Asia's 50 Best Bars 2023, No. 69 (51-100).
Bitters & Co. opened on 16 July 2021 on Lazimpat Road in Kathmandu, opposite MBL Tower. Rovin Gurung, Mona Bajracharya and Beekrum Gurung founded it to shake up Nepal's young cocktail scene. The room follows biophilic lines, with exposed brick, high ceilings, warm lamps and greenery around a Swami tree at its center. The list is built on timeless classics, backed by house-made bitters and syrups, and a co-founder spent months searching Nepal's citrus for a lemon. The Old Fashioned arrives in a smoke-filled box, the Negroni Sour is the house signature, and the Two-Faced Bastard is a clarified cognac and whiskey milk punch. Small plates include Wai Wai sadheko.
