This Father's Day, skip the cliché gifts and raise a glass to Dad with something truly exceptional—a lineup of premium Indian whiskies and brews that not only honour his fine taste but also reflect the spirit of discovery, craftsmanship, and bold individuality.
Crafted for the modern explorer, SOORAHI is a whisky that speaks to the connoisseur who enjoys thoughtful indulgence. Derived from the Hindi words “soo” (good) and “rahi” (traveller), the brand celebrates India’s evolving journey in premium spirits. With a rich amber hue and a nose of vanilla, sherry, butterscotch, and a whisper of smoke, each sip delivers bold flavours of oak, caramel, dried fruits, and a smoky finish.Availability: Delhi & Punjab
Unapologetically bold, Infamous blends rare Scotch malts with Indian single malts and corn-rice whiskies from the Northeast. Matured in Tennessee whisky barrels, it’s a truly global spirit rooted in India’s Wild Wild East. Notes of berries, nuts, cranberries and a smooth, rebellious finish make this a standout pour.Availability: Assam
This small batch whiskey is the result of Scottish expertise and Indian terroir, matured in Assam under the guidance of industry legend John McDougall. With 51% local maize and aged in American oak, the result is a whiskey that balances blackberry and coffee aromas with a rich, spicy palate and long aftertaste.Availability: Assam
A tribute to the 55th Parallel North, this premium blend combines Indian malt with three differently-aged Scotch malts. The nose reveals smoky peat and orchard fruits, while the palate delights with honey, oak spice, dark chocolate and citrus zest—perfect for those who enjoy coastal complexity.Availability: Delhi
If Dad’s more of a beer guy, Lone Wolf delivers craft beer with attitude. Whether it’s the refreshing Alpha, classic Mavrick, or bold Wild, this brand champions individuality in every pour.Availability: Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Goa
Raise a toast to the man who’s taught you how to stand tall, stay bold, and always pour with purpose. This Father’s Day, give him something as unforgettable as his stories—one sip at a time.

India has welcomed its first ultra-luxe immersive gaming arcade experience with the grand launch of The Game Palacio at Phoenix Palladium, Mumbai. Spanning over 26,280 sq. ft., the venue marks the 10th outlet of the experiential brand under Prasuk Jain Hospitality Ventures (PJH) and showcases a vision of grandeur, innovation, and elevated leisure.
This outlet redefines the idea of gaming arcades in India, offering six boutique bowling lanes, 80+ advanced arcade games, immersive VR zones, and India’s first-ever in-mall cigar room. With elegant interiors that blend Art Deco charm and old-world casino luxury, it features black marble textures, gold-trimmed archways, emerald lighting, and plush seating surrounding a custom-built 360° island bar.
From reimagined classics like Halo: Fireteam Raven and Tomb Raider to nostalgic favourites like Monopoly Roll-N-Go, the arcade offers entertainment for all ages and moods. Every aspect is designed for sensory indulgence, from mood lighting and architectural detail to curated sound and hospitality.
Culinary excellence matches the setting, with gourmet offerings such as Crabstick & Caviar and Cajun Blaze, and signature cocktails like the smoky Maracuya La Picante.
“The 10th Palacio is more than a location; it's a reflection of our evolution,” said Priyanka Jain, Marketing Director of PJH Ventures. Founder Prasuk Jain added, “Phoenix Palladium is the perfect canvas for our most refined expression yet. As we aim for 50, we are building destinations that echo with imagination and celebration.”
What began five years ago with a bold vision has now become a cultural benchmark. The Game Palacio stands today not merely as a gaming venue but as a luxury lifestyle destination, uniting immersive entertainment, gourmet dining, and nightlife under one iconic roof.
A blockbuster has landed in Mumbai, and it’s flame-grilled to perfection! Nando’s has officially opened its flagship Casa in Kamala Mills, bringing its world-famous PERi-PERi flavours to the city for the first time.
After winning hearts across Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai, the launch marks a major milestone in Nando’s India journey. “From the start of our Joint Venture, we have been working to bring Nando's to Mumbai in a big way and are super excited to officially launch the Mumbai chapter,” said Sameer Bhasin, CEO of Nando’s India. “Mumbai is not just a commercial hub, but a city that thrives on community, culture, and connection. We see a beautiful synergy between the city's spirit and Nando's values.”
Originating from a small suburb in Johannesburg in 1987, Nando’s became a global dining sensation with its signature flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. Today, it has over 1,250 Casas across 23 countries, including 500 in the UK alone.
The Kamala Mills launch represents more than just another outlet, it’s the official arrival of Nando’s in Mumbai, a city known for its food culture and vibrant energy. With this step, Nando’s now operates 18 Casas in 7 major Indian cities and plans to open 12 more this year. Over the next decade, the brand aims to grow to 100 outlets nationwide.
Every Nando’s meal is made using fresh ingredients, free from artificial flavours and colours. Its PERi-PERi bastings and sauces, crafted from African Bird’s Eye Chili, lemon, garlic, and spices, allow guests to choose their heat level, from Lemon & Herb to Extra Hot.
What truly sets Nando’s apart is its bold mix of flavour, fire, and friendship. It’s more than just chicken, it’s an experience that connects people around the table.

In the heart of Bengaluru’s buzzing nightlife, Tommy’s has officially opened its doors on Old Airport Road, a refreshing return to the no-frills neighbourhood bar that feels as familiar as it is fun.
Tommy’s sits at a location steeped in history, once home to iconic spots like HAL Bar, Krupa’s, and Sai Krupa. Now, the reinvented space brings new energy while honouring its past with kitsch cat memorabilia, nostalgic music posters, and a Rock-Ola jukebox that takes requests, one of just four in India.
“Bangalore has always had a culture of everyday drinking, not in excess, but in ease,” said Sujay Venkatesh, Founder of Tommy’s. “With Tommy’s, we wanted to bring back that spirit of no pretence, just solid food, great drinks, and a place that remembers your regular.”
The vibe inside is unmistakably Bangalore: quirky, cool, and comforting. With sticker-covered windows, cassette-tiled walls, and a popcorn machine reminiscent of old single-screen theatres, the interiors make you smile while you sip.
From cocktails like Tommy’s Margarita, Batanga, and Strawberry Daiquiri to draught beers and rare whiskies, the bar menu is crowd-pleasing and extensive. The food strikes a nostalgic chord too, think egg bhurji, bheja masala, biryani, mutton seekh, and chilli cheese naan bites. It’s comfort food meets classic bar fare.
More than just a watering hole, Tommy’s is designed to be your go-to, whether it’s a quick post-work drink, a lazy weekend unwind, or a spot to let the jukebox play your story. Open seven days a week, it brings back the ease and charm of everyday bars, the kind that remember your name and your drink.
Address: 1st Floor, No.89, AM Plaza, HAL Old Airport Road, Murugeshpalya, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560017.
