Finally, its Friday and we are eagerly waiting for the day to end. As soon as the clock strikes 5 on a Friday evening, we quickly wrap up all our work and get set to plan for the weekend. While some like chilling at home with family, some of us catch up with friends and party hard. In both the cases, what remains common is food and drinks. We just can’t think of a weekend without some sinful indulgences; right? Hence, for the once who loves to hop pubs, bars and restaurants, we have handpicked some of our favourite restro-bars from Kolkata to try. Each of these bars offer the perfect combination of food, drinks and ambience, creating a space for you to unwind during the weekends. Take a look.
Here’re 5 Restro-Bars In Kolkata Offering Good Food And Drinks:
Warehouse Caf, Kolkata – NDTV Food Recommendation
The popular Delhi-based restro-bar ‘Warehouse Caf’ has recently made its way to the ‘City of Joy’. With good food, comforting drinks and great ambience, the joint is winning hearts ever since its launch in May, 2022. It is a high energy restro-bar, offering an amalgamation of all things symbolic, inspired by the antiquity and aura of a warehouse. Speaking about the space, restauranteur Amit Bajoria (who brought Warehouse Caf in Kolkata) states, “With a height of 22 ft picturesque interiors, 30ft long bar, and live performances by proficient artists, we have created a space keeping the taste and lifestyle of today’s urbanite in mind.” That’s not all. It has an extensive menu to offer.
From North Indian dal makhani and butter chicken to Italian pasta and Asian dimsums – the brand offers it all to satisfy the patrons. We suggest, try their tandoor broccoli and baos and dimsums, along with a delicious glass of cocktail and RELAX! We had ‘Warehouse Gin Sour’ and ‘Delhi 6’ and both were oh-so-delicious. You can go for concoctions of your choice – tell your preference to the bar tender and he’ll help you pick the right one.

M Bar Kitchen & Cocktails – NDTV Food Recommendation
If you are someone who likes to experiment with foods and drinks, then we suggest, M Bar is just the space for you. Nestled in a by-lane of Park Street, this place offers you a space where upscale eatery unites with a great nightlife. With its new avatar (relaunched around May, 2022 end), M Bar is trying to turn the fine dining concept to fun dining experience. Speaking about the same, M Bar co-founder Aditya Mehta explains, “Playful, provocative and unpretentiously sexy, M-Bar is where haute cuisine meets a nightclub, where good taste on the palate marries great taste in music, where the nights get wilder and better as the clock ticks on and where the taste of a good time lingers long after you have rested your feet from a long night of tap.”
We highly recommend you to try out their neon phuchka (a unique take on the popular street food), mushroom and goat cheese ravioli, and some Korean chicken sticks with a pairing of cocktail of your choice. We went for an impromptu gin-based cocktail that the bartender created as per the preference. You should try the same!
