Each Bartender has his own style, However, Sandy is known to have the most of it.
Each time I think of Sandeep, It takes me back to a time 10 years ago, at Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, When I met him for first time at the wedding of Arun Nayar and Elizabeth Hurley. In a star studded affair, Sandy’s presence at the bar could not be missed.
Sandy is flamboyant, He has his charm and a way to go about not just serving his guests right but also entertaining them at the same time, off course every time, with various tricks of the trade he owns as his unique skill set. Sandy, is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated bartenders India has produced and The Industry has given him as much as he has given back to the industry with his various students from his bartending school taking the bar trade to the next level.
Roughly about 18 months back, Sandy took the plunge to start his own Cocktail bar at Sec-29(Behind Iffco Chowk metro station) in Gurgaon and has truly made its mark on cocktail connoisseurs of Gurgaon, especially those wanting to have a good time in a classier setting. His bar is neatly designed and has a suave speakeasy charm to it, an elegant use of wood adding the earthy taste to it.
List of cocktails at his bar speaks a lot of Sandy’s own personality and thus are bespoke and always enjoyed in a good spirit. Some of my Favorites are: Last Tango in Modena, The Last Word & The Sazerac.
Food at Sandy’s is surprisingly good, and is inspired from the various sojourns sandy and his lovely wife, Valerie has taken in their lives. Valerie also actively contribute to the recipes, while sandy ensures the staff follows the processes and is at all times dedicated to serving their guests the best they can. Being at Sandy’s often end up being a great learning experience listening to his life stories and Bar Gyaan, which is one thing that makes me go there time and again.
Thai Fish Cakes, Home Made Lamb Cutlets, Spanish Ham Croquettes, Thai Chicken Salad, Salmon Gravadlax, Fish N Chips, Maple Marinated Pork Ribs with Polenta Chips & Corn Salad are some of the Must Try Dishes at Sandy’s and No meal is complete without its Tiramisu.
At Sandy’s Popular nights includes their Karoake Sundays, The Ladies Night on Thursday offering complimentary cocktails to all girls, and Dandys at Sandys every Tuesday offering 1+1 for all men on whiskeys. So must Visit Sandy’s soon and share your experience with us.
