Where to go for your next night-out

If great drinks, incredible bar food and heady music sounds like your scene, we’ve rounded up just where you need to be after the clock strikes 6pm at your office today.  

Hoppipola, Mumbai

The crowd-favourite chain’s Khar outlet now boasts new interiors with the old DJ space being turned into a private section, community-dining-like bar tables and a whole new menu. Expect liquor-infused oreos for shots, cocktails meant to be sipped out of bird cages and medicinal drips and marshmallows served up with tea lights for your own table barbecue. We love.

Number 8 Kitchen & Bar, Delhi

The resto-bar spans three floors, letting you choose between their fine dining seating, the bar or out on the terrace. My personal favourites have to be the wild mushroom and red wine risotto and the falvourful sambhal spiced fish with raw mango salad. Plus, the espresso martini served with a bar of kit-kat makes for just the right blend of drinks and dessert.

Indigo Deli, Mumbai

In case you’re looking for a spot to unwind after a long week (we’ve all been there!), head over to Indigo Deli in Bandra and check out their new bar, that was recently launched in association with Chandon. Amongst their signature cocktails, the Guava and Sriracha margarita stands out. It is guava juice with vodka shaken in Thai chilli sauce with their in-house BBQ rub on the rim. The new bar nibbles menu compliments the cocktails. Don’t miss the Old Monk Glazed chicken wings with blue cheese dip or the Ham and Onion croquettes and Mushroom basil pepper salt.

Play, Mumbai

If traditional games with a drinking twist (think Ludo with shots!) sounds like your idea of a fun night, Play is going to be your new favourite haunt. Designed by ex-Two One Two Bar & Grill chef Mikhail Shahani, the place converts to a lounge at night. Other than the wide array of games (alco hockey, king cups and beer pong) and the accompanying drinks, the exquisite presentation of the dishes will definitely take your Insta cred up a notch.
