About The Old House - Durbar Marg

The Old House is a stylish dining and cocktail destination located in The Park on Durbar Marg in Kathmandu, Nepal. It blends classic Newari architectural charm with a modern bar and restaurant experience, making it a standout spot in one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. The concept was created by renowned mixologist Yangdup Lama and co‑founder Minakshi Singh, bringing their well‑known craft cocktail approach (from bars like Sidecar) to Kathmandu with a local twist. The design and vibe are inspired by traditional Newari heritage and 1970s–80s Kathmandu, with warm woodwork, heritage details, and an inviting ambience under the shade of a historic banyan tree. At The Old House you’ll find a cocktail‑forward bar, creative drinks that draw on regional Nepali ingredients and stories, and a food menu that reimagines local staples like sekuwa (marinated grilled meats) and other dishes with a contemporary touch. It’s a popular spot for lunch, dinner, drinks, and social evenings, offering indoor and outdoor seating and a lively yet relaxed environment.
