Rumour
Vasant Vihar, New Delhi
Bar in New Delhi, India
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 a New Delhi venue with a price point of about $20 per person, smart casual dress code, and evening-only listed hours. 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: not a daytime stop to drop into between errands, but a place to consider when the plan already belongs to the evening.

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, and avoid assuming availability at the start of the week.
Because no lunch service is listed, do not plan on Rumour for daytime dining. 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 listed 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 listed 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.
Treat any other practical details as questions to confirm directly rather than assumptions. The available information does not settle every planning point, so contact the venue if your decision depends on anything beyond the listed price, evening schedule, and dress code.
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 it for Monday plans, lunch plans, or any occasion where you need confirmed details on cuisine, dietary accommodations, outdoor seating, delivery, takeout, or a specific service format before deciding. In those cases, the smarter move is to verify directly first or compare other New Delhi options before committing the group to a plan.
