Best Cocktail Bars in Dunning

I had been wanting to check this bar out for a few years. I had high expectations and my expectations were greatly exceeded. Amazing spot. Great cocktails. Attentive bartender. And what I did not expect was absolutely amazing food as well. Come for the cocktails. Or the food. Or both. Excellent spot for a fun evening.

Drinks: Aam: I thought it didn’t hit the Aam panna taste, but my husband happily loved it. Haldi: I had this gorgeous drink on the bartenders recommendation. It was so nostalgic, so well executed. Til: Reminded me of Tilgul at Makar sankrant, beautiful take on Old fashioned. I’ve come up with a jaggery old fashioned. And this sesame-washed version is it. Kokum(NA): Tastes exactly like Kokum Sarbat. All the drinks were very well balanced and well mixed, so cohesive. Small plates: Benne Dosa: The bartender said I know you’ve had it, it’s common, but try it. Wow. If you’ve had the best Malleshwaram Dosa at Carnatic Cafe in India, this is that and even better. Wow. Chutneys omg. Mushroom Galoti: 100/10. 🤌🏼 Not only does this taste like the best Galoti Kebabs you can find in Delhi, it’s vegetarian! My mind is totally blown. I was in shock, but a happy gastronomic shock. Prawn Balchao: 10/10 taste. The head part of the prawn was so yummy and buttery I have never had anything like this. Ribs: the meat was tender and juicy. I think the tamarind flavor can be toned down a little bit or have less sauce in the ribs. It was great it wasn’t mind blowing. Great execution on all the small plates! Mains: Dal Bhat: no notes. Parotta: no notes. Tomato Pappu: Loved it, husband thought it was a bit too tangy because of the cherry tomatoes. But I believe that is the essence of pappu. I’ve never had a aunthentic pappu, only the average daals so I thought it was great with the yellow tomatoes. The red ones were a bit tooo tangy. Still would give 10/10. Mudhi Mansha: 3/5 I loved seeing the Oriya representation but I don’t imagine a lot of people loving this prep. Dessert: Casatta and Payasam Flan with Rose cookie: Great execution!

Experience was amazing highly recommended! Service was excellent, food was excellent!

Great place to have some fun, the food wasn’t that great, still that’s from the restaurant below. Drinks are creative and tasty, plus, the service is great.

One of our favorite stops when visiting Chicago! Love the feel of a Tiki Speakeasy. Drinks are always top tier, and their food is surprisingly tasty!
