The Library Bar
New Delhi, India
Chesterfields, a crackling fireplace and rare leather-bound first editions line The Leela Palace's lobby-level bar, where the literary cocktail list names its drinks for novels and authors, a Raymond Chandler of coconut bourbon and amaro, a saffron-gin Goldfinger, beside one of Delhi's deepest whisky and cigar collections. Open until 4am at the weekend; recognized among India's 30 Best Bars five years running.
