Mumbaikars slide to this brand-new Christmas-y place

Bonobo is an endangered ape, living in the heart of the Congo. A free spirit, capable of wild social behavior and free love, the Bonobo is perhaps what humans strive to be.

This is no lesson in science or zoology; it's just an introduction to the unusual name given to the latest in the line of swanky haunts in the buzzing suburb of Bandra.

There are a lot of reasons you might want to visit this place for your Christmas Day meal. Good ambience and good food are but just some of the reasons. The main reason, however, is its interactive bar.

At Bonobo you are free to play the role of bartender to yourself and your friends. A wide selection of alcohol will get you started, but its exotic ingredients and add-ons will really get your creative juices flowing. Mix-and-match is the name of the game and creating your very own tailor-made poison for the evening is the ultimate prize.

For those who do not have the bartending P's and Q's sorted out, the resident mixologist will concoct a drink to suit your every demand.
