About the Destination

Overview

The Ghetto is a long-standing institution in Mumbai's nightlife, a place that has deliberately resisted change for decades. Walking in feels like stepping back in time. The space is dark, illuminated mainly by blacklights that make the extensive graffiti and psychedelic murals on the walls glow. The air is thick with conversations and classic rock music, usually chosen by patrons from the old-school jukebox. The centerpiece of the main room is a well-used pool table, which is almost always occupied and serves as the social hub.

Best Time to Visit

The Ghetto can be visited year-round. However, the best tourist season for Mumbai is from October to March, when the weather is cooler and less humid. As an indoor venue, it's a good place to escape the summer heat (April-June) or monsoon rains (July-September). For the best experience at the pub itself, visit on a weekday evening to enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. Weekends are for those who prefer a high-energy, packed crowd.
Peak Crowd: Friday and Saturday nights from 9:30 PM to 1:00 AM, and on public holidays.
Moderate Crowd: Weekday evenings from 9:00 PM to midnight.
Low Crowd: Early weekday evenings, between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
