North America’s 50th Best Bar takes over Grappa, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi

A high-octane rendezvous with Bijou’s finest serves, creative energy, and city vibes

(New Delhi, August 2025) Straight from Mexico City, one of the world’s most exciting cocktail scenes, Bijou Drinkery Room is coming to Grappa Bar at Shangri-La Eros New Delhi for one night only. Ranked among North America’s 50 Best Bars, Bijou isn’t your typical Mexican bar; there are no sombreros or tequila shots here. Instead, expect moody lighting, jazz in the background, and cocktails built around bold Mexican ingredients with global finesse. On 08th August 2025, from 8 PM, Bijou takes over the Grappa bar for a night that brings the soul of Mexico City to the heart of the capital.

Set against the warm, modern aesthetic of Grappa, where barrel-aged Negronis and whimsical Italian blends have already carved a niche welcomes the creative minds behind Bijou. This Mexican speakeasy bar concept plays with different flavours and draws inspiration from the brilliance of jewels. Known for its theatrical cocktails and mastery of experimentation, Bijou is a space where drinks aren’t just served, they’re performed.

For this exclusive evening, Bijou’s masterful mixologists will present a bespoke cocktail menu crafted in collaboration with William Grant & Sons, using their premium spirits, including the rich, layered character of Monkey Shoulder and the bright, botanical complexity of Hendrick’s Gin. Guests can expect unexpected flavour combinations, jewel inspired cocktails, and a presentation style that turns every pour into a moment worth remembering.

To complement the cocktails, the culinary menu serves a selection of Mexico-inspired gourmet finger foods, curated to contrast and enhance with playful heat, vibrant textures, and globally tuned precision. Each dish is crafted to elevate the cocktail experience, enriching the evening’s culinary narrative with global mixology.

As the night evolves, live DJ will elevate the atmosphere with a curated soundscape, Latin-inspired grooves and ambient rhythms that echo the spirit of Mexican nightlife. It’s the kind of evening that begins with a toast and ends with a memory.

“At Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, we’re committed to bringing global flavours and experiences to the Delhi,” says Abhishek Sadhoo, General Manager, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi. “The Bijou Bar Takeover is part of a larger vision to host immersive collaborations that introduce city to the world’s most celebrated bars and talents. This is just the tip of iceberg, we look forward to curating many more such experiences that combine creation, craftsmanship, and international charm.”

This event is a rare convergence of two unique bar philosophies, Bijou’s fancy for spectacle and precision, meeting Grappa’s Italian soul and quiet mastery. The spin-off is a night where every cocktail and sip becomes a statement.
