Lair

Lair is a high-concept speakeasy in South Delhi, led by place, identity and terroir. The team takes an ambitious approach to mixology, where cocktails are crafted with ingredients representative of India’s diverse regions, while each pour nods to the varying histories and heritages of its locales. Signature blends such as the whiskey-based Kotgarh, hibiscus-flavoured Hummingbird and the vodka-based Nagpur Valley reflect Lair’s place-driven style, an ethos similarly applied to its food menu, leading with pan-Asian plates such as sake carpaccio and shrimp tom yum. The experience is intimate, the space sleek, modern and carries just enough mystique to draw you in and make you stay.

Tatler Tip

The cocktail menu is structured by region, so you can taste your way across India from the Himalayas and central highlands to its coasts.
