Catch an Arabian Sea sunset in serious style

Tipple of choice: This bar screams for sunset cocktails. Start your night with a sweet basil Bloody Mary.

Word to the wise: Jazz fan? A saxophone and flute artist performs in the bar from Tuesday through Thursday (6.30pm - 9.30pm).

This romantic bar perched on the rooftop of the Intercontinental Hotel is arguably the best place in the city to take in a Mumbai sunset and the twinkling lights of Marine Drive below. Get here as the bar opens to ensure you bag a good spot - in the eponymous dome, perhaps.

Cushy white sofas hug white tables on the breezy terrace, illuminated by candlelight after dark. There's proper cocktails available here, along with grilled snacks and, should the mood strike you, a selection of cigars.
