Privé

Mumbai's not-so-private party palace
Word to the wise: If you feel like going all out, reserve one of the VIP tables complete with its own butler.

Noteworthy for: Privé makes use of its velvet rope, so dress to impress. Guys, find a lady to escort in or you'll be waiting a while.
You can expect to drop at least INR 4000 on a night out at a Mumbai club, and gloomy-chic Privé is no exception; the price of a soda water alone could feed one of Mumbai's less fortunate residents for a week. Make the most of your experience and visit on a Wednesday or Saturday, when the club is really bangin'.

Having opened up its doors to non-members a few years back, Privé is popular with college club kids and young professionals - expect plenty of short skirts, sequins and champagne. If its not quite your scene, check out the interconnected Tetsuma. It's a little more casual and open just as late.
