    Nice bar with satisfying finger foods. We were served by Sunil (I hope I got his name right! It's been a few days since I was there) and he was incredibly helpful. I would say that the service and ambience are excellent while the food and drinks are 'good'. It's not where I would go for a culinary or gastronimic experience, but it's quite a relaxing place to spend your time in.

    The ambiance of the restaurant is simply stunning, with a modern and chic decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The seating arrangements are comfortable and spacious, perfect for intimate dinners or group gatherings. It truly exceeded my expectations during my recent visit.

    The bar has luxurious setting and is tastefully decorated. The food is sumptuous and is a great dine-in option for the winters as they have pleasant outdoor seating with a small firepit that illuminates the place with glow and warmth. The menu is a bit pricey, but that's understandable because it's part of the Leela Palace hotel. Overall, it was a good experience.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Hotel Drinks and Bar recently and it did not disappoint. The bar staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great recommendations. The atmosphere was stylish and sophisticated, making it the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic evening. The drink selection was extensive and offered a variety of cocktails, beers, and wines. I highly recommend Hotel Drinks and Bar to anyone looking for a top-notch drinking experience. The bar staff is professional and the atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. I will definitely be returning!

    What an explicit experience we had. Beautifully designed interiors with soothing red color, 100years old books showcased and the best of best drinks available📽. We booked the room with free cocktails sunset hours, where you get free drinks ( mostly brands covered) unlimited from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. 💸Ps:we happened to sit there longer and end up spending too🤪 The music and the ambience was quite English to me. I felt luxury. Special complement to Mr Shubham(if em not wrong), for his politeness & great way of attending us.

    I had heard good reviews about this place, so during my recent visit to Delhi, I decided to take my parents here for hors d'oeuvres and some cocktails. The host sat us down and after that no one came to take our order. We sat there for 30 mins and requested for a waiter to come take our order, numerous times. I even requested for the manager to come see us, however the manager didnt even bother to care. Finally, we decide to leave and went somewhere else. My 2 cents, the quality of Leela Palace had degraded. Note to higher management: If you don't have adequate staff, please close the establishment, there is no point of running a place without providing your proper service.

    Lovely evening of pre-dinner drinks tasting the new literary cocktail collection in the Library Bar at the beautiful Leela Palace hotel in New Delhi. Courteously arranged by the superb General Manager and his wonderful Library Bar staff. Thank you so much! Smith family, UK.

    A staple joint in the city. Service needs work and it's a shame we can no longer smoke indoors

  • 4/5 Anupam C. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a fun and charming place to have a drink. Brings back the old world charm of what you would expect a hotel bar to be. The drinks are a little on the expensive side. Must visit to calm your senses, relieve your stress and pamper your taste buds. A heavenly experience. Great food, great staff and beautiful ambience.

    Nice ambience. Great selection of wines. Cocktails are nice too. A little pricey but one of the nicest hotels in the city and a bar to match. There's a nice outdoor area as well.

  • 1/5 divya c. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely partial and clueless staff and management. It all started with wanting to book a section, and we were willing to pay the deposit too. Kept saying no , and eventually booked at a higher deposit. Once we reach there, there was already a section booked by a family so they definitely just act pricey. Moving forward, we requested a song (by weeknd) which they denied. 10 minutes later we see a 12 year old boy( FROM THE OTHER SECTION), operating music and playing bijlee in library bar! LOL. He kept changing songs without any transition and the vibe was so pathetic. The staff still unapologetic. This place should be called chandini bar and not library bar. PS: Isn't it illegal to allow kids in a bar?

    Nice bar with satisfying finger foods. We were served by Sunil (I hope I got his name right! It's been a few days since I was there) and he was incredibly helpful.

It's not where I would go for a culinary or gastronimic experience, but it's quite a relaxing place to spend your time in.

    Been a regular throughout. Just came this Friday night 25/08/2023 , and the sever/bartender named “DEEPAK” as he told me acted so rude and dumb , it was shocking . I asked him for the bar menu thrice but he was busy serving so called *foreigners* , asked him for the reason and he told me that I have told my colleague to serve you . Really sad and disheartening that a customer who is a regular is treated in such a manner . Just for the few dollar tips in your personal aspect makes you act that way is not expected from a employee of LEELA( I’m sure you will disagree for the TIP part but sadly it’s the truth ) . I hope the service is not discriminatory just for a few dollars tip from the next time . Thanks and regard .

👍👍 Absolutely love their rice combos. Paneer rice is my all time favourite. Great option for dinner, if you work nearby. If you're looking for a place for quick bites, then you need to visit this place.
