Even before it became the commercial capital and the agenda setter of India, Bombay was always avant-garde, always maverick, looking far into the future. A city that always took its chances on chance-takers and on dream-makers. A feisty little port town that shone by being determinedly different, defiant and original. We, at Thirsty City 127, have set out to create an exhilarating, unique bar experience, nestled inside Bombay's first microbrewery, in it's historic mill district. Simultaneously, we have also set out to revive that inspiriting, heady age of Art Deco in Bombay, where aspirations were carved into the stone masonry of a young, new city. Buildings and car fins figuratively and literally reached for the sky. It was an era of hope, of courage, of distinctiveness, of self-discovery and of beauty. We've left out the pretence and are serving up a massive pour of class here at Thirsty City 127 - India's finest bar, perhaps. COCKTAILS IN HUMAN HISTORY, NO SOONER HAD THE FIRST SETTLEMENTS APPEARED THAN THE PRIMAL NEED TO CATEGORISE THE WORLD AROSE. THE MOST BASIC OF THESE WAS THE RECOGNITION AND CATALOGING OF THE ELEMENTS - EARTH, FIRE, WIND AND WATER. WHEN WE APPROACHED OUR COCKTAILS, BEERS AND SPIRITS, WE REALISED THAT THE SAME ELEMENTARY BASICS APPLY TO THEM ALL. WE HAVE CREATED OUR COCKTAIL PROGRAM AROUND FIVE MAIN ELEMENTS - GRAINS OF PARADISE, WATER OF LIFE, HOPS & BITTERS, FERMENTATION AND CO2 & BUBBLES. WE ALSO BASE OUR PROGRAMMING ON BEING LOCAL INGREDIENT FOCUSSED AND TECHNIQUE FORWARD. COCKTAILS FOR US ARE NOT JUST SPIRIT AND ADDONS COMING TOGETHER, BUT MORE ABOUT HOW EACH INGREDIENT CAN SHINE THROUGH WITHOUT THE FLAVOUR BEING COMPROMISED. STEP IN, GET IN YOUR ELEMENT.

GOVERNMENT TAXES AS APPLICABLE AND 10% SERVICE CHARGE LEVIED WINES WE HAVE WORKED WITH OUR SOMMELIER, VISHVAS SIDANA TO CURATE A TRULY SPECIAL WINE LIST. OUR WINES ARE ONES WHOSE GRAPES ARE GROWING USING BIODYNAMIC AND ORGANIC METHODS IN THE VINEYARD WITH MINIMAL INTERVENTION IN THE VINIFICATION, ALLOWING NATURE TO DO ITS JOB. BY ESCHEWING INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND REVERTING TO TRADITIONAL LEGACY METHODS, EACH OF THESE WINES BEAUTIFULLY EXPRESS THE TERROIR OF WHERE THEY ARE MADE. SAVOUR YOUR SIP AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY TASTE THE LAND FROM WHERE THE WINE COMES FROM. VINCENT GIRARDIN Vincent Girardin, son of a family of wine growers based in Santenay, France since the 17th century, decided to strike out on his own at the young age of 19 and began producing wine from two hectares of vines that he had inherited from his parents. To obtain the best possible quality, vinification and farming is done as naturally as possible, respecting organic and biodynamic practices.
