The Ritz-Carlton Bengaluru has embarked on a deliberate beverage-led refresh, unveiling two distinct bars designed to broaden the city’s drinking landscape. The Cloak Society, a deliberately elusive speakeasy occupying the former hotel bar, trades accessibility for theatricality, pairing a curated cocktail programme with luxury brown spirits to deliver an intimate, flavour-forward experience. Tequiro, by contrast, channels high-energy conviviality for a younger, nightlife-focused crowd. General manager Reuben Kataria and newly appointed director of beverage Colin Tait say the redesigns reflect both a response to Bengaluru’s burgeoning cocktail culture and a desire to differentiate from copycat venues.The Ritz-Carlton Bengaluru has embarked on a deliberate beverage-led refresh, unveiling two distinct bars designed to broaden the city’s drinking landscape.
