Vintage charm meets modern minimalism at Bass & Barrel, the new 45-seater pub at Peerless Hotel Kolkata. The idea behind the space was to create a chill pad with a world tapas menu and cocktails that are right on trend. Spread across 1,300sqft, the place is a mix of art deco, 1930s English pub vibe combined with touches of modern minimalism. The mood will also vary depending on the day of the week as each day will feature different music settings ranging from DJ to live band and also karaoke.
“We have reimagined Peerless Hotel Kolkata as a testament to the hotel’s commitment to delivering an immersive experience for its guests. Bass & Barrel embodies innovation and creativity, offering a departure from the ordinary. Committed to an immersive sensory journey, every detail — décor, cuisine, entertainment — is meticulously curated. It tantalises taste buds with globally inspired cuisine, innovative small plates, and a diverse selection of single malts, cocktails, and draught beer. The service is a spectacle, with tableside theatrics like flamboyant flambéing and skilled salad tossing, adding drama and excitement. Mixologists craft handcrafted cocktails infused with creativity and expertise, sharing insights into their history and flavours. It’s a unique culinary experience designed to captivate and delight guests,” said Biswa Ranjan Mohapatra, general manager, Peerless Hotel Kolkata.
That apart, the hotel also has a new wing with refurbished rooms suited to the needs of the modern traveller.
