Hack The Theka: Where To Get Alcohol Post-One AM In Mumbai

It’s one of our oldie but a goodie recommendations. A SoBo favourite, Gokul is that one local bar everyone goes to at some point in their life for two reasons, cheap booze and cheap booze. It may take a bit of convincing on your part to get alcohol delivered home past midnight, but once you’re a regular, that’s your go-to-place post midnight.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 3am

Partying in Bandra, and don’t want to step out? That’s fine. Just call up Deepak wines and they’ll deliver to your doorstep. Deepak’s will also deliver food, cigarettes, and pretty much anything else if we ask nicely and tip well.

Keep in mind, they might take a while to deliver on nights that they have a lot of orders, so keep checking in on your order with a phone call or two.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 4am

Another one of the suburban gems, Pinky wines offers late night delivery/or pick up option for the party enthusiasts. Their repertoire tends to be slightly limited, so we would advise that you follow our suit and keep your orders basic.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 1.30am

Turns out, drinking cheap generally involves below average ambience, sort of questionable hygiene and obviously, your typical middle-aged uncles crowd.

This tiny bar in Versova is our go-to stop for cheap alcohol. Call ahead if you’re going to pick up – this bar tends to be unpredictable, and sometimes closes shop early if facing problems with the cops.

Pick up: Until 1.30 am

A Bandra-favourite, Janata Bar is the suburb’s answer to SoBo. This pretty iconic yet tiny bar popular among all, delivers home till 1.30 am. Post this, just drop by the this place, and place your order directly to one the waiters for a quick drink or two, or do a pick up.

Bonus: you can do a quick drive-by here if you’re in a car or a taxi. Just stop near the bar and a waiter will come take your order through the car window.

Delivery/Pick up: Open until 2.30am, delivery until 1.30am

For the residents of Khar Pali West, hit up this place for late-night deliveries. You can also drop by and pick up alcohol. Keep in mind ladies, the area around this bar can get a little shady at night. Be careful if walking to this bar, and opt for home-delivery if possible.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 5am

Not for the low-lit ambience, or the dodgy tables but definitely for cheap alcohol and cheap kebabs, this bar in Andheri is open till 1 am.

However, if coming to the place isn’t on the agenda, just give them a call, and get alcohol delivered to your home uptil 4.30am. One caveat: they take their unofficial ‘last orders’ at 4am, so plan accordingly.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 4.30am

A Shankari-like deal for the Powai folks, Sagar is a budget bar offering cheap food and drinks. Fun fact: Sagar also has really good food. We liked their dal khichdi, which was just how mom used to make it. If you’re feeling hungry, this is the place for some late-night comfort food – as well as one last drink.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 3am

Andheri West’s cousin, Andheri East folks, fret not. Get your fix of booze from here. They won’t deliver to you, but you can always go and sweet-talk them in to letting you buy some post 1am. We advise you to build up a good rapport with them with lavish tips and friendliness – you won’t regret it.

For the Dadar dwellers, good news. This bar near the Dadar Railway station is the answer to ‘where do we get alcohol from’ misery – it’s cheap and open until the wee hours of night. It’s not a regular classy place, but if you head in a group, it’s decent enough.

Women – don’t head here alone, better to be safe than sorry.

Delivery/Pick up: Until 4.30 am
