A Bar Takeover Written in the Stars: Beno x UNO Izakaya, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru

There are evenings that simply promise cocktails, and then there are evenings that invite you on a journey, through flavour, craftsmanship, and story. At UNO Izakaya, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru’s serene ode to Japanese elegance, one such evening awaits as Beno, South Goa’s celebrated cocktail destination, brings its cosmic-inspired creations to the city for an exclusive bar takeover.

At the heart of this experience is Harshit Agarwal, a mixologist whose name resonates across India’s bar circles and beyond, a visionary recently ranked among the top 15 cocktail makers globally by Hayman’s Original Gin Competition. Agarwal’s menu draws inspiration from the mysteries of the zodiac, with each cocktail designed to capture the essence of a celestial sign. 

Expect gin’s crisp complexity elevated by the brightness of starfruit in Leo, a cocktail that roars with warmth and charisma. Find harmony in Libra, where gin mingles with Assam tea and citrus for a symphony of balance. Taurus is indulgent and grounding, pairing gin with the creamy decadence of mint chocolate ice cream and subtle spice. The free-spirited Aquarius surprises with gin’s botanical notes layered with tropical pineapple and soft vanilla undertones, while Gemini delights with gin’s clean profile, prosecco’s sparkle, and a gentle marigold floral whisper.

Set in UNO Izakaya’s intimate, wood-toned interiors, where soft lighting and clean lines echo Japanese precision, this evening promises more than cocktails; it promises connection, discovery, and the quiet luxury of savouring something rare.
