A bar that truly thinks outside of the operations, whether it be reusing leftover soda and tonic in a cordial called sonic or designing the menu in a way where they can be completely free of straws.

Sidecar is an artisanal cocktail bar run by the passionate team of Yangdup Lama and Minakshi Singh, who’re also behind the award-winning bar, Cocktails & Dreams, Speakeasy. They’ve popped open a wealth of memories with their latest menu, the fourth edition. Called Arq, the essence, it showcases 10 signature cocktails, each one inspired by a quintessential Indian ingredient and releases an aroma and flavour that evoke a particular emotion.

As they say on the menu: Arq is the essence of time. Of letting a scent transport us to a moment and pausing in it. More ethereal than all other senses, scent has the power to unlock emotions by tapping into our collective memories – the perfume of raat ki rani in summertime, the smell of incense lit in the evening, the fragrance of chai being boiled streetside, and the scent of first rain falling on muddy grounds. Arq attempts to bottle that familiar rush through cocktails that showcase the uniqueness of India.

Located in the bustling hub of Greater Kailash II

Located in the bustling hub of Greater Kailash II in Delhi, this intimate bar is split over two floors with the intent of offering varied experiences as the evening carries on. On the first floor is an easygoing day space with a bookstore by Hachette where guests can browse, read, and buy a curated list of books. They partner with homegrown brands that share their vision and try to focus on letting their products do the talking.
On the second floor is their star attraction – a beautiful bar running across the main wall and holding a place of pride in the room. Packed with exciting ingredients, innovative concoctions, and signature cocktails (some classic, some seasonal and most craft), the bar also showcases zero proof and low proof drinks as well as carries forward the very popular “Whatever you Say” concept from their sister concern, Cocktails & Dreams, Speakeasy. Led by award-winning and renowned mixologist, author and co-owner of Sidecar, Yangdup Lama, the bar is a hub for guest shifts, spirit launches and cocktail sessions.
