7 Rooftop Bars In Mumbai That Are A Must Visit
Beautiful views of the expansive waters, boats mooring on the harbour front and thousands of twinkling lights adorning the marina make for an experience of the bustling Mumbai which requires few descriptive. This vibe has been documented countless times in pictures, songs, movies and dialogue, because the essence of Mumbai lies in the salty waters holding the city together. You can enjoy a wonderful view of the seas from atop many rooftop places that have cropped up in Mumbai through the decades.
These spaces are known as much for their food and drink as their dance floors and party settings, where you can let loose and have fun. There are also quiet spots that serve as a getaway from a noisy city, where you can enjoy cool breezes in a relatively humid climate.
