The 16 Best Bars in Mumbai

Mumbai mixes its drinks from a very Indian pantry. The best bars in Mumbai sit in the old mill compounds of Lower Parel and Mahalaxmi, in Bandra West and Bandra Kurla Complex, and in the heritage streets of Fort and Kala Ghoda, and their lists reach for local flavor: mahua at Bandra Born, noon chai, rasam and Malvani masala at Bombay Daak, garam masala bitters at The Bombay Canteen. The Bombay Canteen, at Kamala Mills, was No. 35 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2023 and on the 51-100 list in 2022, 2024 and 2025, and Americano in Kala Ghoda has been ranked on 30 Best Bars India five times. Around them are AER on the 34th floor of the Four Seasons in Worli, Harbour Bar at the Taj Mahal Palace, which holds the city's first bar license, and newer rooms like Paradox and Late Checkout, both set in old mill compounds. AER enforces a dress code, so dress for it. These are the sixteen we would start with.
