"You know a restaurant's drinks are good when everyone at your table is passing around each other’s cocktails swapping sips. Expect the pass-and-sip at Baar Baar, a high-energy Indian spot in Downtown Bollywood-inspired cocktails that are way better than the food. Get the “Slumdog Millionaire,” which glows orange from turmeric-infused gin and tart passion fruit juice. There’s also a gingery “Munna Bhai MBBS” that cuts the whiskey burn with sweet mango murabba and enough ginger to wake up your sinuses. Each cocktail on the menu is incredibly easy to drink, so don’t be surprised if cocktail hour spills into a long dinner." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
