Little Bit Sober

Kolkata, India

Little Bit Sober is a cocktail bar on the second floor of an 1890 building at 60 Chowringhee Road, opened in 2023 by co-founder Rudradipta Mukherjee and his partners as a stage for Kolkata's bartending community. A bright red door leads to a long, boat-shaped bar counter that runs the length of the 1,800 square foot room. The drinks lean on Bengal: a Ghee Rice Old Fashioned built on gobindobhog rice and ghee-washed scotch, a Tomato Kasundi with clarified kasundi, tomato vodka and celery soda, a Gondhoraj Grapefruit on tequila. The third menu, Friends of the Bar, pays tribute to Calcutta institutions such as Flurys, Nahoum's and the Paramount sherbet shop.
