Deja Brew GK2 - Redefining Café-to-Lounge Culture in South Delhi

Written By Laiba Arif

Depot48    An independent performance-based culture makes Depot48 a live music venue in GK2 instead of a conventional party bar. Indie bands, blues groups, acoustic singer-songwriters, jazz nights, and open mic nights are always on the calendar, and these are the times when upcoming Delhi bands are featured. The stage is not shoved into a corner but made to be the center of focus, further reiterating that performances are the driving force behind the experience. Advertisements are usually done through posters and event boards, which reinforce its artist-led image. Depot48 is a big shot among the Greater Kailash 2 bars, featuring the independent music scene in Delhi.

Deja Brew


Deja Brew is a sophisticated bar with a brew lounge and craft-forward interior. The idea is a combination of the specialty coffee culture with high-quality beers, handcrafted cocktails and global comfort food. It is not meant to be a loud nightclub, but rather a carefully considered place where leisure evenings would be at the forefront. The bar counter is central, featuring draft taps and an espresso bar that makes its dual nature coffee by day/craft pours by night. The homemade pizza menu, the dimsum basket of Asian cuisine, and the select cocktail menu are all indicators of a kitchen that leans towards the high end of the global cafe menu rather than the typical bar menu. Deja Brew is one of the Greater Kailash 2 bars that positions itself as a sophisticated design-oriented lounge with equal measures of beauty and decadence.


Deja Brew Greater Kailash

Deja Brew is a hybrid brew lounge, café, restaurant, and bar located in M-Block Market, Greater Kailash II (GK2), New Delhi. It combines crafted beverages (coffee and beer) with a diverse food menu for both casual dining and evening hangouts.




Deja Brew Review


AMBIENCE

The atmosphere at Depot48 is warm and inviting. The walls present the taste of red brick with the dark painted areas giving the impression of a rustic and urban touch. The lighting is mostly amber and gold, and there are mild overheads and concentrated stage lights. The stage space is raised a notch and framed by sparse black equipment, which gives the performances clarity of vision. The venue has wooden tables that are high, metal-framed bar stools and tightly packed chairs. The upholstery is inclined to dark tones, in the form of deep brown, black and subdued grey, which is in harmony with the background of bricks. The bar counter has a polished wooden top. Gesturing in real-time performances, the spectators tend to be on the edge of the stage. The color palette, in general, red and matte black brick, warm gold light, gives the setting of a cosy and yet cool look.

The Deja Brew interior is very European-influenced, with a cafe touch interwoven with industrial detailing. There is a geometric wooden lattice design on the ceiling, which adds depth to the architecture. The brickwork is mixed with a clean white finish, and copper piping is tapped on the upper areas. There are warm amber pendant lights over tables, and the installation of a dramatic feather-style chandelier is used as a focal point. The bar counter is mint-green textured on the front panel, has a polished black countertop, and is softly underlit to give it an evening vibe. Smaller tables are furnished with light wooden cafe chairs, and the armchairs are beige, cushioned to soften the overall tone. There is a transition from the striking black-and-white chevron flooring towards the bar to the herringbone wooden floor in the dining areas. Elements of decor include interior planters lining the brick walls, custom-made wooden shelves with ornaments, and a mural of a deer in a forest setting that adds a European bistro appearance. The golden light makes the space look rather cozy, a refreshing scene among the best bars in Greater Kailash.




Deja Brew Food 


FOOD

The food menu of Depot48 is grounded in comfort-oriented bar food. Popular appetizers to try are Loaded Nachos with cheese and jalapeno, Peri-Peri Fries, Chicken Wings with a glaze of BBQ or spicy, and Crispy Onion Rings. Sharing platters are normally found with fries, wings and dips. Heavy meals are the Classic Cheeseburger available with fries, the BBQ Chicken Burger, and the Veggie Burger, which is available to vegetarian diners. Pasta options offered are the Pasta Arrabbiata and creamy Alfredo, which would offer a fuller meal choice. Indian cuisine boasts of such dishes as Jeera Aloo, Paneer Preparations, Khumb Do Pyaza, Dal Makhani, Chicken Lababdar, sea food preparations such as Sole Fish Curry and Prawns Masala. The food is anchored on the familiarity of flavor and not experimental fusion. Food is served in generous portions.

The cuisine at Deja Brew has a global comfort-food and luxurious inclination, a delight among the cafes in GK2. The Dimsums (Basket) offer Assorted Asian Greens, Chicken Sui Mai, Coriander Chilli Oil Chicken and Prawns Hargao.  The Handmade Pizza range presents craftiness. There are Field Mushrooms, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Garlic Confit, Four Cheese with Pesto, and Burrata Rocket Margherita. The non-vegetarian options, such as Smoked Chicken and Mushrooms and Mediterranean Chicken, are a welcome addition to the menu. Mains are the reflections of international inspiration. The Asian and continental influences are reflected in Red Thai Chicken Curry with Jasmine Rice, Chicken Krapow, and Grilled Chicken with Herb Rice. Mezze Platters (Veg and Non-Veg) bring some Mediterranean touch to the table. The desserts include Deja Brew Tiramisu, Baked New York Cheesecake, and Flourless Chocolate Cake, which are traditional, high-end delights rather than experimental ones.


Deja Brew Menu


Balance is illustrated in the menu here, a rare occurrence among the bars and cafes in South Delhi. There is an even distribution of vegetarian and non-vegetarian. There is an Asian, Mediterranean and continental influence which does not overpower the diner. It has handmade pizzas as a strong anchor and dimsum baskets as a variation during peak hours. The portions are large, and the presentation is in a neat cafe-lounge style. There is a casual-gourmet presentation of food. The chicken wings and bites are served on wicker baskets, topped with printed parchment paper, and accompanied by ceramic ramekins of dipping sauces.




Deja Brew Drinks


DRINKS

Depot48 offers signature cocktails such as Banging Beagle (vodka, vermouth bianco, elderflower, lemon, sweet lime), Screw Diveholler Chiller (whisky, passionfruit, lemon, soda, dehydrated orange), and Lazy Old Fashioned (whisky, sugar syrup, angostura bitters, orange zest). The tequila cocktails offered are Depot Paloma, Watermelon Man, and Spicy Marg, and they can be topped with Don Julio Blanco. There are vodka alternatives such as Monicatini, and gin cocktails such as Stranger Things, Peppermelon, and Bloody G&T, all of which are made using fresh juices, herbs, and interesting garnishes. Regular and premium pours are offered of standard spirits: vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and whiskey. There is also beer, and it is served in bottles or draught and is ideal in combination with the starters and platters on the menu.
Deja Brew Drinks

One of the favorties of Deja Brew is the beverage program. Beers available are Hefeweizen, Belgian Blonde, India Pale Ale, Stout, Erdinger Weissbier, and Chimay Gold, available in several serving sizes. A creative mixology approach is embodied in signature cocktails, which include Urban Bourbon, Roseate, Dragon, Strawberry Mint Moscow Mule, DB Bailey’s, Prince of Bombay and DB Jumbo LIT. The drinks are made with fresh ingredients and balanced profiles as opposed to too-sweet compositions. The brew identity is supported by amazing draft beers on the bar. Coffee variations are also a favorite with a professional espresso machine setup offering speciality brews.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

Differentiation, which is music-driven, sets the Depot48 apart from other GK2 nightlife establishments. Most of the bars in the neighborhood are focusing on DJ nights and dance floors, while Depot48 is investing in planned live performances. Emerging performers get a chance to perform during open mic evenings. The crowd is drawn to blues nights, acoustic show and indie band performances. The venue's size encourages direct interaction with the audience rather than a massive club vibe. This identity renders it a choice for individuals who particularly want live music in South Delhi. It is best to check the gig schedule first, so that you are not out of tune. Move to a Classic Cheeseburger if you are staying to watch more than one performance. A Whiskey Sour or a Mojito is a good match with some acoustic music to make the evening balanced. Some popular favorites include:        Chicken Paneer Tikka    Loaded Nachos    Tandoori Prawns    Cheesecake of the Day    Stranger Things
Deja Brew Menu

Deja Brew is the silent art of balance. When picking coffee, the clean, bitter taste of an espresso or the smoothness of a cappuccino are complementary to delicate herbs and a mild spice without overwhelming them. With bolder or grilled flavors or even a spice-driven one, try a crisp beer or a well-balanced cocktail. Carbonation cleanses the palate in between decadent bites, and drinks that are spirit-driven enhance smoky or umami flavors. A soothing cocktail or a last round of coffee can help wind down in a graceful and not jarring way. Some delicacies to try are:


  1. Coriander Chilli Oil Chicken Dimsums

  2. Red Thai Chicken Curry with Jasmine Rice

  3. Korean Inspired Salmon

  4. Deja Brew Tiramisu

  5. Prince of Bombay
