Grappa Bar

Grappa Bar is a lounge and bar on the lobby level of a hotel on Ashoka Road, close to Connaught Place. Its character is casual, social and cocktail-led, with a setting suited to an afternoon drink, an evening catch-up or a late night in central New Delhi.

The drinks programme centres on Italian-inspired cocktails, including barrel-aged creations and negronis. The bar also works with familiar spirits such as whisky, gin and vodka, along with champagne, using a mix of classic references and more inventive combinations. Cocktail-making is treated as a precise, creative process, giving the menu a distinctly mixology-focused identity.

Food is presented as a selection of small bites rather than a full-scale dining format. The approach is Italian-influenced, with an emphasis on simple, fresh and authentic flavours that pair easily with drinks. This makes Grappa suitable for light dining alongside cocktails, rather than for a long, formal meal.

The atmosphere fits Connaught Place’s evening energy while remaining within a hotel-lobby setting. The casual dress code keeps the tone relaxed, and the late operating hours make the bar relevant for after-dinner drinks as well as earlier social occasions. A separate smoking room is available for guests who prefer that arrangement.

Grappa suits adults looking for crafted drinks, Italian-leaning bar food and an easy-going place to meet in central Delhi. It can also appeal to Jaipur visitors planning an evening around Connaught Place, especially when the priority is a cocktail-focused lounge rather than a restaurant built around a large meal.
