Western Suburbs
Aer
LOUNGE
(Four Seasons Hotel, 34th fl, 114 Dr E Moses Rd, Worli; cover ?2000-2500 Wed-Sat after 8pm; 5.30pm-1.30pm)
With astounding city views on one side and equally impressive sea and sunset views on
the other, rooftop Aer is India's tallest and most stunning lounge. You'll need to remort-
gage your home for a cocktail (?850), but the ?350 Kingfishers are a steal at these views.
A DJ spins low-key house and techno nightly from 9pm, but Aer is more about the eye
candy, both near and far.
Mocha Mojo
(Hill Rd, Bandra West, near Holy Family Hospital; 10am-12.30am; )
It's a little run-down, but the
Mocha's Bandra branch is still good for coffee, all-day breakfasts or a beer in a funky, fu-
turistic space.
CAFE
Big Nasty
(1st fl, 12 Union Park, Khar West, above Shatranj Napoli; 7pm-12.30am)
The decor may be industrial,
but the Nasty is fun and unpretentious. It's best known for its cheap drinks - beers (in-
cluding, mysteriously, Miller High Life) from ?160, glasses of wine from ?350 - and its
'all-American classic beef burger' (?240).
BAR
NIGHTCLUB
Trilogy
(Hotel Sea Princess, Juhu Tara Rd, Juhu; cover per couple after 11pm ?2000; closed Tue)
Trilogy was closed
at research time for 'renovations' (actually bureaucratic permit snafus), but Mumbaikars
expect it to return to its throne as nightclub queen of Mumbai as soon as it's back. The tri-
level space, like the clientele, is gorgeous, with a black granite dance floor lit up by LED
