Calling all sports lovers! The most awaited time of the year is finally here with the advent of the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL)! (Like we even needed to tell you that!) We all enjoy watching this tournament and follow the matches and updates as much as possible. You might even find yourself arguing with your friends, colleagues, and even your own family members about your favourite players or your favourite city teams, while you are gathered at each other’s homes or in a bar after work.
This happens even more so if they live in another city or it is where they moved from to work, the feeling of love for your home team is strong. No matter who wins the match, the evening is always a fun one and a huge success. Such is the magic of the IPL tournament and we at Things2do invite you for an evening of drinks, good food, and of course sports with this guide to Mumbai’s top 7 sports bars you need to visit this IPL season. May the best team win!
1Tru Tramm Trunk
Arguably one of Mumbai’s most popular sports bars, Tru Tramm Trunk should definitely be on your bucket list for your next outing. This is especially if you want to enjoy an evening of drinking in a bar exactly the way you have seen in an American TV series, the vibe is exactly the same. Order some of their delicious and most importantly welcoming nachos that look and taste like heaven. Pair that with their signature pastas, burgers, and a few beers on the table and your evening is set!
2Havana Café & Bar
Situated in the heart of Colaba, Havana Café & Bar is very well-known for being the bar for cricket lovers and it continues to be their usual haunt. Worried about the pub being located inside a hotel and you cannot cheer loudly? Well, that has never been a problem and the energy of the place is so electric that you might find yourself screaming whenever your favourite team hits a shot or takes a wicket! While you are doing so, try some of their amazing platters and pizzas and if your team makes you sad, or happy, either ways they have some great deals on shots!
3The Studs Sports Bar & Grill
Attention cricket and beer lovers! If you like both, head on down to The Studs Sports Bar & Grill before the next IPL match! An amazing ambience that gives you the truest feeling of being inside a sports bar is not the only inviting thing about this place as you can choose to take your beer and tikka makhani in hand and enjoy by the pool table, or sit at the bar, or relax in the plush chairs, the choice is up to you! We suggest you get there early because it gets very crowded during any match. The place also hosts games for which you can win prizes, just adding to the list of reasons you should visit this place.
4The Sassy Spoon
If it is a happy hour, it is at The Sassy Spoon. This bar has, for quite some time now, been the go-to place for relaxing and drinking after a long day of work or just to have a nice time. Since it is IPL time, the bar transforms into a paradise for sports lovers. Munch on some delicious finger foods and a variety of cuisines while trying some of their specialty IPL team-themed cocktails like Kolkata Vanilla Knight, Chennai Sangria King, and many more! We would recommend that you go there and ask the servers for recommendations themselves because this restaurant has a lot more themed food and drinks to offer apart from the ones on the menu!
5Raasta
For those who want to have a fun evening of watching an IPL match but do not want to go over their budget, Raasta is the perfect ‘raasta’ for it. Along with your favourite drinks and beers, order some of their delicious Jalapeno Cheese Cigars and Porcini Mushrooms, and a host of other finger foods and main course, sit back with your friends in their open-air ambience, cheer for your favourite team, and just have the best evening ever!
6Geoffrey’s
If you live in Mumbai and love visiting pubs, chances are you have visited Geoffrey’s on more than one occasion. One of the city’s oldest pubs, patrons have for years felt comfort in its energetic ambience as they drink and watch their favourite teams play. With a setting like a typical old-timey English pub, its amazing deals on some delicious food like stuffed chicken sausages, tiramisu and amazing drinks have ensured that people will continue to frequent this place for a long time to come!
7Flamboyanté
Another noisy sports bar? Well, you guessed it wrong! Flamboyante is a popular after work drinks pub for the corporates in Nariman Point and is one of Mumbai’s best places to watch a sporting event. The ambience here is rich and less noisy than any other sports bar which is perfect if you are someone who is looking to enjoy the IPL match with some peace and quiet. With a good selection of drinks and Indian food, sit back, relax, and enjoy the game!
The most awaited cricket tournament of the year coupled with some of the best places to enjoy them, can there be anything better than this? We at Things2do hope that this guide serves you well in planning your next live screening with your friends and have the best time! Cheers!
