It was a whisky bar, a cocktail bar, a vodka bar, a DJ bar, all rolled into one, and everyone seemed to converge there for their own reason. It was packed, played loud music, knowing the manager guaranteed entry else one had to wait outside till someone left and made space. Rick’s was everything that the previous bar wasn’t. Rick’s at the Taj Mahal Hotel replaced the Captain’s Cabin, and it felt rather novel back then. To add to this, Aku’s burgers will also open their next outpost right here in the same building block which should seal the deal about where should one head if they wish to eat and drink without having to walk more than a few hundred metres.Īnd then another bar, one that is especially close to my heart, reopened. With the opening of Wolf, the Basant Lok complex in New Delhi is regaining its crown as the F&B hotspot in town-it already has some prized outlets both for food (Leo’s, The Pit, Arabian Nights, Kikoba) and drinks (Lair, Hoots, Dadel). Going by the pedigree, this, too, should be a high energy space with quirky interiors and a long waitlist of people to gain entry. The bar is from the Priyank Sukhija stable, the man who has given us Diablo, Tickled Pink and Bougie in recent times.
Next on the list was Wolf, which opened precisely 24 hours later and just a few metres from this place-a few metres vertically, as it’s located a floor above. Navdeep Singh Sethi, the man behind the Asian staple, Klap, has now opened this colourful bar and eatery in Delhi. First was KhiKhi, a playful space with fun drinks and bites. Next I was back in the capital and three bars launched in under 24 hours. This here was the equivalent of a show kitchen then. Most bars are higher and obstruct the view, which can sometimes allow bartenders to not care if the place gets a bit messy.
More than the drinks they served, I was mesmerised by their state-of-the-art bespoke bar counter, which was quite unique in its Omakase layout, one that allows you to observe your drink being meticulously made. That said, the way bars look and function has drastically changed over the years.Ĭobbler & Crew in Pune will soon complete one year but it was still new to me on my recent maiden visit. We still go to bars to socialise, chatting over drinks and bites, and we most definitely continue to crib about the high taxes.
