Tryst Nightclub in Mumbai

Tryst manages to mash together the feel and ambiance of a nightclub with the elegance of a high class restaurant. Come here with your friends for a new year party that is equal times fun and classy. There’s pumped up music to perpetuate an energized atmosphere however there isn’t a dance floor because the important aspect here is to connect with people; there are only nine tables and each table gets personal service. Responsive and novelty lights with personal screens allow you to display heartfelt or even silly messages to the people you love.

Of course they throw in a little old school Bollywood tunes from time to time to hit us with a wave of nostalgia. This is the perfect place to go for a New Year party in Mumbai; it’s laidback but not too casual, not very expensive however it’s still got its own style, an ideal spot to just chill with your friends and loved ones.

DROP

DROP has a different kind of vibe from the last club on our list; a high energy nightclub, it is one where you go to vent out all your pent up energy and let loose. The best place to unwind and host late night soirees.
