Aer

Aer is the rooftop bar of the Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, on the 34th floor of the tower on Dr. E. Moses Road in Worli. It is one of the best-known places in the city for a drink with a view, looking out over the Mumbai skyline and the Arabian Sea, and it was named in the Tatler Best 20 Bars India list in 2026. The main attraction is the open rooftop patio, with booth banquettes and tables for two, which makes it a natural choice for sundowners.

The drinks list is split into two menus. The Yacht Club has a flight and exploration theme, while the Gimlet Garden takes a botanical approach. Signature cocktails have included Tranquil Tides, Sesame Serenade and the Aer-Plane, and there is a substantial wine collection for those who prefer a glass of something classic. The food is a menu of international small plates designed for sharing over drinks rather than a full dinner.

Aer opens daily from 17:00 until 01:30. The best time to arrive is shortly before sunset, when you can watch the light fade over the sea and the city come alive below; later in the evening it becomes a busier late-night spot. On Sundays the bar also hosts a brunch from 12:30 to 17:00, which can be booked online and makes a relaxed way to spend a weekend afternoon.

There are a few rules to know before you go. Aer is open only to guests aged 21 and over, and a dress code is enforced: men must wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes, so leave the shorts and sandals at the hotel. Reservations can be made by phone or through the hotel website and are advisable at weekends and for sunset tables. This is one of the more expensive bars in Mumbai, so expect hotel-bar prices for cocktails and wine.

Aer suits couples, celebrations and anyone who wants to see Mumbai from above in comfort. It is less suitable for groups on a tight budget or for families with children, given the age limit. Worli is in central Mumbai, and taxis are the easiest way to arrive; give the driver the hotel name. Masque and Paradox in the mill district of Mahalaxmi are a short taxi ride away for dinner before or after.
