About Barc cocktails

Barc is one of Kathmandu, Nepal’s most celebrated cocktail bars and speakeasy lounges, hidden behind the unassuming doors of the Bluestar Complex on Tripureshwor Road. It’s known for its craft cocktails, stylish ambience, and blend of international and local flavours, making it a favorite spot for evenings out, date nights, and special occasions. The cocktails here are hand‑crafted with creativity and care, featuring a mix of classic favourites and innovative drinks that often incorporate locally sourced ingredients and Nepalese spirits like aylā — a traditional rice liquor — alongside global techniques. The bar’s menu changes regularly, highlighting both experimental blends and familiar classics to suit varied tastes. Barc’s intimate, speakeasy‑style atmosphere — with elegant décor, grand arches, and a relaxed jazz‑inspired vibe — sets it apart from typical pubs, earning it international recognition, including being ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Bars and winning the Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award in 2025 thanks to its exceptional service and quality.
