During the American Prohibition era, a number of illicit alcohol joints popped up all around the city which could be accessed only if you were in the know. This trend is coming back and catching on in India too, with PCO in Delhi being an exciting example. The entrance to the bar lies behind a black phone booth among the shop fronts of Vasant Vihar market, and one can enter only if they know the password that needs to be punched in on the telephone dial. On the inside, mismatched furniture, vintage keepsakes and classic cocktails perfectly fit the bill of the retro theme this speakeasy style pub is going for.
