in the capital of Maharashtra.
6 Degrees (Lounge)
Address: The Leela Kempinski, Sahar Road
Review: A cosmopolitan bar, 6 Degrees has a very cheerful and
relaxed ambience. The snug sofas have been chiseled with refined wood,
while the glass facade bar is enough to lure you to have a few more
drinks. The lounge music helps you to relax and unwind after a hectic
day. The signature cocktails of the house are beautifully complimented
by delectable snacks.
Café Mocha (Coffee Shop)
Address: Hill Road - Bandra, Veer Nariman Road - Juhu and Juhu
Tara Road - Churchgate
Review: This café has the typical laid-back ambience that
makes you feel right at home. Infact, it is the simplicity of the place
that takes away your heart. The smell of flavored Hookah's that fills
the air takes you back in time, especially when it is accompanied with
waiters dressed in Moroccan Hats. The coffee served here is just awesome
and you have numerous favors to choose from.
Enigma (Discotheque)
Address: JW Marriott Hotel, Juhu Tara Road, Juhu
Review: Sprawled over an area of 4200 square feet, Enigma is the
perfect hangout for those for whom partying means dancing till wee hours
of the night. It comprises of a lounging area, two bars and a cigar
room. The exotic interiors of the bar and lounge have been adorned with
rich colors every now and then. The gold trappings and black textures
further add to the appeal of the place. You can shake a leg, have a few
drinks or just laze around and take off all your steam.
Insomnia (Discotheque)
Address: The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Apollo Bunder, Colaba
Review: The discotheque lives upto the reputation of the Taj
Group of Hotels. The ambience is regal and the décor just
charming. The entire place has been divided into a lounge area, a
member's lounge, a mezzanine lounge and a dance floor, each one of them
with a separate bar. The best and the finest of spirits, wines and
cocktails can be had here and the music is just awesome.
New Yorkers (Restaurant)
Address: Juhu Gymkhana Road - Juhu, Chowpatty Sea Face and Kings
Circle
Review: If you are planning a family outing, then the New
Yorkers is just the place for you. On a usual day, you can expect a
waiting time of anywhere around one hour. Even amongst teenagers, this
place is quite popular. The restaurant serves mainly Italian and Mexican
cuisine. Its Nacho's, Sizzlers, Pizza's, and Sundaes are definitely
worth having.
Vie Lounge (Restobar - Lounge)
Address: Juhu Tara Road, Opposite Little Italy, Santacruz (West)
Review: Located on the Juhu Beach, the Vie Lounge scores highest
points on its ambience. There is also a dance floor, where you can shake
a leg or two. The music is fantastic and the food delicious. The outdoor
deck & bar outside is complete with a barbecue grill. The cuisine is
Mediterranean and very-very tasty. The best time to hit the lounge is
weekends, when it is visited by the most happening crowd.
