Club Colaba
Taking its name from the legendary Colaba area of Mumbai (or as we prefer to call it, Bombay), Club Colaba occupies two standalone shophouses. Walking in, you’re greeted by an altar, traditional Indian adornments, the scent of jasmine and a thick haze of incense. Its wide dance floor is ideal for the clubbing crowd who keep the party going till the early hours seven days a week.
Khazana
Decked out in classy wooden carvings and plush lounge chairs, and located above the Archipelago Brewery flagship bar, Khazana offers two levels of comprehensive entertainment. On the second floor, you have a live band accompanied by dancers, not to mention a retro light-up disco floor. On the third floor, you’ve got DJs.
Bollywood Dhoom
A small metal figure in a Namaste pose on the door welcomes you to this cozy little pub promising “live performance by exotic Indian dancers.” Bollywood Dhoom delivers just that, and lets you get up close and personal with your entertainers. The lovely ladies strutting their stuff in traditional garb are mere feet away from the tables. The place also has a more than decent selection of whiskies and other spirits.
The Rupee Room
Well, the only Gandhian thing about this upscale joint is the minimalist décor but it does come in a plump shade of purple that would make any Bollywood starlet purr in delight. The intimate, cozy atmosphere is ideal for friends to meet up over cocktails and scrumptious Indian and fusion accented canapés. And if you are tanked up on liquid courage, bust out moves like Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai as the DJs spin a mix of lounge and Hindi tunes.
