Positioned as one of Mumbai’s fastest-growing lifestyle hubs, Downtown Powai houses a blend of Grade A office spaces, leading corporate occupiers and established residential neighbourhoods. The introduction of The Irish House enhances its all-day social and dining ecosystem, offering a neighbourhood pub format tailored to young professionals and the local catchment.

A well-known name in Mumbai’s casual dining and nightlife circuit, The Irish House brings its signature mix of classic pub fare, approachable beverages and a relaxed setting to the destination. The new outlet features contemporary interiors and an intimate layout designed for after-work gatherings and social occasions. Notably, the launch also introduces craft beers on tap for the first time within the brand’s portfolio, alongside a range of beer-based cocktails—reflecting evolving consumer preferences and expanding the brand’s beverage offering.

The menu continues to draw from its established culinary roots, featuring a mix of European, Continental and Tex-Mex dishes. Popular items such as Fish & Chips, Grande Nachos, Hunter’s Penne, Irish Trash Can and Twisted LIIT remain central, ensuring familiarity for existing patrons while attracting new audiences.

Commenting on the development, Nitin Bir, Vice President – Retail Leasing, Brookfield Properties, said the addition reinforces the company’s focus on building mixed-use destinations that function as active social ecosystems rather than standalone commercial spaces.

Downtown Powai continues to evolve as a curated urban destination, integrating offices, retail and dining within a pedestrian-friendly environment. With over 25 food and beverage brands—including Episode One, The Nutcracker, Hitchki and Bayroute—alongside community-driven programming such as events and pop-ups, the development continues to build a strong identity as a lifestyle-led destination. The opening of The Irish House further adds to its growing appeal as a key dining and leisure hub in Mumbai.
