RAISING THE BAR

Arijit Bose, creative maverick behind Bengaluru’s Bar Spirit Forward, crafts a cocktail experience with people at its core, like none other

RAISING THE BAR

Your good ol’ neighbourhood bar often feels like the melding together of a bunch of small pleasures. There is a skip in your step every time you walk in -- you know that the bartender knows your name. There is always a snug spot that you can settle into, always a familiar face you can find. Less than a year after opening its doors at Bengaluru’s charming Lavelle Road, Bar Spirit Forward has garnered a loyal customer base that keeps coming back for a consistent, cosy and authentic drinking experience. “The idea at Bar Spirit Forward was to be sort of a cocktail dive bar where the drinks are only part of the plan and not the whole focus, which was to be a combination of our hospitality, music and vibe”, says Arijit Bose, founder and creative force to be reckoned with at Bar Spirit Forward.
