Rubicon Bar, The Leela Ambience Gurugram
The mixologist Rajib Mukherjee will make it a night of Kyoto-inspired creations for the cocktail connoisseurs at the Rubicon Bar. He has crafted a menu of prohibition cocktails, each with its own unique flavor and story. These might sound classic but are futuristic in taste, look and sense, such as the Kyoto Autumn which pays homage to the Land of the Rising Sun. The trend setting bars are designed as speakeasy, to bring the thrill and excitement of the forbidden, a throwback to the era of prohibition in the USA, (where establishments serving alcohol illegally were called speakeasy). Of course, it is all legal and licensed here. The Leela Palace Bengaluru is the youngest and first ever Indian hotel bar to have achieved this unique distinction and is also the country’s only speakeasy in the five-star luxury hotel category.
