As the capital settles into the sweet spot of the February breeze, the weekend of February 13th to 15th, 2026, coincides with a high-energy Valentine's stretch. This week, Delhi’s drinking culture is leaning into "theatrical" mixology, open-air heritage concerts, and high-concept rooftops that move beyond the standard bar scene.
Whether you're dodging the "anti-Valentine's" crowd or embracing the city's artistic pulse, here are 7 fresh spots to drink in Delhi this weekend.

Area: Greater Kailash II (GK2)
A recently launched standout in the GK2 market, Barbet & Pals is a bartender-led "cocktail laboratory" that rejects fixed recipes. The menu reads like a playlist of emotions—with names like Roller Coaster and Life in a Metro – and they even offer a personalized ritual where a drink is distilled based on your specific mood.
Area: Mehrauli
For those seeking a view that defines Delhi, the newly opened Aban at Thai High is hosting its "Festive Soirée" series this weekend. Located on a terrace with an unobstructed panoramic view of the Qutub Minar, it is the city's premier destination for open-air winter drinking before the heat sets in.
Area: Hauz Khas Village
The latest venture from the Savage Sandwich Shop team, Bar Painkiller is a quirky, unpretentious spot inspired by old-school apothecaries. It frames its cocktails as “cures” for city stress – a perfect antidote for those looking to escape the overly-manicured luxury bar scene.
Area: Malviya Nagar / Saket
This Sunday, February 15th, The Piano Man’s newer Eldeco Center location is hosting "The Jazz Room: A Journey to the Heart of New Orleans." This is more than a bar; it’s an auditory experience designed for the city's purists who want world-class acoustics with their whiskey.
Area: Sunder Nursery (Nizamuddin)
Chef Manish Mehrotra’s NISABA (opened late Jan 2026) is the most sought-after reservation of the season. Located within the World Heritage Site Museum, it functions as a "botanical bar" where the drinks utilize herbs and flora grown directly within the Sunder Nursery complex.
Area: Gurgaon (M3M IFC)
For a sensory overload, the Kabukicho-themed Harajuku Tokyo at M3M IFC is hosting its "Kaiten Clash" event this weekend. Inspired by Tokyo’s conveyor-belt sushi and neon districts, this high-energy experience features a full bar with Japanese-inspired spirits and a DJ Robot.
Area: Netaji Nagar
On Friday night (Feb 13), Dirty Good is hosting Paradox presents Baby J b2b Tye Turner. Known for its immersive lighting and "underground" dancefloor feel, this is the destination for the city's electronic music enthusiasts looking for high-level production and a hard-hitting sound system.
