When it comes to exploring bars in Delhi NCR, you will discover there is just so much to find out. Drinking has become an enjoyable part of life for many, giving the bars and clubs a lot of patronage on daily basis. The changed alcohol-induced lifestyle has injected a need for bars in people of all ages, paving way for more and more drinking spots in the city. As per your mood, you can go as fancy or as casual as you like, Delhi NCR has something for everyone. Now if you have a hot date coming and you are in dire need of a bar with quiet ambience and style quotient then pick ‘Longitude Bar’ or ‘Longitude 77 03’ Bar’. It’s a unique chic bar brimming with glamour. The bar is housed under Le Meridien Gurgaon, Sector 26, MG Road, Gurgaon.
The word ‘sophisticated’ sums up the menu of Longitude Bar. Perceiving it’s jet-setting clientele well versed with their alcohols, the bar comes up with a booze selection to make even the most enthusiastic tipple connoisseur weep in envy. A set of sparkling cocktails meant for lazy drinkers opens the menu but wait till you set your sights on their jaw-dropping rum collection. Drinks like absinthe and cachaça, that generally doesn’t find it’s way in average bar menus, somehow takes the spot of pride at Longitude Bar. If you have a decent wine cellar at home then you will certainly like what you see at this elegant bar. Non-drinkers can find solace in Longitude’s gourmet tea and coffee selection. Definitely worth try is, Green Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea.
Pick something savory to nibble on to go with your drink otherwise their masala chai cream éclair is a must try. The concept for Longitude Bar is to create a relaxed space for you to hang out enjoying deep conversations. The lobby of Le Meridien extends into the bar, where during the day, one can savor coffee and eclairs while imbibe on drinks as the evening comes. Décor is upmarket and stylish, exactly as how you would expect of a five star establishment. Comfortable modern furniture is scattered in a spacious contemporary bar lounge and is uplifted by futuristic ambient lighting. Vibe is swanky, luxurious and edgy. The hefty bill is to be expected. It is a great place to entertain an important client.
- The lobby bar at any Le Meridien in India cannot be called Latitude because the brand is a trademark of the Vivanta by Taj hotels
- Longitude's biggest draw is a well-stocked bar that is big on rum – I counted 22 of them, from an El Dorado 21YO to an Old Monk
- Old Monk figures again in the signature eclairs, but I am sold on the masala chai flavour
