The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate, often customizing drinks to guests' preferences. The bar attracts a discerning crowd of locals and expats, and the atmosphere is convivial yet refined. Small plates like sliders and charcuterie boards complement the drinks. Cobbler & Crew is a destination for those seeking a memorable night out in Pune.
