While Chit Chat Chai doesn't serve alcoholic beverages per se, we think their drinks are innovative enough to give any bar a run for its money. Check out their Apple Rosemary Spiked Tea whose garnished cinnamon is lit up at your table, or the Jamun Gin cocktail served with black salt. All the drinks are made with non-alcoholic spirits, so you get the taste of the original drinks minus the buzz. Order the Ulavacharu Spaghetti Pasta to make it a hit meal.

Hodd's is designed to replicate a plush living room of a fictional character—Mr. Hodd. Each drink tells a story and is super innovative.

While The Hoppery is well-known for its beautiful Greece-themed ambience and al fresco dining, we think their cocktails don't get enough mention. While the menu is limited, you can try the Basil and Berry G&T if you're a gin lover or Aunt Audrey, a whiskey and grapefruit drink if the liquor of your choice is whiskey. The pizzas here are pretty delicious too.

Aside from their lip smacking Turkish Mezze platters, we love Babylon Bar and Kitchen for their variety of signature cocktails aside from their pre-dinner and post-dinner cocktails. Irrespective of your drink of choice, there's something for everyone on the menu.

Apart from their excellent sushi and other Pan-Asian food dishes, Monastery has a pretty impressive bar menu with options like Clarified Pina Colada and a Five Spice Negroni.

Head to Terrai Neo Telangana Kitchen & Bar for a luxurious experience. The ambience is earthy, with cultural Telangana art and motfs on the walls, and the red decor is an Insta-worthy click for sure. Their menu specializes in authentic Telangana flavors, raw and bold, and the cocktails compliment the spicy kick. While some dishes are comfort food from local recipies, we love trying their fusion dishes and fusion drinks that add a touch of the state in every sip. We're talking about Kakatiya Cooler with white rum, coconut, pineapple, and curry leaves, Golconda Gimlet wth scotch whiskey, cucumber, cilantro, and syrup, Not So Mirchi with vodka, tamarind jaggery, and chilly, and TSK with tequila, gongura pickle, and grapes.

Weekends and evenings at PaPaYa hit different, thanks to its swanky ambience. Add their cocktails to the mix and it’s a great time. White spirits, dark and wines – thank the gods above because they ain’t diluted and weak. If you love a good gin and tonic, you can try all the six varieties, starting with Spanish Style. You can also get on the Negroni bandwagon and pair it with butter garlic prawns to balance the bold flavours.

If a trip to Thailand and Vietnam is on your mind, you’ll like the cocktail selection at Mamagoto that’s straight out of the world of Asian mixology. The concoctions are inspired by tropical flavours and it’s everything coconut, watermelon and pineapple in a glass. Yum, right? Sip on Tuk Tuk Picante that brings together jalapeno, lemon, pineapple, coriander root with tequila or rum-based Coconut Cartel with heavy notes of cucumber, coconut syrup, pineapple juice and a touch of sesame oil. Feeling adventurous? Try their Kombucha cocktails.

Guntur Karam in your chicken and Guntur Karam in your drink, Aidu certainly does things differently when it comes to regional cuisine. For our friends who come to try Telugu flavours, we recommend this restaurant not just for food but their cocktails too. Limited but interesting, try as many of their craft cocktails as you can. They are delicious and adequately strong for a guaranteed good time (wink, wink).

Speaking of interesting cocktails, Forefathers is another restaurant that doubles as a great bar in Hyderabad, and should be on your radar for fruity cocktails. Don’t get us wrong, there are other flavours but we think the bartenders have a trick or two up their sleeves when it comes to fruity offerings with bananas, grapefruit, and coconut. With these hints, find the right cocktails from the menu and pair it with cheesy and spicy starters.

When the regular gets boring, Asian cuisine with good drinks becomes our go-to. Yours too? Hi-five! If dumplings are your comfort food (again, same pinch), you’re missing out if you have not had a dumpling and cocktail set at Ko Ko Kai. Our order? It has to be the Spicy Chai Kueh Dumpling with Siam Splash, always!

LBB Pro-tip: A lot of good Asian restaurants serve banging cocktails, check out this list.

Not conventionally cocktails, but we’ve spotted some interesting shooters at Noho. Parties start with popcorn, vodka, lemon juice with popcorn syrup, and end with sake bomb, which is sake with beer. Apart from that, they also have top Sake brands like Meijo Junmai and Yamadanishiki Honjozo. So go ahead and get a taste of Japan in the city.

Find GOAT (Greatest Of All Time, for the uninitiated) cocktails here and that’s legit written on their menu. Jamming Goat is where you go to chill with your pals over rounds of drinks. They have their signature cocktails and classic cocktails but with a twist. Don’t go expecting basic G&T, pina colada, and whiskey sour as you’re going to get a version that you have not tasted before. Nothing much to add, you just gotta try it yourself!

Ru is all about fine dining with old school vibes. Right from the entrance, the architecture and interiors will wow you with its rustic charm. Walk by big boulders, elegant wooden decor with aged wood that will transport you to the bygone, Nizami era of Hyderabad. No matter where you sit, indoors or outdoors, Ru has a delectable selection of craft cocktails and imported spirits. Their food menu is extensive with great South Indian and North Indian dishes but Ru’s Golden Hour (gin-based cocktail with all things citrusy) and 1936 Affinity (sweet scotch based cocktail) goes well with either. Feeling fancier after that second drink? Try a glass of Haku, a Japanese craft vodka.

Step into Loqa Cocktail Room, and the ambience will catch your eye. The vibe is equal parts quirky, artsy, and futuristic with retro TVs, bamboo accents, and cryptic projections. Every corner is a photo spot, every drink tastes unique, and the music pulses just right to make you forget the world outside. The drinks? Total showstoppers. From the smokey matcha infused “What Ra Matcha” to the curry-lead spiked “Fifth Dimension”, every sip is a twist on familiar South Indian flavors. Hungry? Dive into Spicy Prawn Tacos, Avakai Cheese Kulchas, or the takeout style Mutton Biryani. While the menu has classic cocktails as well, we recommend exploring the flavor profiles of their experimental cocktails before anything else.

Tucked behind a bookshelf, Oxymorons is Hyderabad’s ultimate speakeasy. This 670 sq ft cocktail lab feels like stepping into a Wes Anderson set – red-lit, intimate, and cinematic, with plush seating, old school-meets-modern music, and an ambience that nudges you to make conversations. The menu is pure experimentation with bar bites like Curry Podi Shoestring Fires and Ricotta Bhurji with Crackling Fenugreek. But, this experimentation doesn’t stop at food. They have whacky drinks that will surprise you at every sip, seriously. Think whiskey cocktail with jackfruit and coconut, and vodka with Wai Wai masala and chicken broth. Crazy, we know!

If you’re the kind of person who loves trying drinks that are anything but basic, check out Whisky Samba. Their menu is a playground for wild and wonderful concoctions, from Whisky Samba Sour with its citrusy-amaretto twist to the Pineapple Rasam Highball that slaps. Set inside Knowledge City, the place oozes modern charm and the highlight? A bar that looks straight out of a movie scene (seriously, bottles everywhere!).

We love this Irish pub for a chill night out with friends and here’s why. The place screams lounge vibes with warm wooden decor, cozy lighting, and a bar that stares you in the face to try something new. The music is old school soft rock classics and that just sets the mood right. Their drink menu is pure mischief – the Young Jimmy’s Sour blends Irish whiskey with pineapple and coconut, while the Salted Susy throws in a smokey bacon twist with cocoa bitters (yes, bacon in a cocktail, and yes, it works). The food is just as adventurous, with dishes ranging from Sicilian prawn risotto to lotus stem and water chestnut dimsums, plus hearty grills and pizzas for good measure.
