Where To Drink In Delhi This Weekend (20th to 22nd March)

As the crisp Delhi winter officially trades places with the golden warmth of late March, the weekend of March 20th to 22nd is looking less like a standard bar crawl and more like a high-stakes game of "hide and seek." The city's social energy has shifted away from the predictable, moving instead toward hidden salon-speakeasies, art-filled lounges, and rooftop botanical pods.

Whether you’re looking to dodge the crowds after a day of gallery hopping or you want to vibrate to an underground techno set, here are 5 fresh spots to grab a drink in Delhi this weekend.

Places To Drink In Delhi This Weekend

1. The Art-House Den: Upstairs at Indian Accent

Area: The Lodhi, Lodhi Road 

Located just above the world-renowned restaurant, "Upstairs" has quietly evolved into one of the city’s most sophisticated drinking dens. For this weekend, it serves as the perfect post-gallery retreat for those attending the art exhibitions nearby. The focus here is on "culinary cocktails" – drinks that use kitchen techniques like fat-washing and fermentation.

• Vibe: Sophisticated, intellectual, and intimate.
• What to Drink: The Khubani Sour or their house-special Clarified Punch.
• Address: The Lodhi, Lodhi Road, Pragati Vihar, New Delhi.
• Timings: 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM & 6:45 PM – 12:00 AM.
• Price for Two: INR 6,000

2. The Minimalist Speakeasy: Somewhere Nowhere

Area: Greater Kailash II (GK2) 

If you missed the high energy of the previous weekend and want something more contemplative, this Japanese-inspired speakeasy is the "it" spot in South Delhi right now. It recently earned a spot in the Top 100 Bars in India. The entrance is intentionally non-descript, leading into a space that feels like a midnight bar in Gion.

• Vibe: Zen-chic, hushed, and audio-centric.
• What to Drink: The Picanime (A Japanese twist on the spicy Picante).
• Address: M-Block Market, Greater Kailash 2 (GK2), New Delhi.
• Timings: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM.
• Price for Two: INR 3,500

3. The Hidden Salon: Dressing Room

Area: Vasant Vihar 

This is perhaps Delhi's most literal speakeasy – it is hidden behind the doors of a functioning salon. Once you slip past the styling stations, the space opens into a sleek, modern bar. It’s a favorite for the Vasant Vihar "insider" crowd who prefer experimental mixology over loud DJs.

• Vibe: Ultra-exclusive, glamorous, and mysterious.
• What to Drink: The Spicy Blowout or the Tonsorial Old Fashioned.
• Address: Basant Lok Market (Near Priya Cinema), Vasant Vihar, New Delhi.
• Timings: 6:30 PM – 1:00 AM 
• Price for Two: INR 2,000

4. The High-Energy Icon: Farzi Café (Relaunched)

Area: DLF CyberHub 

Having recently undergone a massive "reboot," Farzi Café at CyberHub has shed its old skin for a more mature, "Farzi Forward" identity. The new bar program is arguably the most advanced in the NCR, featuring high-concept presentation without the gimmicks of the past. It’s the place to be this Saturday night for those who want a high-energy transition from dinner to dancing.

• Vibe: Electric, modern-Indian, and upbeat.
• What to Drink: The Farzitin or the Chai Pani cocktail.
• Address: Ground Floor, Cyber Hub, DLF Cyber City, Gurgaon.
• Timings: 12:00 PM – 1:00 AM.
• Price for Two: INR 3,200

5. The Rooftop Escape: Martini’s

Area: Sector 67, Gurgaon 

Perched atop M3M Urbana, Martinis is the standout opening for the "Lake View" circuit. With over 100 indoor plants and a glass-facade hanging pod structure, it feels like drinking inside a futuristic greenhouse. It’s particularly stunning during the sunset "Golden Hour" that March is known for.

• Vibe: Panoramic, airy, and lush.
• What to Drink: The signature Smoked Martini flight.
• Address: 2nd Floor, M3M Urbana, Ramgarh, Sector 67, Gurgaon.
• Timings: 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM.
• Price for Two: INR 2,000

Summing Up

This weekend (March 20th–22nd) is about choosing your tempo. If you want high-level mixology hidden from the world, Dressing Room and Somewhere Nowhere are the pinnacle of Delhi’s current bar scene. For a sprawling, scenic Sunday afternoon, the rooftop at Martini’s in Gurgaon provides the best spring breeze in the NCR.
