There will be more snooze than booze this New Years' Eve at the iconic Bombay Gymkhana. The tony south Mumbai club has not been allowed a liquor licence for its New Year's Eve bash, which means no alcohol will be served to revellers bringing in 2017 under the stars at the club lawns. Those who fancy a tipple can still head to the bar in clubhouse, but that is restricted to members.
