The Junction is the elegant lounge-bar housed within the renowned Taj Bengal hotel in Alipore — a refined retreat from the bustle of Kolkata, where sophistication meets comfort in equal measure. Step through its doors on Belvedere Road and you’re greeted by deep dark-wood interiors, subdued lighting, plush sofas and décor evocative of old-world railway charm. The feel is intimate and stylish, combining classic luxury with a welcoming ease. Whether you're sinking into a leather armchair or sitting at the bar counter, The Junction offers a mood set for conversation, contemplation or a relaxed drink. The ambiance is enhanced by soft background music and — often — live singing performances, giving the space a vibe somewhere between a cozy jazz-era lounge and a hotel bar with soul. The drink menu is wide and well curated: expect premium spirits, thoughtful cocktails (everything from classic martinis to inventive mixes), fine wines, and a selection of single malts for whisky aficionados. Finger foods, small plates and bar-style snacks accompany the drinks, offering a light bite rather than a full meal — ideal for a lazy evening or a post-dinner drink. Service here leans toward polished and professional — consistent with the Taj standard. Staff tend to be attentive, and the overall experience aims to combine comfort and class without being overly formal (though there is a smart-casual dress ambience). Whether you’re visiting as a couple, meeting friends for a quiet drink, or concluding a hotel stay in style — The Junction offers a relaxing getaway: refined drinks, understated luxury, and a hint of old-world charm that makes time slow down.
