New Delhi, December 07, 2021: After a hugely successful first edition that ranked and celebrated the 30 best bars in the country in 2019, Tulleeho and Man’s World  Magazine in association with Teacher’s now announce the second edition of 30 Best Bars  India 2021. Based on a nationwide poll of more than 200 bar enthusiasts and industry experts from a countrywide long list of over 500 bars, the rankings and awards show honours India’s 30 best bars,  bartenders and bar teams whose impeccable service has set new standards in the country.

The ranking for the year will be unveiled at the 30 Best Bars India 2021 Awards ceremony at The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences, Gurugram, on January 19, 2022. 

This year, 30 Best Bars Awards is not just about providing Indian bar and bar talent national and global recognition and promoting bartending as a  serious profession across the country. It is also about acknowledging and appreciating the resilience shown by bar operators and staff through the lockdowns and their remarkable comeback since then. 

Announcing the second edition of India’s 30 best bars, Mr Vikram Achanta, Founder and CEO, Tulleeho, says, “The past two years have been extremely hard for everyone, and the bar industry was no exception. It saw its share of business devastation with many bars shutting shop for good, a flurry of job cuts and staggering losses. It was certainly a grim phase for the businesses to navigate, yet most sailed through despite the hard times, which is worth every bit of appreciation. 30 Best Bars India 2021 will be a celebration of the bar industry’s resilience and its promising future.”

Talking about making the process even more robust, Mr Radhakrishnan Nair, Publisher & Editor of MW, added, “This year, we are also focused  on further streamlining our nomination and shortlisting process. An advisory panel of local jury chairs has been appointed in each region to provide us with a better understanding of the bar scene in various cities across the country.” Our jury chairs include Karina Agarwal & Shreya Soni (NCR), Rohan Carvalho (Karnataka), Karthik Shetty (Telangana), Harinath Shanker (Tamil Nadu), Shatbhi Basu (Mumbai), Minoti Makim (Pune), Nolan Mascarenhas & Kimberley Pereira (Goa) and Sanjay Ghosh.
