For nearly two decades now, Delhi has lived and breathed the IPL dream. We have watched the transformation of the Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals, cheering through every boundary and heartbreak, yet our loyalty hasn’t faltered. Whether you are supporting your home team or rooting for another, the sixer rituals are still at an all-time high. This season, the ritual moves from the living room to the city’s most iconic prism gastropub. Imagine sipping in style under a clear sky where the AC breeze keeps the heat at bay while the match day intensity soars. A literal midsummer night’s dream. Monkey Bar is back with their legendary IPL screening under their clear glass ceiling. This time, we are celebrating the love of cricket with a special Catch the Match menu. It’s specially designed for those who want their game with a side of glamour and an energy that doesn’t disappoint.

IPL at Monkey Bar
Monkey Bar dominates the skyline with its one-of-a-kind glass pyramid structure. Unsurprisingly, it strikingly resembles the Louvre Museum in Paris. Moreover, the interior architecture is just as captivating, with quirky, warmly lit chandeliers, a sprawling, dedicated bar, and a high-energy vibe that certainly stands out. It is a masterclass in industrial chic, with wooden floors, rustic furniture, and bare-brick walls that give off the perfect chilled-out yet cosy ambience for gelling with friends. And, the hero of match day is the screening of IPL on the massive LED screen perched over the glass ceiling. Whether you’re striking up conversations with strangers during a tense moment or tapping your feet to the music, the energy is infectious. Adding on, for those essential match-day breaks, their second floor comes equipped with pool tables and foosball to keep you occupied.
Catch the Match menu
No match day is complete without a baller menu, a blend of classic yet comforting chakna to pair with a cold pint. Monkey Bar is well known for their Indian fusion bites, and the new menu doesn’t stray far from it. That is exactly what Catch the Match menu entails, a strategic play of comfort and indulgence. It is curated to keep you fueled and your adrenaline rushing from the first toss to the last ball.
To kick things off, start with classic French fries. Not just any fries, but going off the city’s love for Indo-Korean fusion, they have a special Kimchi fries. Or, for those seafood lovers, the spectacularly crisped Dynamite prawns certainly serve the salt and spice right, with a refreshing julienne salad on the side. However, for the classic celebration, their chilli chicken bombs are a must-order. They are comforting, spicy mouthfuls that pair unsurprisingly well with a cold pint.
If you are seeking a substantial meal post-work, the butter chicken khichdi is the ultimate indulgent comfort dish. However, to share with your friends, you cannot go wrong with their OG Pepperoni Pizza, a consistent bestseller with spiced and chewy pepperoni, generously topped over a cheesy base. For those seeking a signature flair, the Kosha Mangsho Sliders are a brilliant nod to ethnic flavours packed into a modern, non-messy bite.
A perfect end to the game?
The beverage lineup is an all-rounder roaster. The wordplay here was guaranteed, as the spicy picante-style bestseller aptly named Allrounder is a winning cocktail. Or the Inswinger that comes with a pink gin delight, balancing sweetness with a strong alcoholic punch. However, if you are looking for a timeless classic beyond a cold pint, the Third Umpire LIIT is a long-haul drink to get you through the night.
Won the match? The sixer dessert is imminent. End your evening on a high note with the Bourbon chocolate molten lava cake, a sweet win that serves ultimate indulgence regardless of the scoreboard.
With its packed crowds, the DJ igniting the floor, and the electric IPL vibe, Monkey Bar remains a definitive spot to catch the IPL action or hang with your crew post-work in style.
