AMPM

Kolkata, India

Style-wise, this place harks back to colonial-era clubs, with its geometric tiles, rattan chairs and curio-dotted shelves. The concept, though, is resolutely modern: a polished daytime coffee spot that shifts up a gear come the evening, pivoting to cocktails and live music. The line-up – listed on Instagram – is reliably eclectic, with past performers running from drag divas to full-scale salsa ensembles. Dinner’s served at the tables by the stage, or you can stick to drinks, from a bar team that likes to add a local twist to tried-and-tested cocktails. Think a hit of masala-tea vermouth, a curry leaf-spiked punch, or a judicious sprinkle of radhuni (wild celery seeds). Do as the regulars do and start with an AM Mint Snap, which pairs cocoa-infused cola with aromatic, coconut-washed gin.
