Mortar and Pestle Bar offers a unique fusion of Indian-inspired cocktails and culture. The bar's design, with multiple doors, can sometimes create a disjointed ambiance due to guests entering and exiting. Seating is mostly high tables and stools, with a comfortable area near two of the doors.
Despite these minor issues, the standout drinks make Mortar and Pestle a notable destination. The bar, which shares its space with Curry Up Now, offers a selection of cocktails on tap and a variety of hard liquor, although some items may not be available. Food can be ordered from Curry Up Now and is described as satisfactory.
Prices are slightly premium for the quality liquor. The ambiance is pleasant but not exceptional, making Mortar and Pestle a decent choice for a casual outing with good drink options and quick snacks. The friendly staff, especially Francesca's exceptional cocktail-making and hospitality, have made it a must-visit spot for many.
