Our Story

Empire Bar has been a Kolkata institution since 1990, standing proudly on Chowringhee Road in the heart of the city. What began as a neighborhood watering hole has evolved into a city landmark — a place where generations of Kolkatans have shared drinks, stories, and memories.

Located near the iconic Metro Cinema, we've witnessed the city transform around us while staying true to our roots. Our bartenders know regulars by name, their preferred drinks, and the stories that come with each visit. It's not just a bar — it's a living archive of Kolkata's social history.

Whether you're here for a quiet evening with a single malt, catching the big match with friends, or celebrating a milestone with colleagues, Empire Bar offers that rare combination of nostalgia and energy that only a true legacy bar can provide.
