Late Checkout Kicks Off 2026 with Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar Takeover

The event marks the venue’s first bar takeover of the year and is executed in partnership with Conosh with support from Loca Loka and Tigerfire.

Mahaniyom holds a strong position on global industry lists, ranking #57 on The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024 and #71 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars. The Bangkok-based bar is known within the hospitality sector for its structured and technique-driven approach to cocktails. For the Mumbai appearance, Founder Ronnaporn and Head Bartender Fluke will lead the bar operations, offering direct insight into Mahaniyom’s working style and execution standards.

The bar is widely associated with its “Resourceful Cocktails” concept, which focuses on sustainability, efficient ingredient use, and flavour clarity. Its approach reflects a broader industry shift towards responsible mixology, where technique, sourcing and waste management play a central role alongside taste. The cocktails are designed to highlight core ingredients while maintaining consistency and balance.

For this takeover, the menu includes a selection of Mahaniyom’s established cocktails. Watermelon features a clean and mildly spiced flavour profile, while Orange focuses on layered citrus notes with added aromatic depth. Cashew brings forward a creamy, nut-based structure with a smooth finish and Kaffir Lime delivers a sharp, herbaceous character rooted in Thai culinary traditions.

The collaboration reflects Late Checkout’s continued effort to position itself as a platform for global bar concepts within India’s evolving nightlife and hospitality landscape. By hosting internationally recognised bars and talent, the venue continues to align itself with global operational standards, cross-market exposure, and experiential beverage-led programming, offering Mumbai’s bar industry direct engagement with international mixology practices through a limited, single-evening format.
