"Library for the Connoisseur The Library is a space to sample fine whiskey from the Leela's collection whilst enjoying a classic cigar. Located in the exclusive Leela Palace New Delhi , the bar is considered a "library for the connoisseur." While it hosts an impressive top-shelf liquor selection, it is also a trove of first-edition books and resplendent Chesterfield chairs. This is a classically comfortable place to unwind after exploring the heritage sites of the city, like nearby India Gate, Qutub Minar complex, and Akshardham Temple. Remember, the legal drinking age in Delhi is still 25 years, so guests must provide identification before being allowed to enter. There are also designated smoking sections so the non-smokers can still enjoy the ambiance."

I recently visited the Library Bar at Leela Palace in Delhi and, unfortunately, my experience was less than stellar. The cocktails, while presented well, were significantly overpriced and lacked any exciting flavors or creativity. Seated directly at the bar, I hoped for some engaging interaction with the bartender, but was met with indifference. It wasn't until I voiced my dissatisfaction with the bar service that the staff responded, showing kindness and a willingness to customize a drink to my liking. The nibbles provided were a highlight, and the menus were aesthetically pleasing, adding a touch of class to the setting. However, the primary reason one visits a bar is for the drinks, and in this regard, Library Bar fell short of expectations, especially given its prestigious location inside Leela Palace. I hope they improve their drink offerings and service to match the high standards one would expect from such a renowned establishment.

This is the most exclusive and chic bar in delhi and reminds me of the only member clubs/bars in London and Newyork. The subtle chic interiors with classic red light bar lighting is phenomenally pleasing to the eye. The cherry on top of the cake is that it has won the most deserving rank 14th on the best bars in India and I am sure it will move ahead next year as the cocktails and mixologists here are incredible. I recommend this to everyone visiting delhi for the first time or even someone who hasn’t been yet and you won’t be disappointed. Excellent
