If this tiny Bandra-based store looks like a trinket box, it’s because it is; Beg Borrow Steal is one of the best places to find vintage jewellery in the city. While all the big-name designers are here, the coolest pieces are often unbranded.
If the party looks like it wants to double down, head to Toto’s Garage – a funky, street-style bar just a short hop fromVeronica’s. While this place is not about frills – it’s styled like a mechanic’s garage, with everything from disused enginesto license plates – it’s high on energy. Go for the chilled beer, the 80s groove and the low-key crowd.
Two things are immediately apparent at this Bandra-based bar: the loud, street-style mural that washes the exterior, and the queue that slinks down the street. While some wait for this thoroughly fun diner-style vibe – bar snacks, sandos and a great by-the-glass wine list – others have an ulterior motive. For the floor above is home to Papa’s; the most exclusive 12-seat sister restaurant, whose tasting menu is the talk of the town.
Streetwear is huge in India. And, in this city, there’s no shortage of places to get your kicks – quite literally. There are skateboard-style clothing brands that’d certainly give Palace a run for its money. This concept store sells even the hardest to find drops.
Within the chic Juhu suburb is the 38 rooms of Soho House Mumbai. It's location, an easy commute to the city centre yet just yards away from the Arabian Sea, is phenomenal. But what draws us back again and again are the large rooms all boasting some of the finest Indian textiles and great art curations.
