Back in 1933, Mumbai got its first licensed bar in the form of Harbour Bar in The Taj Mahal Palace. A far cry from the new age, EDM-churning pubs, it was a place where aristocrats, archaeologists and artists would drop in for a night of revelry, swaying to jazz and sipping on cocktails from the Prohibition era. If you're keen to take a walk down memory lane, head for Speakeasy Saturdays, a new, weekly affair that recreates the time.
