About Craft Cocktail Bar & Pan-Asian Dining
What Lair Is All About
I started Lair with a simple idea - make a spot that feels like more than just a bar. Here, you walk in and it’s like stepping into a secret den. Sometimes it’s about big nights; sometimes you just want to hide away. I get that. Lights are low, music’s up, and the mood is always just right for a catch-up or a deep conversation.
Cocktails With a Story
Mixology here is a bit of an adventure. I don’t just pour drinks - I craft them. You’ll see influences from Old Delhi markets, like house-made Nagpur Liqueur and rare local ingredients. Each drink is meant to surprise you, and I love seeing people try to guess what’s in their glass. My personal favourites? Kappi Nirwana for that smoky kick, and Nagpur Valley if you’re feeling light. If you’re into immersive cocktail tasting, you’ll find something new every time.
Pan-Asian Eats That Hit Different
The food at Lair is all about modern Asian small plates and sharing. Sushi, dim sum (the swan dumplings are a crowd-puller), and things like Mushroom Bao - loads of crunch and umami. I make sure the menu keeps changing, so there’s always something fresh.
More Than Just Drinks & Food
Hospitality here isn’t just a word. Through global bar collaborations, I bring in bartenders from around the world. We vibe, we experiment, and sometimes, magic happens. You’ll see flavours from Seoul to Buenos Aires right in your cocktail. Yeh hai Lair ka style (this is Lair’s style).

My Story
We started Lair dreaming of a spot that felt a bit secret, like a modern cave where black and grey blend and curiosity runs wild. Drinks here aren’t just drinks - they talk back. Our team’s the heart, not just us. We've had wild nights with guest bartenders, big awards, but the best bit? Folks from everywhere saying they feel at home. That’s the Indian hospitality we love showing off. We’re all about mixing borders, learning, and celebrating local flavours, one night at a time.
