New Delhi’s buzzing nightlife scene just earned global recognition as Lair Bar, a contemporary cocktail bar in the capital, entered the prestigious list of the World’s Best Bars 2025, securing the 96th spot. This milestone marks Lair’s debut on the extended ranking of the world’s top 100 bars (positions 51 to 100), making it one of India’s proudest moments on the international hospitality stage.
Earlier this year, Lair was crowned the Best Bar in India, a title that positioned it as a frontrunner in the country’s evolving bar culture. Known for its cutting-edge cocktails, sleek interiors, and focus on redefining the drinking experience, Lair has now taken a leap from national recognition to global acclaim.
The award comes from the annual World’s 50 Best Bars list, which recently introduced its extended rankings (51–100) to spotlight more rising names in the industry. For Lair, this debut signals not just excellence in mixology but also India’s growing influence on the world bar map.
Located in New Delhi, Lair blends innovative cocktails with locally inspired flavors, making it a unique destination for experimental drinkers. The bar’s philosophy revolves around combining modern mixology techniques with Indian ingredients, creating a distinct identity that appeals to both global travelers and local patrons.
Its team of skilled mixologists, emphasis on storytelling through drinks, and immersive atmosphere have been widely praised by critics and patrons alike.
Lair’s success highlights how Indian bars are no longer confined to local fame but are steadily stepping onto the international stage. With growing recognition for creativity and hospitality, India’s bar culture is being celebrated in the same league as global hotspots in London, New York, and Singapore.
The inclusion of Lair at No. 96 in the World’s Best Bars 2025 (Extended List) is more than just an award — it is a statement of India’s rising prominence in the global beverage scene. For Delhiites and travelers alike, Lair now stands as a must-visit destination, symbolizing the fusion of Indian innovation with world-class mixology.
