5 Best Bars in Delhi (2026)

Monkey Bar is a gastropub and cocktail bar in Vasant Kunj, part of the Olive Group's portfolio which also includes Toast & Tonic, SodaBottleOpenerWala, and several other Delhi nightlife venues. The bar is housed in a distinctive triangular glass pyramid building, giving it strong sightlines and a youthful, lively atmosphere across its two floors. A pool table and foosball table are free additions that reviewers repeatedly cite as a genuine draw beyond the food and drinks.

Lord of the Drinks Chamber is a pub and pizza restaurant in Rajouri Garden, part of the Lord of the Drinks brand founded by restaurateur Priyank Sukhija in 2015, known for its medieval-chaos aesthetic and antique interior. The Rajouri Garden branch operates across two floors and combines a full food menu with drinks, making it as much a dinner destination as a bar. Reviewers describe fast service and generous portions, particularly on the grilled fish and pizza.

The Beer Café is a pub and bar chain with a Rohini branch inside Unity One Mall, offering an extensive beer selection alongside a food menu spanning snacks to full meals. The chain positions itself as a casual, approachable spot for beer enthusiasts, with staff trained to help customers choose an alternative when a specific brand is out of stock. Reviewers describe fresh pasta and a generally cooperative, helpful service style.

Juniper Bar is a dedicated gin bar inside the Andaz Delhi hotel in Aerocity, described by reviewers as India's first bar built specifically around gin. The bar offers custom cocktails crafted to each guest's palate, with bartenders taking the time to understand preferences before recommending a drink. The chic, quiet setting suits conversation-focused visits like dates or small gatherings rather than loud group nights.

The Library Bar is a luxury lounge bar inside The Leela Palace New Delhi in Chanakyapuri, recognized among India's 30 Best Bars for five consecutive years. The space is designed around a bygone-era aesthetic with Chesterfield chairs, a working fireplace, and rare leather-bound first-edition novels, offering an extensive collection of whiskeys, cigars, and wines. Reviewers consistently praise the ambiance and service, though opinions on cocktail value and creativity are more mixed.
