I Bar, Mumbai

Located in the suddenly-hip Reclamation lane, tucked in between pubs and restaurants is I BAR, which is not just a loungecum- bar but much more. It’s a great place to catch a drink or two as you groove to some great music. On Thursday nights, electronica rules the roost, while on other nights rock and even acoustic live music sets the mood. The fresh fruit cocktail list is enticing as are the shots that are created using a molecular mixology technique! Don’t give the food a miss; the appetisers and dips are scrumptious. The drinks are not expensive on the whole (`200 for a beer). I BAR also has an interactive bar, which is quite a touch-sensory blast. In keeping with the whole new-age and interactive theme, you won’t miss the iPads that serve as menu cards and are available at each table to have a look at photos of dishes and view their nutritional value too. The ambience is fantastic; a purplish haze of mood lighting sweeps the entire lounge. Visit on Monday nights to participate in Open Mic Nights, poetry slams and more; Thursday nights is for the ladies and soon you can expect fun events like art meets and bartending workshops! 7, 8 Geliki, ONGC building no 2, Bandra Reclamation.
