Kolkata’s Conversation Room brings AABBCC to the city for a takeover
Delhi-based bar AABBCC, recently recognized in Asia's 50 Best Bars, is collaborating with Kolkata's Conversation Room for a one-night takeover event. The event aims to showcase the bar's unique, retro-futurist cocktail experience and its commitment to elevating India's cocktail culture.
Why it matters
The collaboration highlights the growing sophistication and international recognition of India's premium hospitality and cocktail scene.
