ZLB23

Tucked within The Leela Palace Bengaluru is ZLB23, a Kyoto-inspired speakeasy that blends a secret-society allure with elegant vintage decor. The bar is known for its curated cocktail programme of Asian-inspired pours, crafted with fat-washed spirits, lacto-fermented fruits and clarified pours that nod to ancient spice routes. Highlights on the menu include the rose tea-based Blossom, spice-led Golden Caravan and the refreshing Withering Hour, while a selection of pan-Asian small bites complete the experience.

Tatler Tip

Reserve a spot on nights featuring live jazz or acoustic performances and ask the team for one of their off-menu cocktails.
