Introducing India’s first contemporary art and cocktail bar - Room One

Contemporary Art Cocktails And Conversations

Tucked away amidst the mesmerizing landscape of Assagao, Goa, a hidden gem named Room One beckons with open arms.
This isn't just a cocktail bar; it's a haven where art dances with flavors, and where connections are kindled over conversations that warm the soul.

As you step through the door, a gentle ambiance envelops you, like a comforting embrace from an old friend. Soft lights illuminate the space, casting a warm glow upon the carefully curated artworks that adorn the walls. Every brushstroke, every sculpture seems to whisper stories of the artists who poured their hearts into them.

Siddharth, Kerkar, Vipin Raman and Bonita Mascarenhas the spirited owners, wear smiles that mirror the passion in their hearts.

To them, Room One is more than bricks and mortar; it's a dream realized, a love letter to art and hospitality. "Welcome," they beam, their eyes sparkling, "to a place where magic happens with every sip and stroke."

The interiors themselves are a canvas brought to life by Siddharth's visionary artistry. He has lovingly designed every nook and cranny, weaving threads of imagination into the very essence of the space.

Siddharth's artistry and attention to detail have given birth to an atmosphere that embraces you like an old friend's embrace. "Every corner," Siddharth shares with a heartfelt smile, "is a testament to our love for art and human connections."

The bar counter, a radiant centerpiece of the room, stands as a testament to Siddharth's trademark craftsmanship. Fashioned entirely from copper, it's a reflection of his dedication to his art. Each stroke, each curve of the copper, tells a story of his mastery. As mixologists craft cocktails with precision, it's as if the spirit of Siddharth's craftsmanship mingles with the spirits in the glasses.

Vipin Raman, on the other hand, has curated a cocktail menu that's a symphony of flavors.

Signature cocktails like "Disco Porn," a blend of Gin, Passionfruit, Vanilla, and Citrus, invite you to explore a kaleidoscope of taste sensations. "Kinky Kerkar," with Yuzu Bitters, Gin, Fernet-Branca, Assorted Citrus, and Tender Coconut Soda, dances on your palate like a spirited melody. And then there's "Invisible Paloma," a Tequila, Campari, and Grapefruit Bomb fusion that evokes an artistic burst of zest.

Bonita Mascarenhas, a driving force behind Room One, takes the helm of operations with grace and finesse. As one of the owners, she handles the intricate dance of logistics and guest experiences with aplomb. Her ability to seamlessly manage the behind-the-scenes aspects ensures that every visit to Room One is a seamless and enchanting experience

Arnold Hou, the seasoned head of Room One, brings a wealth of face value and experience to the table. With an air of sophistication, he oversees the operations with a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every aspect of the experience is finely tuned. Arnold's presence is not just about managing; it's about infusing the space with a touch of elegance that resonates with every visitor.

In Room One, conversations are as important as cocktails. In one corner, friendships ignite over a shared appreciation for a masterpiece hanging on the wall. In another, a solo traveler finds kinship with a couple, bonding over the nuances of a unique cocktail creation. Here, the essence of Room One thrives a sanctuary where human connections are painted with the hues of genuine interactions.

So, when you seek an evening that's a blend of contemporary art, handcrafted cocktails, and heartfelt conversations, Room One awaits your presence. "Here's to the art of life," Siddharth and Vipin toast, their voices brimming with sincerity, "where every sip and every shared sentiment create memories that linger in the heart's gallery forever." In Room One, their masterpiece isn't just the design; it's the warm embrace that welcomes you into a world of artistic fascination, with a larger-than-life creation suspended above, inspiring conversations that touch the skies.

With Arnold and Bonita, along with Siddharth and Vipin, forming the heartbeat of Room One, their combined dedication, experience, and artistry create a harmonious ensemble that brings art, cocktails, and conversations to life in a way that touches the soul.
