Under the starlit sky, Night life in Mumbai twinkles with live music scene

After the din of the day has ebbed, the water fronts on the eastern harbour and marina bays on the west coast of the Arabian Sea come alive. When the stars make their appearance in the ink blue sky, the night life in Mumbai twinkles. There is live music scene to choose from or a quiet dinner on a waterfront property. But first the music, which has become an inseparable part of the nocturnal life.

Blue Frog, pioneers in introducing new artists

It’s cobalt blue and white strobes that form the backdrop with the latest musical instruments-and the stage is set for one more night to enthrall the eager crowds who come in drives like faithfuls to the church. There is nothing like listening to a live band and enjoying the starlit ambience. Guests come from all over the city and suburbs to enjoy the music scene.

Hang out at the cafes

It’s not that every night anyone likes to guzzle the spirited drinks. But with chugging a few beers at a good ole pub can work like magic and soothe the weary soul. Café Mondegar offers the right ambience-for its juke box and beer. It is retro, full of Irani food and burgers to eat-if that is all that you want from this star lit night. Café Leopold also is a favourite haunt for friends to get together and discuss what they did during the day.

Appease the stomach

The gastronomical wonders in Mumbai’s party scene is unrivalled. From tapas bars to sushi spreads, from tex-mex grill to molecular cuisine, from Italian to Greek, Mumbai on a plate can be a trip around the world. If you want a quiet mid-week dinner date or want to bring down the house with your buddies on Friday night, you are assured of a variety of food and beverage options. But the important thing is to book for easy entry. Many of the hotspots get crowded quickly. Prior booking is helpful. Not all spots have cover charges, so if you want to save some and still have a nice, premium experience – there are plenty of places.
