The 6 Best Bars in Pune

Pune drinks mostly in Kalyani Nagar and Koregaon Park, with newer bars in Baner. The best bars in Pune are led by Cobbler & Crew, opposite Jogger's Park in Kalyani Nagar, which was No. 2 on 30 Best Bars India in 2023 and pairs its cocktails with a global bar food menu and a Thursday trivia night. Elephant & Co., founded in 2016 by three hotel-school friends who left jobs at the Taj, Oberoi and Hyatt, calls itself a neighborhood bar and is crowd-funded with no outside investment. In Koregaon Park, Soy Como Soy brings Nikkei cooking, Japan meets Peru, to an izakaya-style room, and Malaka Spice has served South East Asian food in the city since 1997. Cobbler & Crew, Soy Como Soy and Malaka Spice have each won 30 Best Bars India's award for Best Work in Sustainability. Most of these take bookings by WhatsApp, but The Kowloon Tiger in Baner is walk-in only. These are the six we would start with.

  5. The Kowloon Tiger
    Cocktail Bar

    The Kowloon Tiger

    The Kowloon Tiger is a 35-seat neighborhood cocktail bar in Baner from the team behind Malaka Spice. Ilvika Chandawarkar, a second-generation restaurateur at Malaka Spice Hospitality Group, founded it with Prantik Haldar, her partner, who ran the bar at The Bombay Canteen. The idea grew from a trip to Hong Kong and Kyoto, where Bar Kawasaki became their go-to bar. The bar pays homage to Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City, and Jungle Gym and architect Shefali Shetty designed neon-lit, alleyway-style rooms around an omakase-style counter. Every drink on Prantik's list is named for a character and is what that character would order, among them the Black Myth, made with Scotch, black sesame orgeat and ginger.
