Located on the top floor of the swank lake-facing five-star in the city, newly-opened Nox at the Westin Mumbai Powai Lake, isn’t just another bar. It’s a special Mumbai experience — luxe, expansive, and irresistibly vibe-y. With 9,800 square feet of beautifully done-up space (think rich wood tones, glassy breaks in texture, nooks and alcoves, curated lighting, huge bar, open kitchen), there’s a corner for every kind of night: girls’ night, expats in town, post-meeting hangouts, or that long overdue gang catch-up.

Procyon cocktail, Martini beyond and Tartufo e fungi

But what really sets Nox apart? The view. Panoramic Powai Lake covered by rain fog and the clink of cocktail glasses — it’s a sundowner scene that we long for in a space-starved city. The rooftop bar (with indoor and outdoor seating) has a lounge-y vibe that seamlessly translates across every aspect: from the crockery (textured plates that mimic lake ripples and starry skies), to the cocktails (that at times arrive lit and smoking), to the European and Mediterranean menu that covers all bases without making you overthink. Light bites, comfort food, wood-fired pizza, hearty mains, take your pick.
