Where To Drink In Mumbai This Weekend (20th to 22nd March)

Mid-March in Mumbai is a season of transition. As the city’s temperature climbs, the nightlife scene is moving indoors to high-concept "glasshouse" sanctuaries or gathering at the waterfront for the year’s most anticipated international festivals.

The weekend of March 20th to 22nd, 2026, is particularly significant, marking a "Super-Weekend" where global house music icons debut in Mazgaon, while the heart of the city celebrates the pinnacle of the racing season at Mahalaxmi. Whether you're looking for the raw energy of a hip-hop mosh pit or the velvet-draped silence of an invite-only speakeasy, here is your definitive guide to drinking in Mumbai this weekend.
