New Delhi
Coming to our home city Delhi, not much happening this month.Quite a few bars are under threat due to the Lal Dora and related land issues in Delhi, and Tulleeho would like to extend support to all of you under threat from it. Female bartenders have been permitted by the High Court to serve liquor. We’re waiting for the Delhi Excise Act to also legitimize this so that we can have more women bartenders in Delhi. On the Rocks - The Tulleeho Whisky Experience is launching in May. The session will be great for all you whisky and ahem whiskey lovers... visit http://www.tulleeho.com/whiskyexperience/ for details. The much-awaited flair Bottles available now on www.tulleeho.com/shop and that too at a superb rate. Campari launched in Delhi with the Campari Red Passion Night @ the Intercontinental. Glendrummond, a Single Malt bottled in India also had their launch event with bagpipers, kilts and all also launched @ the Taj Palace. Brewing for non-brewers: A Tiger Beer sponsored beer appreciation workshops (organized by Tulleeho) was also conducted last month in Delhi. Visit of Dr Bill Lumsden, Master distiller, Glenmorangie. Team Tulleeho tasted the range of Glenmorangie as well as Ardbeg and interviewed Dr. Lumsden. A skeptic at the session asked Dr. Lumsden; how he could actually taste the things he claimed to taste in the Glenmorangie 10 year old. His tongue in cheek reply, “My tongues been places where other’s haven’t”! To read the full account and interview visit Blog: 16 Men Of Tain. Tulleeho conducted a record 3 wine appreciation sessions in Delhi and 1 in Goa this month! Looks like wine is the next big thing. We also interviewed Goncalo Rochado from Sogrape, the Portugese makers of Mateus Rose amongst other wines. Mateus Rose is often referred to as the Rolls Royce of rose. Read our interview with him Blog: Rolls Royce of rose. |

Mumbai
New outlets... 11 echoes (lounge bar): continental cuisine, on Juhu beach next to Mocha cafe Hard rock Cafe: Open. Close. Open. Close. Open? The franchise has marked a spot in India, at Bombay dyeing Mills, Elphinstone. Has the trademark guitar overhead. It features a mammoth area, unlike anywhere in Mumbai. Opened sometime during December end and January start. It was one of the outlets shut down with a lot of others due to lack of requisite licenses. But it’s rescheduled to open sometime soon. If the regulars are to be believed it’s worth the hype. Poison: Waterfield Road, Bandra. It’s two floors below Seijo and Souldish. The owners Gautam Singhania and Dj Aqueel would be disappointed as Poison was also shutdown due to the license issue. When open it belts out popular Hindi remixes and retro numbers. The booze is expensive but the owners often risk it and keep the outlet open till the wee hours of night. Rio-Met Lounge: A Bohemian style lounge bar at Juhu Versova Link road. The bar has mood lighting and is adorned with beds on one corner. Full 2/F2:It’s the new entertainment centre at 4 Bungalows, Andheri (West). Exists were the old Bowling company used to be. The bar is nice; good to visit during the day and follow up your beer with a game of pool or bowling at the upper level. Barbeque Nation: Pali hill, Bandra (near club 9) Awesome food, you get to barbeque your kebabs and tikkas at the tables. Makes it fun to experience. More of a restaurant than a bar. In profile this month is our Watering Hole of the Month, Salt Water Grill, Marine Drive. Arijit from Tulleeho met Chef Viraf Patel and Naveen Kotyankar, the Beverage Manager @ SWG as it is popularly referred to. Visit Blog: Salt Water Grill for the report and pictures. SWG for those of you from out of Mumbai is probably the destination of the moment in Mumbai and with good reason. Mumbai finally has an Al fresco place which takes advantage of the sea. |
