Compared to the rest of the country Mumbai’s social calendar is always full. Cinema, theatre, fashion shows and charity shows, wine and cheese launches, eclectic art exhibitions and cultural dos are regular events. Each of these is a window to a different social world - you will meet artsy types and business cliques, society memsahibs and film folk, all as different as chalk from cheese. Like New York, this is a city that never sleeps. Even on weekdays, pubs are crawling with young people, late night movies play to a full house and restaurants are usually booked solid.
Nightlife: Mumbai considers itself to be the capital of Indian nightlife. Certainly, the bars and clubs offer enough variety to satisfy even the most jaded palate. The passion for the English-style pub is being challenged by the chic bar-restaurant formula, offering the city’s wealthier inhabitants a dazzling choice of places in which to spend their money. Many of the best bars are located in Colaba and along Marine Drive. The prevailing atmosphere is informal, a jacket and tie is almost never required, but Mumbai residents like to be well turned-out and the atmosphere of some establishments is decidedly chic. Many bars and clubs operate a couples-only policy, for members and non-members alike, and charge an entrance fee. Licensing hours are 1130-2330 and the legal minimum drinking age is 21 years. Five-star hotels have an extension to enable them to sell alcohol until 2430 and many of the larger international hotels have a nightclub on the premises as well.
