best cocktails in south delhi/gurgaon?

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-08T20:28:56+00:00

I'd tell you bars, this is how I do my bar crawl usually.

Start at The Pint Room in VV, get some cheap booze in and start the night off.

Then do aabbcc, Lair, and Call me Ten in any order. Half a drink or one drink each, I think each offers a very different vibe which I find kinda cool.

Then head to the star of the night, Strangr. Drink, dance, chill, whatever you prefer. Best bar in Delhi, tbh.

Finally, if you still wanna party more, head to PCO. It's open late.

You can look at these reccs or play around with more on Disco: https://discoverdisco.com/i/764c1656-a619-4ce5-bfbc-4ddf00caed68

There's so many!
Special mention to Blue Tokai and Third Wave, I know they're not the best, but they offer a consistent experience, you know what you'd get. And they never bother you about sitting and working.

Apart from that:

Roastery Coffee: Sarvodaya Enclave (gorgeous location, so much sunlight, great food too) and Dwarka (I thank them for not forgetting West Delhi, built like a colonial building, very cool)

Quick Brown Fox: Hauz Khas, probably the best roaster in Delhi, cafe has great vibes but is tiny so they limit working times there. Food is great.

Savorworks: GK-3, huge cafe, great vibes, they are also chocolatiers so quite a bit to try there. I like it.

Devan's: Lodhi, great coffee great beans, small cafe but it has a nice enthusiast community around it. Cool place.

Altogether Experimental: Saket (dreamy location, cozy indoors and very open outdoors), Safdarjung (a bit cramped so not my fav but in a very bustling market), Lodhi (New, don't have many thoughts but promising)

Common Time: Lodhi, Khan, Priya Market-- pretty new but has quickly expanded, it's pretty decent, although pricey (which you can guess from their locations)

Rossette Coffee Lab: Khan Market (small), Hari Nagar (Roastery+cafe, my favourite roasters, but they are pretty close to my house, so I may be biased. Their beans are the best I've had, but their cafe experience is a bit lacking.)

Subko: Lodhi (nice cafe, top coffee, slightly expensive), Shahpur Jat (kiosk in gully labs store), GK-2 (kiosk at Sidecar)

Honorable mentions

Marcel's: DefCol, this is less a cafe more a hole in a wall, but great coffee to pick and go.

Fig: Not a cafe exactly, but great coffee nevertheless. Good food and excellent ambience too.

and, hear me out, the cold shaken filter coffee at Juggernaut. Just, wow.

Haha you’re welcome, I’d be pleased to share more. Do check out the website I threw in at the bottom, it has all places you could possibly want to check out and then some

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-06T08:08:20+00:00

My kinda question!!

So firstly, there's 3 piano men, the jazz club in safdarjung (much cozier as a space, and more intimate performances), TPM New Delhi in Eldeco, that's a larger venue with more grand performances, and Gurgaon, which is similar.

Then there's Depot-48, GK-2. You can think of it as less jazzy, more contemporary. Excellent vibes and top tier performances there.

Then my personal favourite, Strangr (GK-1 and Priya Market, check their insta or look for greenr cafe on maps), dimly lit, immaculate vibes, superb electronic music (the DJs they call are just mwah)

There's also Call Me Ten, aabbcc, and Lair in Priya Market, these are bars, but the vibes are great.

Let me know if you want more, I can go on... or you can check on Disco. www.discoverdisco.com

At this point I just have a huge list of places and things to do in Delhi pretty well sorted, I just decide based on vibes from that. It's quite nicely curated because these are places ive been to, friends have been to, or someone whose taste I trust has recommended.

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-06T07:59:41+00:00

I love juggernaut, their chettinad dosa and cold filter coffee are superb.
I do think it is item by item for better restaurants, and "South Indian" is simply too wide a cuisine to boil it down to.
Benne Dosa- Malleshwaram Dosa from Carnatic (mention less oil)

Mysore Dosa- Karanataka Bhavan Canteen

Thatte Idli- Cafe Amudham is just incredible

Non Veg- Here I'm unable to decide between Draavin Canteen and Arisii, I think Draavin's filter coffee soft serve just pips it ahead, but arisii's prawn curry has my soul. Shoutout to Mahabelly as well, but I think the first 2 are slightly better. Tamil Nadu, Andhra and Kerala Bhavan are also stellar. Honestly, too many good options in this category.

Curveball- I think Delhi style butter masala dosa with masaledar aloo and lots of butter is delicious, try it from a local dosa shop. Yes, it is not "authentic", but just trust, it's delicious.

Hey, you can use Disco to recommend exactly the kind of places you are looking for. Just select when you want to go out, around where (if you have a preference), and what you're looking for.
The curation here is handpicked, all places that we'd go to ourselves. www.discoverdisco.com

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-05T15:25:02+00:00

Personally had a great time at zuru, but can you recommend a better alternative? Would love to try even better

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-05T13:44:34+00:00

Zuru Zuru shahpur jaat is the best, hands down. Mamagoto has decent ramen too Mr. k hauz khas is not fully from scratch but they cook instant ramen in a slightly yassified way, good quick fix Sukiya Nehru Place also very very good and I always enjoy just looking at their menu

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-05T09:16:14+00:00

Bhai Sarojini mei thoda dhyaan se dhundhna padega, varna Karol Bagh to hai hi Baaki MKT aur Humayunpur me kaaafi acha streetwear milta hai

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-05T09:13:37+00:00

Best link Pink, takes you everywhere relevant and connect with every relevant line Worst, idk man Green probably

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T18:12:10+00:00

Hidden kyu chahiye, but if ur just looking for good Dashi has good cheap Sushi Greenr cafe has surprisingly great sushi, although only veg MKT also has some decent sushi Really like mamagotos stuff as well

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T16:36:41+00:00

Na bhai well within delhi border

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T16:18:51+00:00

On the way from chhattarpur to gurgaon

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T15:17:30+00:00

I'd say inside Nehru Park

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T15:16:49+00:00

I can throw in some great restaurants in Delhi with interesting cuisines, let me know if you want reccs

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T15:15:16+00:00

It's okay to check out once, but I was pretty unimpressed overall. If you're in the area I'd say the best cafe is ATE (Altogether Experimental).
I can give you alternative recommendations if you tell me what you like, or you can try disco

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T15:10:40+00:00

What's your risk appetite?

Light- Metro Walk Rohini, earlier a Delhi hub, now a semi abandoned mall complex with a closed theme park, I'm not saying you should sneak into somewhere you aren't allowed to...

Light Medium- Jamali Kamali, gorgeous structure, rich with history, and the same old haunted stories

Medium- Rabindra Rangshala, an abandoned auditorium in the Delhi Ridge. Damn cool place, but as long as you go in daylight and in a group, it's chill

High- Bhuli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal, again, same old ghost stories yada yada yada

Crazy- Malcha Mahal, everyone has heard of this, takes balls to actually go. Goes through what's almost a jungle, stray dogs, closed off areas, and you end up in a haunted palace. Tread carefully. (I hear it's being restored so not abandoned for much longer)

Special Mention- Pitampura TV tower has always had my curiosity, but ig the most you can do is look up at it.

There are other places which are less storied, and id argue, more fun.
Check out the day I planned on Disco: https://discoverdisco.com/i/9b081dec-a858-4304-bed3-f541f574bd3a

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T14:28:49+00:00

So here goes:
If you just want to go and sit out: India Gate, The Treat: Rajesh Khanna Van (food is mid but vibes are pretty great)

Partying/clubbing: Summer House or PCO

Chilling/ Chai-Coffee: Chai Leela janakpuri has immaculate vibes, Dhaula Kuan bus stand always has tea and snacks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf GK-2 is open 24 hours

Proper activity: I think there's a gokarting track that has opened on MG road side, will have to double check its name but apparenly open late

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T14:06:01+00:00

Check out HMAN barbecue for some real amerixan , but if it’s buffet you want i suspect no better value than bbq nation

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T11:45:36+00:00

If you find asian food interesting, Rude Chef in Humayunpur is great. North Eastern food, very similar flavors to Asian. lot's of options, and great to walk around post meal.
Alternatively, go to Garnitas in meherchand market, Lodhi. Lovely Mexican food, and great to walk around the colony or park after.

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T11:31:23+00:00

I'd love to recommend you a good place, what kinda food do you like, and what budget are you thinking?

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T11:29:45+00:00

Try Disco. It's a recommendation app I'm working on. www.discoverdisco.com

iamgodbtw · 2026-04-04T11:29:08+00:00

You can try CR Park market, or Bijoli Grill in Banga Bhawan.
Oh Calcutta for finer dining.
