Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door: Mumbai’s Skyline Welcomes Aer Bar The mint new Aer bar arrives a la casa in the clouds in maverick Mumbai

By Shilpi Madan

Aer, the prized rooftop bar perched on the 34th floor at Four Seasons Mumbai, makes a dishy dive into the city’s skyline, a year after it slipped into the refurbishment mode. Clean nautical lines, a giant-glass laden façade to cocoon the rooftop location from the imminent monsoon; a stunning retractable roof and killer cocktails compose the experience at the much-loved location in the city.

The launch night brought in a live band playing on the upper deck, arranged cleverly at a split level inside the expansive bar that exudes nightclub vibes. Come here to chill, linger over a drink, while gazing at the unending view of Mumbai’s skyscrapers, or soak up the shimmying lights below the stars. Catch a precious sundowner as the warm colours of the sunset fill up the elegant décor lined space. Unmissable cocktails by award winning mixologist Alexandre Renoue bring in the darling Mumbai Yacht Club, and a spicy sip in the Bombay Sapphire mocktail with its whimsical frothiness. Choose from an unrivalled menu of malts and mind blowing spirited pours, nibble on the delicious trio of mezze, tuck in the rubian baked prawns with feta crumble – the flatbreads are a lip smacking pick in small plates as you sway to the pulsating beats of the music.

Sin city has clearly gained a diva-esque dimension. On a high.
