My fellow shot-queen Pia Desai Pasricha was sweet enough to give me the lo-down from Delhi’s big night at Shroom during the F1 festivities recently (I was left pretty intrigued by the place on my last visit myself.) Here’s her view of the night (and some cocktail recommendations yum, I want a Burst 52 shot like now!)
On what can arguably be called the capital city’s hottest party week, Shroom opened its doors to party goers. On a weekend filled with F1 excitement, endless parties and flowing champagne, Shroom lived up to all expectations with an opening night packed with celebrities, designers, models, and more! Just some of the faces spotted on the scene were Minissha Lamba, Riya and Raima Sen, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani, Gauri and Nainika, Varun Bahl and JJ Valaya. Not to mention a live performance by the Midival Punditz.
Adjacent to Shroom, is a molecular restaurant and cocktail bar called Smoke House Room. We decided to pre-party at the cocktail bar (you need reservations for this!) and try their extensive list of cocktails. I highly recommend the Deconstructed Watermelon Caprioshka and the Burst 52 shots! For added fun, try the jell-o shot platter… you may never want to stop partying!
Beyond the pulsing sound at Shroom, the fully mapped projection bar, lasers, LED’s and glowing furniture is a mulch-sensory experience that will leave you tingling at the impossible coolness of it all. This space age-y awesomeness and attention to detail by Riyaaz Amlani, Shivkaran Singh, Sid Mathur and Harmeet Bajaj, promises to take Delhi’s club scene to international levels.
