Bar Spirit Forward

Led by the acclaimed Arijit Bose and manned by bartenders Rohil Kalita and Pritish Dakhode, Bar Spirit Forward is a vibrant space that trades fuss for a focus on drinks and the people across the counter. Centred around three bartenders at three distinct stations, the room buzzes with the precision of a laboratory and the electric energy of a rock ‘n’ roll lounge. The menu shines with theatricality, leading with signature pours such as the tequila-based Southern Star and the spirit-forward Heisenberg, and flows naturally into reimagined classics like the Campfire Old Fashioned. The food programme is equally robust, with a line-up of punchy bar snacks that range from anchovies on toast to pork belly.

Tatler Tip

Skip the menu on your second round and ask the bartenders what they’re playing with that day. Chances are, you’ll get something bespoke, balanced, and worth the gamble.
