  1. Rank 1. Lair

    Modern Cocktail Bar


  2. Rank 2. Hoots'

    Cocktail Bar

    The cocktails here are numbered rather than named, which turns out to suit the vibe perfectly. Hoots' is a small, dimly lit cocktail bar tucked below wine bar Perch in Vasant Vihar, cosy enough to feel like someone's well-stocked living room. The drinks are carefully constructed, an Old Fashioned riffing on miso, a Whisky Sour finished with chamomile foam. The 50 Discovery listing has begun to spread the word, so the secret is getting out.


  3. Rank 2. PCO

    Cocktail Bar

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
