INDIA'S FIRST WINE SHOP


          INDIA'S FIRST WINE SHOP 

                  *********







This 150-Year-Old Wine Shop In Kolkata Takes You Back To The Vintage Era Of Boozing.


Rule of the East India Company Governor Robert Clive first time in 1760

The first wine shop was started.

First Licensed Bar.

Initially everyone was served free liquor.

India started drinking alcohol after 1760.



Shaw Brothers, established in 1872, is known to be the oldest bar in Kolkata. It is also popularly called Chhota Bristol, the name derived from the once existing nearby Bristol Hotel. Over the decades, it has served tired college students, office goers and even many noteworthy personalities like filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak. One has to be at luck to get a chair at Shaw Brothers without standing in the queue, especially during peak hours. The bar is always that crowded. It remains closed for entry from 6-6:15 PM every day for puja purposes. Except for that, it serves men till 10 PM, and women aren’t allowed here. Earlier, smoking was also permitted inside but is now banned due to government restrictions. As an alternative, cigarettes of different kinds are available right outside the bar.


As you make your way through the timeworn vintage-hued Metro Gully of Kolkata’s Esplanade, you will find a building with the hoarding Shaw Bros., strikingly standing with its old-world charm. Since the colonial era, nothing much has changed about the place. Still today, it remains jampacked with men from all classes, despite its unadorned, fuss-free and mundane decor. The voices are always loud here, and the drinks always cheap, and within this chaos, avid drinkers find comfort.



Kolkata called City of Joy

            ******


The 'City of Joy' earned its nickname because of its unfettered enthusiasm for its culture, traditions, literature, history, food and more. Kolkata is the perfect amalgamation of old-world charm and modern India.


Kolkata's famous alcohol 

             *******

Notable Bengali liquor names are Uran, Captain, Pincon Bangla number one, Sengupta's Punch, Sengupta's Spark, Tarzan, Dada, Wonder, etc.


So, if you’re a guy visiting Kolkata for work, leisure or any other purpose, Shaw Brothers needs to be on your bucket list, to experience a piece of life that’s raw, flamboyant and tipsy.
