There is no party quite like a Mumbai weekend party! From some of the wildest dance moves on the floor to some of the most raging music, you would possibly come across to some of the loudest cheers during a huge football game to the cheers as a friend celebrates a birthday or an achievement or just a group of friends reuniting after a long time in a city that has something on offer for everyone, the nightlife in Mumbai is diverse, defining and one that will stay with you long after your partying years are behind you.

When we say this, we are talking about the weekends where people flock into a number of pubs and clubs with their favorite company in tow to help them laugh, cheer and scream their lungs out with their favorite drinks and food accompanying them on their tables. There are so many amazing pubs in Mumbai that it will take us quite some time to write them down (extra time added as we sit and remember the times we enjoyed there), so we have narrowed the list down to the ones that are popular for all the reasons mentioned above and more.

Lord of the Drinks: A cool-sounding name with an atmosphere to back it all up, Lord of the Drinks is one of the hippest places you will come across town. Situated in Lower Parel, a part of Mumbai full of commercial avenues and a dynamic working population between the age group of 23 to 40, Lord of the Drinks enjoys footfalls on weekends like crazy. They also have a second location in Andheri, and both of these venues have soared in popularity because of the great things they offer. The Lower Parel location was established in 2018 and is home to the longest bar in Asia behind which you will find bartenders working their magic and delivering drinks that will make you fall in love with the place. Accompanying the great cocktails is a wholesome food that will get over in no time because of how delicious it is. Lord! We cannot tell you what you will be missing out on if you haven’t been to LOTD.

The Bar Stock Exchange: A cool concept taken from the infamous stock exchanges, The Bar Stock Exchange allows people to trade in alcohol and spirits with the prices starting from retail prices on occasions. If you come, for this reason, you will stay for many more. With the prices changing on real-time demand, the pressure is always on you to make every second count, quite a long way away from the relaxing environment you would sometimes want at a pub. Something different to think about the next time you want to party on the weekend. It is a chain of pubs with nine locations that are open for up to two hours post-midnight.
