House Of Spirits
In and around the Whitefield area, you'll spot a House of Spirits in bright, bold letters. Don’t let that deter you from entering for your less-basic alcohol needs. On different occasions, we've found bottled brews like Bira, White Rhino, and Simba, so your Netflix movie nights are sorted. If it’s wine you're after, apart from Sula in white and red, you'll find Sante (including the Rosé) and Dia (lightweights who love wine, rejoice!). For the harder stuff, they stock Jägermeister, and if that's too intense, you can comfortably stick to Johnny Walker or one of the many flavoured white rums on offer. We may have even spotted the elusive white Old Monk.

Dewar's Wine Stores
Probably one of the oldest stores on this list, Dewars on St. Marks Road was established in the '40s and continues to serve premium alcohol to connoisseurs. Any wine lover in town swears by the extensive selection of vino, whether it's red, white, or rosé. The staff is also quite knowledgeable, so you can be sure you won't be given a Sauvignon Blanc when you ask for a Chardonnay. If you're a fan of Bombay Sapphire or other international spirits, they're likely to have those in stock, especially in the whiskey category.
Price: INR 150 upwards

Touted to be Asia’s biggest liquor store, Tonique is in the centre of the city on Kasturba Road, near the Cubbon Parkside.

From fine wines and whiskeys to liqueurs such as Kahlua and Cointreau, they’ve got it all.
