Bar Sama in Bengaluru's Ulsoor neighbourhood is set to host Delhi's acclaimed cocktail destination AABBCC for a one-night takeover on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 8 pm onwards. The evening will feature bartender Sahil Gaur presenting a specially curated menu inspired by global cuisines and innovative mixology techniques.
Ranked No. 85 on the extended Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 list and featured in TIME Magazine's World's Greatest Places of 2026, AABBCC is known for transforming familiar culinary flavours into unconventional cocktails. The menu will include Oddly Done Gochujang, inspired by Korean fruit salad; Ciao Tutu Bene, which recreates Italian pizza flavours through fat-washing and thermal shock; and Mango Payasam, a contemporary take on the South Indian dessert. Godfather, featuring magnolia tea amaretto and dandelion root bitters, will also be served.
Founded by Pratheek Reddy in collaboration with the team behind Singapore's Cat Bite Club, Bar Sama draws inspiration from Bengaluru's traditional drinking culture. Its agave-forward cocktail programme has been shaped by Jesse Vida, Gabriel Lowe and Lauren Sosnowsky, complemented by a Thai-inspired menu from Chef Vichita Kumar.
The collaboration will bring together AABBCC's experimental approach and Bar Sama's relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere, offering Bengaluru's cocktail enthusiasts an evening of inventive drinks and distinctive flavours.
