While much of Lucknow’s nightlife plays loud and fast, there is one rooftop in Gomti Nagar that leans into hush. Perched above the bustle at Comfort Inn Hotel, Dante Bar and Kitchen is curating stillness. Think of it as a soft retreat. A mood. A speakeasy-style sanctuary for those who’ve outgrown the race and prefer to pause.
Just the hours you needed
Here, the lighting is low, the energy unhurried, and the interiors invite you to stay awhile. The terrace, now freshly revamped, frames the skyline like a postcard, making room for your lingering evenings. Meanwhile, the music never intrudes. A gentle backing track to real exchanges and longer stories. The kind of space where a cocktail is a companion, not a performance.
And speaking of cocktails, Dante’s Happy Hours stretch from 1 PM to 8 PM, with a Buy 2, Get 1 Free offering. It’s less about the deal and more about giving you time!
Plates that pair well
At Dante, the menu’s got just as much charm as the place itself. Start with the Jalapeño Cheese Cigars (₹400), cheesy and moreish or try the Tandoori Malai Broccoli (₹475) if you love classics. The Punjabi Murgh Tikka (₹600) brings the heat, perfect for long chats and longer sips. For mains, the Aglio Olio Peperoncino (₹400) is a classic done right, while the Martaban Ka Paneer (₹500) packs bold flavour with homely comfort. But if there’s one dish that truly steals the show, it’s the Mushroom Galawat (₹475), smooth and gone in seconds.
Meanwhile, the bar is stocked with premium bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, rum and wine, all the labels you’ve been eyeing. The cocktail list may be limited but it doesn’t miss! The Cosmopolitan (₹499) is tart and crisp, while the Margarita (₹499) comes with a proper punch of tequila and a salted rim to match. Shaken, stirred, or served over ice!
Knock Knock
If you are planning something more personal, Dante has the space to match the moment. A cosy, air-conditioned private dining room perfect for intimate celebrations. Bookings are available for birthdays, kitty parties, corporate wind-downs and more.
All we’d like to add is that Dante doesn’t follow trends or shout for attention. It stays true to itself; grounded and authentic. So, if that suits your vibe, call 073792 22275 to book a table or make an enquiry. Follow @dante.lko on Instagram for regular updates.
