Mumbai, Dec 12: Cityflo, the premium mobility platform transforming intra-city travel, partnered with SOCIAL to host Mumbai’s first-ever experiential Bar Hop designed to introduce a new way for the city to move, connect, and celebrate. The event, which took place on Saturday, December 6, brought 30 guests together for a four-hour, high-energy ride across three SOCIAL outlets, transforming a commute into a cultural experience.
For Cityflo, the Bar Hop marks the start of a new direction which explores how buses, traditionally seen only as a functional transit medium, can become spaces for culture, community, and shared experiences.
The journey began at Capital SOCIAL, where guests sampled #drnks from the new Big Drop menu before boarding the Cityflo party bus. With a DJ onboard and guided interactions, the ride set a new benchmark for what an onboard experience can feel like. The group then travelled to Khar SOCIAL and finally to Versova SOCIAL, enjoying a different drink at each stop, along with games, music, and a format that celebrated Mumbai’s neighbourhoods through movement.
Speaking on the collaboration, Sankalp Kelshikar, Chief Marketing Officer, Cityflo said,
“Cityflo has always been known as a dependable, reliable partner for the daily home-to-office commute. With this collaboration, we wanted to create a unique onboard experience that shows a bus can be a fun, engaging space on wheels that everyone in the city can be part of.
Our partnership with SOCIAL was a seamless fit. Their approach to designing hyperlocal, culturally rich experiences aligns closely with Cityflo’s vision of building bespoke solutions for the city’s hubs. The success of this event sets the tone for the new formats we’re excited to unlock across community-led gatherings, concerts and more, alongside serving your everyday commute”, adds
Speaking about the success of the debut edition, Divya Aggarwal, Chief Growth Officer, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said:
“Mumbai is a city that lives between neighbourhoods; constantly moving, constantly discovering. We wanted to create an experience that didn’t just introduce a new drinks menu but reflected how the city truly connects. The Bar Hop was our way of turning mobility into a cultural canvas: a space where strangers become a community, where each stop becomes a story, and where the journey is just as memorable as the destination. For us, this is what innovation looks like not just a new product, but a new way to experience it. The response reminded us that Mumbai is always ready for ideas that bring people together in meaningful, joyful ways.
For SOCIAL, featuring playful reinterpretations, bold new signatures, and all-day highballs. Guests experienced a different #drnk at every stop, turning the night into a tasting trail that reflected the spirit of the city.
The first edition of the Cityflo x SOCIAL Bar Hop brought together movement, culture, and community three elements central to Cityflo’s evolving view of what urban mobility can become. With strong turnout, vibrant citywide buzz, and an enthusiastic response, the event lays the foundation for more immersive, mobility-led experiences in the months ahead.
