As the cocktail culture advances to offer some of the most unique concoctions that can be created by man, Mumbai is adding bars by the minute on its land. But sifting through them all, here are five bars which have impressed me the most!

1. AER Mumbai: Located on the rooftop of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, AER Mumbai is still one of the swankiest rooftop bars in the city, if not the highest. The modernist, architectural AER Mumbai makes for a truly memorable drinking and dining experience. There’s an attention to detail that’s rare for Mumbai’s fast growing epicurean scene. Serving an array of chic gourmet teasers, and tapas-style menu, AER Mumbai proves to be a refreshing change to the almost clichéd dining scene in Mumbai.

2. ASILO, St. Regis Mumbai: The newly refurbished Asilo Lounge, located on the 40th floor of the St. Regis hotel, and probably the highest rooftop bar in Mumbai now, offers casual cool with a slice of glamour. With a unique Zen-like vibe and an elegant Mediterranean feel, Asilo has a Cutting-edge, bi-level design. Revel in some gorgeous views of the Arabian Sea.

3. Dome, InterContinental Mumbai: One of the original rooftop bars in Mumbai, Dome has been pleasantly catering well to the millennials of Mumbai. Offering some stunning views of the Marine Drive, Dome impresses not just with its beyond-the-horizon panaroma, but also with its list of wines, cocktails and even cigars. Definitely, a must-try.

4. Harbour Bar, Taj Mahal Palace Hotel: Coming down to earth, Harbour Bar has the distinction of being the first licensed bar in Mumbai. It opened in 1933, and is still running strong. Although renovated and more contemporary now, nothing can replace the regal feel that this bar has always possessed. Still the go-to place for many, Harbour Place is hands-down an all-round winner for atmosphere, taste and style.

5. Olive Bar & Kitchen: Although not a bar exactly, this glamourous venue boasts ‘Thursday’s Bar Nights’. The restaurant is known to attract some of the most well-known diaspora of Mumbai. No better reason to make a beeline here if you want to welcome the weekend with some panache. Bring in the holiday with creative cocktails such as Jalapeno Honey or Garden of Eden.
Coordinates: No. 14, Nargis Dutt Rd, Union Park, Khar West, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

What is Teppanyaki? Understanding Japanese Cuisine.

Although there is much involved in the creation of delectable Japanese cuisine, Teppanyaki forms a large part of it, which many misunderstand to be same as hibachi or just grilled food. By: Soumya Jain Japan’s cuisine is as technically precise as it is creating a watch or jewelry. The fish has to be placed just the way and seaweed rolled with just enough pressure to be able to present a perfectly made sushi. Apart from the more popular sushi and sashimi, Teppanyaki also forms a part of Japanese cuisine. To put it in easy words, Teppanyaki uses an iron griddle to cook food. In Japan, ‘teppanyaki’ refers to dishes cooked using an iron plate, including steak, shrimp, vegetables, okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake), yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles), and monjayaki (also a kind of savory Japanese pancake). Modern teppanyaki grills are typically propane-heated flat surface grills and are widely used to cook food in front of guests at restaurants. Teppanyaki grills are commonly ...

Unconventional Men’s Fashion Payal Singhal

Menswear is going through a revolution. It’s becoming increasingly androgynous and fluid. We talk about some designers who are leading the revolution. By: Soumya Jain Solids, checks and straight. That was the essential checklist of a man’s wardrobe. Not anymore. The millennial man is experimenting with colors, patterns, silhouettes and styles like never before. And there are designers and brands that are fueling this trend with creations that are vibrant and creative in never-seen-before ways. Of crazy designs Alessandro Michele, perhaps, has especially revolutionized menswear in an unprecedented manner. His men sport gowns, long wigs, cloth dungarees, blood red jackets with pink collar, loafers with heels, kohl-lined eyes, ill-fitted trousers – and many other such non-traditional elements. Ever since Alessandro Michele joined Gucci, he has honed on his skill to shock with his collections, and I don’t hear anyone complaining. Catapulting Gucci into one of the highest ...
