Shreya & Shreyas Jhunjhunwala are ready to leave their imprint on the city’s F&B scene with their brand-new Speakeasy Themed Bar, “VAAYU“, after working in the hotel industry for three years. Vaayu, which is located across from AMRI Dhakuria, claims to satisfy all of Kolkata’s gastronomes and pub-hoppers’ varied tastes and preferences.

The name “Vaayu” alludes to the open rooftop where it is located and is likely the only bar in Kolkata serving exclusively beer and wine. Due to its close proximity to the Dhakuria Lake, the area benefits from strong sunlight, lush vegetation, and other natural aspects that contribute to its special character.

The curators took great care when planning the bar’s interior. The timber, the rustic wall art, the expertly made haystack ceiling, and the cane-basket lights all contribute to the “speakeasy” motif and the hypnotic atmosphere they produce. Vaayu is a lovely 3000-square-foot area that has room for roughly 70 guests. The pub is the perfect hangout for anyone wishing to have a good time in a welcoming peaceful environment thanks to its comfortable seating, naturally bright décor, and open surroundings.

The fact that drinking games like Jenga, Flip Cup, Beer Pong, and Darts are available at Vaayu sets it different from other modern bars in the area.

The place also offers a plethora of Sangrias and Beer Cocktails. Presently the menu at Vaayu showcases 12 different kinds of Sangrias and 10 types of beer-based cocktails, at very reasonable rates. Other specialty drinks include Coffee Wine (wine infused with premium coffee), Coffee Beer, and the Harry Potter-inspired ‘Butterbeer’.

You will want to return to this establishment time and time again not only for the speakeasy motif, the lovely service, the alluring environment, the availability of drinking games, intoxicating beverages, and mouthwatering fare.
