Where to go if this does not fit
If the airport location is not useful, cross-shop Bombay High for a more conventional Mumbai bar choice. If the group wants a broader, more social room, The Living Room is the cleaner alternative.
Bar context
How it compares for Mumbai bar plans
Catherine's and Bombay High are better cross-shops if the priority is a fuller city-hotel bar experience rather than a Terminal 2 stop. Black Lacquer is the easier decision when airport logistics matter and the drink order is likely to sit in the sake, shochu, or highball lane.
Six Degrees and The Living Room make more sense for a longer evening where ambiance carries equal weight with the drinks. Choose Black Lacquer for convenience and a narrower Japanese drinks brief; choose those peers when the room itself is the point.
Tropics Bar is the better alternative if the group wants a more general bar choice and not everyone is aligned on Japanese spirits. Black Lacquer is easiest to recommend for solo travelers, pairs, or first-timers who want one focused drink before or after a flight.
