Where To Drink In Mumbai This Weekend (24th - 26th April)

As April draws to a close, Mumbai is leaning into its summer identity. The city’s nightlife is currently defined by two extremes: high-altitude rooftop escapes designed to catch the fading sea breeze and high-concept indoor dens where the AC is as crisp as the Martinis.

The weekend of April 24th to 26th, 2026, is a sensory feast. From a massive chocolate and bakery takeover at the exhibition centers to an intimate evening of Sufi melodies in the suburbs, the city is buzzing with a unique "late-summer" energy. Whether you’re looking for a "Gin Fest" vibe or a mystery-led cocktail experience, here is your definitive guide to drinking in Mumbai this weekend.
