PCO Bar — Restaurant in New Delhi

Had a Really bad experience at PCO Delhi today... The cocktail was not true to the recipe and was a disappointment. Even after knowing Vikas, the Head bartender, I did not have a good experience at the venue. I tried to have a conversation with the bar staff and no one seemed interesting in explaining their 'forbidden' menu and what they had done with the cocktails. I got very bland and different replies from the team when asked about which whiskey they used in their 'Crack an Egg' cocktail and the didn't know what went into it. You either give me a bill as soon as I have ordered or wait till I'm finished with my night or at least my drink. I got my drink and proceeded to take a seat at the cigar lounge, where a staff member came running to me with a bill like I am going to run away without paying interrupting my conversation with friends and insisting in clearing the bill. Whereas some Japanese people sitting right beside us were also in shock about this behaviour. My friends on the other hand were not presented with a bill which they cleared when we were leaving which was similar case with the Japanese people. A bad cocktail with 0 hospitality from the staff is the least thing I'm expecting when an establishment is one of the top bars in the nation. Shame on the management who have not trained their team and allow this behaviour to happen. Will never in my life show up to Delhi PCO or take part in any takeovers done by them. Thank you, now I have 1 less place to decide from where I'll be taking my...

PCO in Vasant Vihar is one of Delhi’s most interesting bars — a true speakeasy with a secret-passcode entry that immediately sets the mood. The interiors are stylish, dimly lit, and vintage-inspired, spread across multiple levels. If you like buzzy vibes, the basement gets energetic on weekends; for quieter conversations, the upstairs seating is more relaxed.

The cocktails are definitely the highlight here. The bartenders know their craft and can personalize drinks based on your taste, whether you prefer smoky, strong, or refreshing. The special menus (like “Forbidden”) are creative, though sometimes a bit hit-or-miss depending on your preference. Either way, it’s a great spot if you enjoy experimenting with mixology.

Food is available, and while some dishes are good, it doesn’t always match the quality of the drinks — a few items can be inconsistent. Prices are on the higher side, so expect the bill to reflect the exclusivity and ambience.

Service is polite and attentive; staff are happy to guide you through the menu. The overall experience feels unique and fun, especially if you go in knowing what you want — a cocktail-driven night out with a touch of mystery.

Best for: date nights, catching up with friends, or when you want a slightly upscale, “hidden gem” bar...

You can’t find this place easily but once you find it’s you would love it for sure. The entry is very interesting, discreet and fascinating. You need to enter a pass code so that the door opens They place good music along with nice lighting. It will give you a world war II Inn retro feel. The mocktails were nice. We tried virgin pina colada, virgn mojito and pco's signature mocktail. All were refreshing. My favorite would be pina colada if you are looking for something sweet else virgin mojito. In food, we ordered a lot of things like spicy chicken dumpling, chilly chicken, chicken satay, stuffed chicken, grilled sole with lemon butter sauce, pork chao sui bao, pepperoni pizza and roast chicken & jalapeno pizza. All of the items were great but some of the dishes stood out and definitely deserve to be tried like pork chao sui bao. It was terrific. Spicy chicken dumplings were very tasty. Roast chicken & jalapeno pizza was delectable and by far one of the best pizzas I tried. Chicken satay was great. The quality of the food is worth every penny you invest here. Finally for the desserts, we tried brownie sandwich and fried ice cream roll. Both of them were sweet and did their job to end the perfect dinner. Loved...
