PCO
Established in 2012, PCO (Pass Code Only) is Delhi’s pioneering speakeasy bar, discreetly nestled in the D-Block Market of Vasant Vihar. Concealed behind an unmarked white door, entry is granted through a vintage telephone booth by dialing a secret code, enhancing its exclusive allure. The ambiance exudes a blend of 1920s elegance and contemporary sophistication, featuring dim lighting, plush leather seating, and antique decor. PCO's commitment to mixology is evident in its innovative cocktail menus, such as the "Mood Cocktail" selection and the "Back to the Future" series, which chronicles the bar's evolution through signature drinks. Notable concoctions include the "2016"—a reimagined Bee’s Knees with shiso-infused vodka—and the "2015 Jungle Bird," featuring house-blended rum and Campari crystals. The bar's excellence has been recognized with numerous accolades, including being named Best Bar in New Delhi for six consecutive years and ranking #54 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars in 2022. Complementing its beverage offerings, PCO serves a curated menu of Italian and Continental dishes, with highlights like Harissa and Almond Crusted Broccoli and Sticky Asian Soy Braised Ribs. For those seeking a personalized experience, "The Director’s Room" offers an omakase-style cocktail journey, where bespoke drinks are crafted based on individual preferences. PCO stands as a testament to Delhi's vibrant cocktail culture, offering an immersive experience that combines secrecy, style, and stellar mixology.
