If you have been holding on to your Pride Month celebrations in search of a good place, the wait finally ends. Over the years, as the world has embraced inclusivity and the joy of being oneself, queer-friendly spaces have sprouted rapidly. Even in the capital, many restaurants and bars have committed themselves to celebrating the LGBTQIA community vivaciously. Here&rsquos a list of all the happening and queer-friendly bars and restaurants in New Delhi you can head to
Depot48
If you love live music and punchy cocktails, then Depot48 will surely please you. Located in GK 2 M Block, this resto-bar has been a long-time favourite among the city&rsquos gastronomers. In celebration of Pride Month, at Depot48, you can relish unique cocktails available exclusively throughout the month of June. This exclusive list includes eclectic mixes with quirky names, such as the drink &ldquoLana Del Gay,&rdquo featuring fresh flavours of cucumber, sweet lime, lemon and hibiscus tea.
Address M9, Level 1 & 2, M Block Market, Part 2, Greater Kailash 2
Sidecar
Sidecar needs no introduction to anybody in the city who loves a good drink. After winning a spot in Asia&rsquos 50 Best Bars consecutively for two years, Sidecar has become a top favourite for Delhiites. Apart from being the most hip place to be, Sidecar has also been a constantly vocal ally of the LGBTQIA community from the beginning, and that comes through most colourfully in their Pride Month celebrations. This year, apart from enjoying the masterful creations featured in their exclusive Pride Month menu available all month long, witness a powerful conversation moderated by Gurnoor and enjoy a moving live band performance by Zero Gravity on June 25.
Address M29, M Block Market, Greater Kailash-2
Kitty Su
For a fun night, head to Kitty Su without a doubt. As one of the first restaurants to come out in support of the community, Kittu Su has become a hot favourite in the capital among the queers. At Kitty Su, you can be a part of the pride celebrations any time of the year as long as it&rsquos Thursday. Apart from being hailed as the capital&rsquos go-to party address, Kitty Su is known to host many known queer artists, performers and drag shows throughout the year.
Address The Lalit Hotel, Barakhamba Rd, opp. Modern School, Connaught Place
Cocktail And Dreams Speakeasy
If you love Sidecar&rsquos vibe but are in Gurgaon, this speakeasy bar is exactly where you should head. It is the perfect place to be if you want to enjoy a fine drink while listening to live jazz, and its old-school rustic decor takes the experience up a notch. Moreover, since Sidecar&rsquos Yangdup Lama also helms this speakeasy, you can relish the same ambrosial flavours of Sidecar&rsquos Pride Month exclusive cocktails here. We can&rsquot speak highly enough about the &ldquoBorn This Way&rdquo cocktail featuring gin, lychee and yuzu cordial, Aperol and lime.
Address SCO-23, Sector 15, Part 2, Market, Gurugram
