Cobbler & Crew Joins World’s Top 500 Bars, Puts Pune on the Map

Pune’s Cobbler & Crew enters the World’s Top 500 Bars, ranked 428th globally—marking a milestone moment for Indian bar culture and local innovation.

Co-founder Vijeta Singh built Cobbler & Crew from scratch, driven by a bold vision, a learner’s mindset, and belief in first-mover impact.

The bar’s cocktail-first philosophy, menu innovation, and cultural storytelling have helped redefine how India experiences high-end mixology.

“Investing my time, capital, and energy into Cobbler & Crew was my leap into the unknown 3 years back. I had no background in restaurant systems. No operational playbook. Just a deep urge to start something tangible. Today, Cobbler & Crew is on the list of the Top 500 Bars in the world. It's a milestone. But more than that, it's a reminder: You don't always need certainty to move forward. You need a learner's mindset, conviction, and partners/team who grow with you”, shares Vijeta Singh, co-founder of Cobbler & Crew.
