​House of Paloma: An Art-Driven, Cocktail-Forward Bar opens in Bandra

On a quiet lane in Bandra, Mumbai, a new bar has opened its doors with quiet confidence and bold vision. House of Paloma is a cocktail-forward space where agave, artistry, and storytelling come together not just in the drinks but in the food, interiors, and every corner of its design.     ​
        For friends and founders Prathik Shetty, Chethan Hegde, and Samarth Shetty, House of Paloma is a project built on a decade of partnership and trust.  The vision is a shared one, shaped by the founders’ travels, their love for contemporary art, and their deep connection to global cocktail culture.  “We wanted House of Paloma to feel like a mini museum, a bar that comes alive with art and cocktails in equal measure,” says Prathik. Paloma was imagined as an homage to the rich Latin American cultures and ingredients that surround it. Spanning approximately 2,900 sq ft, the space opens outdoors with 42 seats, designed for a relaxed yet vivid atmosphere.

Head Mixologist M Sunil Prathab along with consultants Rahul Raghav and Karl Fernandes has developed a menu that draws from Latin American inspirations and channels them through craft. Caliente mixes Patron Silver with green apple, dill, vanilla spice cordial, and a chili kick, finished with a crisp green apple salad — hot, herbaceous, and unforgettable. Mogo Mogo blends white rum, raspberry, thyme, and Mogo Mogo tea, lifted with coconut jelly for something fruity, floral, and lightly tropical. Paloma 1950, the house’s ode to its namesake, reimagines the classic with Patron Silver, in-house grapefruit cordial, fizz, and a rim of tajin dust, both nostalgic and refined. 
          For Mumbai, it is a space that redefines what a cocktail bar can be, not just a drinking den but a cultural institution where art, food and cocktails exist in constant conversation. Where art installations shift with the seasons, cocktails evolve, and the menu grows. Q
