Wink

Here, the vibe is still chilled out, there are no hassles getting in and the music is pumped-up as the night wears on. Flirtatious black jalis create private spaces between the high-octane bar area and the more sedate comfy seating one. Wink makes it to our "must-visit list" for several reasons... there is action and sophistication, for a price of course. Plenty of action here. Monthly event, Molecular Mixology, aged barrel cocktails (first bar to do so in Mumbai) and infusion cocktails too. Pramod, the bartender won the best molecular mixology bartender in Mumbai too. At this Times Nightlife 2011 awards winner, there is sushi and martinis the largest and most exclusive collection of spirits, and great music too. A huge choice of rare malts, wines, vodkas, regular scotches, signature specials, specially created Winktinis... all hand-crafted by the winner of the Bacardi competition and Wink Bartender Pramod (ask for the Scarlet Dragon and Reina del Caribbean). You name it, they got it, including Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac and fancy cigars. Broad beans, Wasabi nuts and green olives are served with all drinks. Check out the Chocolate Mochi, the Yellow Fin Sushi, and Asian Baby Corn here. The bar opens in the evening and it’s the older crowd nursing their single malts till 9.30pm. DJ Priyesh pumps his beats for us everyday and a live band plays once a month on a Saturday (Jonqi-Percusion music). Post 10pm, the younger lot floats in to party.

P.S. Don’t miss the flute and drum performance by Jonqi.
