It is only a matter of time when Delhi would also be declared the party capital of the country. There's a long way to go, but there's potential. With some of the most exquisite bars in town, serving cocktails and drinks that are class apart, Delhi is in its own league. Where else will you find a bar overlooking a historical, majestic monuments, while you sip on your Margarita or a Negroni? No other city balances the old-world charm with the contemporary aesthetic in such a stunning way. Don’t you agree? So, if you are hunting for your next weekend spot to unwind while chugging some of the best drinks, we’ve got the best places listed here:
1. Summer House Café
Perched right at the forefront of Aurobindo Market in Haus Khaz, Summer House is the perfect spot to chill post work or over the weekend. With a stunning rooftop, a glowing long bar with endless options of cocktails, and live music, this café is your go-to place to unwind.
2. Raasta
You know a place is happening enough when Nucleya comes in there to drop a set casually. There’s no denying that Raasta is one of the best places to party but the fact that they serve some of the most unique cocktails and select liquor sets it apart even more.
3. Social Offline
It had to be on the list! Don’t we all love sipping over Social’s signature LIIT served in long beakers? While we have always loved the Social outlet at HKV that looks out on the scenic Hauz Khas fort and lake, we are also impressed by its other outlets at Nehru Place and Dwarka with different themes. Their menu including chaats and platters make for a perfect combination to their expansive cocktails.
4. Monkey Bar
Let’s be honest, there’s no place that comes close to the beautiful Monkey Bar in Vasant Kunj. A glass pyramid that houses some of the best cocktails in town and an expansive menu we cannot resist. Do not miss out on the Manga; a fusion of punchy alcohol and sweet mangoes which is sure to keep you high and happy through the night. Monkey Bar also has foosball and pool table!
5. Perch
In mood for good wine? Head to Perch to spend your time in peace, away from the hustle bustle. Nosh upon their grilled chicken avocado, chorizo pancetta or Pork Sausage that makes for a great accompaniments to the drinks.
6. Beer Café
With nearly every brand of beer in stock and an overwhelming variety of cocktails on the menu, the beer café is our absolute favourite place to chill with friends post-work.
7. Dandy- The FIO Bar
This converted section of Fio at Nehru place is a place for date night with its cosy yet cool vibe and exclusive cocktails. You just cannot miss their range of gin-infused ones. Popcorn-infused whisky is another cocktail that can keep you happy high through the night.
8. Dragonfly
If Aerocity is the new buzzing place in town, Dragonfly is sure a shining highlight. Spreading over 10,000 sq. feet, it could be the largest restaurant in the city. But there’s more to it. A blend of Asian fusion and European fusion dishes beautifully compliments a range of artisanal cocktails.
So where are you heading this weekend?
