Bangalore, April 22, 2025: On Saturday, May 3rd, 8 PM onwards, BANG At The Ritz-Carlton is all set to host the BOCA Dubai for a one-night-only bar takeover. Blending BOCA’s sustainable initiatives with BANG’s stunning backdrop, this takeover is set to bring one of Dubai’s most coveted experiences to Bangalore’s most iconic rooftop bar.
BANG at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore continues to build on its legacy of delivering exceptional experiences against the backdrop of Bangalore’s green heart. Within this luxurious setting, BANG brings you a curated bar takeover by BOCA, winner of The Michelin Green Star, Middle East and North Africa’s Sustainable Restaurant of The Year 2025, and Three Stars in the 2025 Food Made Good Awards. BOCA exemplifies a profound commitment to sustainability, particularly within its bar and beverage program.
With sustainability at their core, BOCA arrives in Bangalore with four signature cocktails and one zero-abv beverage, and a host of edible garnishes, showcasing their mixology expertise. This mission of sustainability has earned BOCA a place amongst the world’s best bars and restaurants, as well as a plethora of international awards. Curated for Bangalore, BOCA has championed local ingredients such as tomatoes, cauliflower, strawberries, raw mango and single estate coffee, all sustainably sourced. The Strawberry & Rosemary elegantly combines Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru and bergamot liqueur with clarified tomato water, enhanced by fresh strawberries and a light dusting of rosemary. Date with Destiny celebrates flavours from both Bangalore and Dubai, featuring regionally sourced Middle Eastern dates and single-estate coffee, thoughtfully mixed with Aberfeldy 12 as its base. Raj Rough reimagines the classic Negroni, artfully blending Patron Silver and Campari with KRSMA red wine and raw mango extract to create a deeply complex libation. Their zero-abv offering is the Tomato Tea Spritz, which delivers a sophisticated layering of clarified tomatoes and single-origin Assam tea for a refreshing splash in the Bangalore summer. For the finale, BOCA has curated a special surprise cocktail, blending local produce with elevated technique and a reminder of their sustainability mission.
Speaking on this, Nitin Goyal, Bar Manager of Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore, said, “This partnership with BOCA heralds a new chapter for BANG at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore, one characterised by innovative collaboration and creativity. As we continue to elevate the city’s mixology and nightlife scene, we will continue to invite some of the world’s most acclaimed restaurants and bars to collaborate with us at BANG, set against the breathtaking backdrop of our iconic rooftop lounge.”
