$20–30per person
Why go
Rumour is worth choosing for a wine-led, conversation-friendly night in Vasant Vihar rather than a loud cocktail crawl. The draw is the imported wine focus, wine-influenced cocktails, compact pairing-friendly food, and intimate loft-style room with balcony seating. At $20 per person, it reads as good value for a polished speakeasy-style evening.
About Rumour
Rumour is in New Delhi, costs about $20 per person, and has a smart casual dress code. The confirmed schedule is Tuesday through Sunday from 6 PM to 1 AM, with Monday closed. Those details make the venue easiest to understand as a nighttime option.
For a broader city search before committing, use the New Delhi restaurants guide and the New Delhi bars guide. Looking across the wider New Delhi scene can be useful if your group is still comparing timing, budget, or dress expectations before choosing a final spot.
Plan around evening hours
Rumour is best treated as an evening option rather than a lunch or all-day stop. It opens at 6 PM and runs until 1 AM from Tuesday to Sunday, which makes it more useful for after-work plans or a night out in New Delhi. Monday is the one closed day, so the weekly rhythm is simple but important: build around the six operating evenings.
If your timing is flexible, the simplest approach is to build the visit around the confirmed evening window and check directly before going if you need the latest operational details. That is especially sensible when coordinating with others, since the useful part of the schedule begins at 6 PM and extends late enough to support more relaxed evening plans.
What to know before you book
The clearest confirmed planning details are the price, hours, and dress code. The price is about $20 per person, and the dress code is smart casual. That combination makes Rumour easy to consider for a polished but not overly formal evening in New Delhi, particularly if you want a venue that feels planned without requiring a very formal approach.
Smart casual also gives helpful guidance on how to frame the outing. It suggests you should dress with some care, while still keeping the mood approachable. The moderate price point can help when comparing Rumour with other New Delhi venues, but it should be treated as a planning guide rather than a complete picture of what every visit will cost.
Who should choose it first
Choose Rumour if you want a New Delhi evening venue with late hours, a smart casual dress code, and a moderate price point. It is a practical candidate for plans from Tuesday through Sunday after 6 PM, especially when the aim is to keep the evening coordinated around a clear time window and a dress expectation that is present but not rigidly formal.
Skip Rumour for Monday plans or lunch plans.
