The Team and Recognition Behind Lair
Meet the people who define our space, and the milestones that mark our journey in the New Delhi bar scene.
Where creativity flows as freely as the cocktails. We believe the strength of our bar lies in the people behind it. Here is another look at our dedicated team, the driving force of Lair.
Crafting the perfect cocktail, one sip at a time. Our expert mixologists are dedicated to creating unforgettable drinks with every pour. Meet the team that makes the magic happen.
From our humble beginnings to being ranked at the #4 spot among the top 30 bars in India. This recognition is a toast to our incredible team and their consistent hard work and passion.
We were thrilled to be recognized on the prestigious 50 Best Discoveries list. It is an honour to have our efforts to shake up the cocktail scene acknowledged on a global platform.
About Our Team & Accolades
Our bar team does more than mix drinks; they are students of flavor. Before any menu lands on your table, the team spends weeks in our Vasant Vihar space refining ingredients, from sourcing local spices to experimenting with sous-vide techniques. When you walk in, you are not just meeting staff, you are meeting the people who built the flavor profiles you are about to experience.
Our journey started with a simple idea: create a modern den in New Delhi where hospitality meets curiosity. We wanted to build more than just a bar, so we focused on the team first. Every individual behind the counter at Lair is part of the Cocktail Coalition, contributing to a culture of shared learning and collective growth.
This approach has led us to some milestones, including being ranked among the top 30 bars in India and receiving recognition from the 50 Best Discoveries list. These accolades matter to us because they validate the hard work of our crew, from the mixologists who track down rare botanicals in Old Delhi to the floor staff who ensure every guest feels like a regular.
We believe that a great cocktail is only the beginning. The real magic happens in the connection between the person behind the bar and the guest. Whether we are hosting a masterclass, collaborating with global icons, or simply serving our signature small plates, our focus remains the same: real people, honest ingredients, and a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Lair
We built Lair as a space where black and grey blend, but the hospitality is anything but cold. Our team is the heart of every drink we pour, from those who source rare local spices to those who greet you at the bar. We are here to make you feel at home, even when we are shaking up global classics.
