Bagheera Brings a Sense of Theatrical Opulence to Main Street<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The team behind Canada\u2019s Best New Bar of 2022, Laowai, <\/b>opened its latest hidden gem: Bagheera<\/strong><\/a>*<\/strong> and we visited this opulent and glittering sanctuary, concealed behind an unprepossessing Chinatown betting shop! The cocktails are excellent, and the room blew our minds. (From the press release) Bagheera takes its inspiration from the cultural crossroads of Lewis Hart and Brij Rathi, co-owners and co-founders of Three Kingdoms Hospitality.<\/p>\n

\"Bagheera\"<\/p>\n

Whereas Laowai\u2019s Prohibition-era Shanghai vibe stems from Rathi and Hart\u2019s shared love of both the city of Shanghai and that era\u2019s illicit and seductive nature, Bagheera \u2014 the namesake of the black panther in Rudyard Kipling\u2019s The Jungle Book<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 pays homage to the adventurous spirit of the Indian subcontinent as the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century gave way to the 20th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to continue our partnership and to create another exceptional experience for our guests,\u201d says Rathi. \u201cSo, when we were brainstorming ideas, I said: \u2018Why don\u2019t we go where our own family histories intersect?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth our families have roots in India, so we looked for an intersection and realized we both appreciated Rudyard Kipling and his storytelling ability,\u201d says Hart. \u201cEverything flowed from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat worldbuilding exercise laid the foundation for Bagheera,\u201d adds Rathi.<\/p>\n

\"Bagheera\"<\/p>\n

Guests will step up to the counter at the Happy Valley Turf Club off-track betting shop (518 Main Street) and place a wager on \u201cKing Louie.\u201d That password grants access through a vestibule papered in original period postcards that leads to Bagheera\u2019s sumptuous 60-seat main cocktail lounge. The space is inspired by a train car and glitters with over 1,000 coins and bangles sourced directly from the antique bazaars of Delhi and Jaipur.<\/p>\n

With interior design, furniture, and lighting by globally recognized, London, U.K.-based firm, Bergman Interiors (also the designers of Laowai), Bagheera\u2019s two rooms are studies in theatricality and richness. The sparkling jewelry on display, curated by London- and Delhi-based d\u00e9cor brand Rosie Dahlia, adds even more luxe to an already extravagant d\u00e9cor. The commitment to showmanship continues down to the smallest of unexpected and delightful details \u2014many of which naturally favour a feline theme.<\/p>\n

\"Bagheera\"<\/p>\n

A bespoke, 45-foot, hand-painted jungle mural spans the entire north wall across from the bar leading to the semi-private Drawing Room. Here, period, bohemian curios in bronze and brass reside in a softly lit \u201cCabinet of Curiosities\u201d that also houses some of the bar\u2019s harder-to-find whiskeys. Cheeky overpaints by internationally renowned \u201chacker\u201d artist,\u00a0Blase<\/a>, playfully superimpose modern commercialism onto Gothic canvases.<\/p>\n

Behind the 42-foot bar, clad in a hand-carved, reclaimed teak frontage with an illuminated bar top and backsplash of polished tiger blue onyx, Operating Partner Alex Black\u00a0oversees a drinks program of era-inspired cocktails named after Kipling works, featuring unexpected ingredients such as saffron-infused gin (Man\u2019s Red Flower), smoked paprika (All One Vine), and cinnamon tincture (The Anvil). A separate Gin & Tonic section offers Classic, Savoury, Tropical, and Bon Vivant options.<\/p>\n

\"dsc02823\"<\/p>\n

Subcontinental cuisine by Phong Vo (Laowai) boasts a pakora menu with a variety of meat, seafood, vegetarian, and vegan fillings and a selection of share plates such as Carrot Daal, Saag Aloo Pave, Goan Tamarind Fish Curry, and Coconut Lamb Koftas.<\/p>\n
