Bombay, Booze & the Bard

“Make it large,” – You’d often hear those words ringing in the ethos of the city of dreams. Its usage however, is not limited to boardrooms, workspaces or mindsets of the people here, but also in watering holes scattered across every corner of this city. From fishermen devouring their pavva in local taverns mid afternoon, to millennials guzzling shots in upscale bars at night – Mumbai and Mumbaikars love their drinks and have loved it, since time immemorial.

We focus on iconic bars that have significantly contributed to the alcohol history and the drinking culture in the city. You’ll learn about how once Goan ‘aunties’ ran what were Mumbai’s speakeasies during prohibition or about the rum that has for decades been India’s favourite across age groups.
