Back in its bigger and brighter fourth season, Bar Wars by Greater Than Gin and NAO Spirits took over Mumbai last night and the energy was electric! We saw 9 teams compete at the visually stunning Waikiki in Andheri, mixing 27 delicious cocktails. The teams sported some pretty intriguing names like Chamomile, Fennel, Orange Peel and Juniper, which added a touch of flair and objectivity to the competition.

The challenging yet engaging format of the competition, which put bartenders and servers in the spotlight, kept us hooked. Cheers to the winners who took over the bar and stole the show. Papas Bombay (coriander seeds) secured first place with an impressive 56 cocktails sold, closely followed by The Bombay Canteen (Bar Lemongrass) with 46 cocktails. Bronze went to Cirqa (Bar Angelica Root) managed to sell 37 cocktails.

Speaking to Knocksense, Aditi mentioned, “This is the second Bar Wars event I am attending. The first was in Pune. This time, I am here with my friends and the vibe is absolutely amazing. I plan to get really drunk tonight!”

From the looks of things, almost everyone enjoyed the event and it’s safe to say that Bar Wars is quickly becoming a cool, highly anticipated annual event!
