Take in a spectacular sunset, watch the stars start to sparkle into the Mumbai sky. Perched on the eighth floor of Marine Drive’s InterContinental hotel is the only space to soak in the glittering sweep of the Marine Drive. This sensuous rooftop bar started off as a romantic’s dream come true but over the past many years has become quite the scene of action. Here, candles in glass jars flicker to music, potted-palms glow mysteriously and an elegant dome houses a small, indoor bar. While the alfresco lounge sets 72, the more exclusive Pool Deck seats 26 and the glassed-in Rouge Bar. Their everyday DJ is from Akhtar’s house and Tuesday to Thursday lounge music is played here followed by saxophone and flute by Mr. Woody in the evenings. Ask for their signature cocktails… Margarita, Bellini, Kir Royale, Bull Frog, Long Island Iced Tea, Sex on the Beach, Cosmopolitan, and Black Russian along with Black Mojito and Chamomile Martini. Check out the menu of live grills (Sea Bass and Lamb Chops) and a sushi bar; Kebab Korner specialities too. Plenty for vegetarians… from Kapa Maki to Corn Mozzarella Tempura and Marwari Aloo. The Rouge Bar at the Dome is an ideal place for small parties and functions. You can book the pool deck too.
Note: Is it any wonder that Times UK Online, Forbes Traveler and Telegraph (UK) have voted Dome one of the top twenty open-air bars in the world!
