Baagh & Friends
Baagh & Friends
We bring the gin. They run the night.
Baagh & Friends is how we spend an evening in someone else's bar. We bring the gin. They run the night.
The bars decide what to make, and the drinks that come out of these nights belong to them. What we get back is a room meeting Baagh for the first time in the hands of bartenders they already trust.
Bar Outrigger, Dona Paula
Baagh Blue with Lupa at Bar Outrigger, freshly minted No. 51 on Asia's 50 Best Bars. One long night.
Blue in the bottle. Lilac in the glass. Jamun all the way down.
Baagh
Chhetri and the Outrigger team poured Baagh Blue every way it can go, with Arijit Bose on main-character energy all night. On the plates: Manu Chandra's Lupa, with Chef Russell on the pass.
Came for a sundowner. Closed the bar.
Nook, Guirim
Baagh & Friends, again. This one involved Nook, DJ Sean, plenty of gin, and a room that did not seem particularly interested in going home.
Fair enough.
Solene, Moira
Turns out people have a lot of questions about gin.
Nikhil Bhoomkar and Jatin Dev Bobb spent the evening at Solene answering some of them, telling the Baagh story and introducing members to Baagh Blue over a tasting. Then the music started, the cocktails came out, and things became considerably less educational.
As they should.
The series continues. If you run a bar and this sounds like your kind of evening, talk to us.
