: Cocktails here start at INR 295

    Monkey Bar

    Monkey Bar

    Bandra West, Mumbai
    BOOK TABLE

    If you know us, you'd be aware of how much we love hanging around Bandra and we found Monkey Bar, an absolute gem to dine and wine at. From desi cocktails to Indianized food, this gastropub hits just the right notes for a chill evening with friends. We loved the Saat Rasta (it's a legit drink) and the Chocolate Pot De Creme With Salted Caramel (oh drool).

    Shell Out: Cocktails here start at INR 420 approximately.

    Radio Bar

    Radio Bar

    Khar, Mumbai
    +919819781021

    From the guys behind Silver Beach Cafe and Copa, comes Khar’s Radio Bar. With elements like cassettes, vinyl records and microphones, it’s retro ambience makes it worth the visit with your tribe. With your drinks, you could try their signature tenderloin chilly fry and butter garlic prawns. 

    Shell Out: Cocktails here start at INR 315.

    Doolally

    Doolally Taproom

    Kemps Corner, Mumbai
    ORDER HERE

    This one’s a special mention for the beer-lovers (for some, nothing else matters). Its famous Apple Cider, Wheat Beer and Oatmeal Stout are worth the try. They also whip up some delicious dishes. Don't forget to try their House Fries-they never disappoint.

    Shell Out: Pints here start at INR 200.

    Pop Tate's

    Pop Tate's

    Lower Parel, Mumbai
    BOOK TABLE

    Pop Tate's is a very convenient joint. And since its almost everywhere in the city, chilling there post work is very ideal. The food's good, the cocktails and drinks are reasonably priced and the service is great too. What else does one need when on a budget? Oh and try the jungle cooler and guava mary when you're at the joint 

    Shell Out: INR 299 onward
