Swotha Coclktails

In the heart of Patan’s historic Swotha Square, where carved wood and ancient brick meet modern energy, a new story is unfolding.
A collaboration between BARC and Traditional Hospitality, The Bar at Swotha is where Nepal’s timeless charm meets contemporary craft.

Stepping inside feels like discovering something both familiar and new — the quiet beauty of heritage architecture, paired with the confident design and modern elegance that define BARC. Every detail has purpose: soft lighting that plays on textured walls, framed local art, and the warm hum of conversation.

At the counter, cocktails draw from Nepal itself — local botanicals, regional spirits, and ingredients reimagined through a global lens. The result is a menu that’s inventive yet rooted, blending classic craftsmanship with the stories of this place.

Here, hospitality flows naturally — from the soulful warmth of Traditional Homes to BARC’s refined, design-forward spirit. It’s not about formality, but about feeling welcome. Whether you arrive for a slow afternoon drink or to linger into the night, this is a space to pause, connect, and simply be.

Swotha Cocktails is more than a destination. It’s an experience shaped by heritage, creativity, and the art of slowing down — a celebration of old Patan’s rhythm, lived in the now.
