Razzberry Rhinoceros

Mumbai, India

In the 1990s, Razzberry Rhinoceros (fondly known as “Razzys”) was India’s only rock and metal bar. After closing for several years, the iconic venue has metamorphosed into a cultish space with five distinct zones: bistro, patio, bar, deck and a members-only section. All have different menus and vibes, but the deck is a standout, with sprawling sea views, swaying palms and cocktails on tap. It’s more al-fresco dining than grimy rock bar, but it hasn’t lost touch with its history. The venue’s legacy attracts local and international acts from all genres – expect anything from rock to sufi or EDM.

AntiSOCIAL

Mumbai, India

AntiSOCIAL is a jack-of-all-trades. The underground industrial hangout is found in the basement of Khar Social – a collaborative workspace for artists, designers and innovators, where you can snack on anything from blueberry pancakes to steak and eggs. In the evening, it’s a culture-vulture’s paradise, hosting comedy jams, poetry readings and movie screenings. Alternatively, turn up in the early hours and it’s a thumping, sweaty nightclub with surplus cocktails and sets from the likes of Boiler room, HVOB and Actress that greets you. They also serve up a “hangover breakfast” every morning, meaning you really could stay here 24/7.
