A night of jazz, crafted cocktails, and after-dark conversations.
Bengaluru, November 2025: There are gatherings that appear on calendars, and then there are those that move quietly, through whispered mentions and knowing nods. The Fifth Sip belongs to the latter. A recurring evening that invites a different pace, one where the city slows just enough for conversations to stretch, glasses to clink without hurry, and music to settle in like a second skin.
This November, the Secret Society returns. And this time, it brings with it Margaret’s Eye – the India’s first women led white spirit bar that has built a reputation for cocktails that read like poems and experiences. On 7th November, Margaret’s Eye travels south to take over One Floor Down by Helen’s, Bengaluru, for a night that promises jazz, craft spirits, and a touch of after-hours intrigue.
At its core, The Fifth Sip is not loud. It doesn’t ask you to dance; it asks you to lean in. The music live, warm, and deeply intimate, creates a glow that sits somewhere between nostalgia and anticipation. The cocktails are layered and thoughtfully composed, emerging from behind the bar with the quiet confidence of something that knows it will be remembered. And the room? It feels like the sort of place where strangers become co-conspirators, where shared glances say more than full conversations, and where the evening writes the story, not the clock.
Margaret’s Eye’s presence brings an unmistakable artistic flair to the takeover, one rooted in narrative-led mixology and an appreciation for ambiance as a character in itself. One Floor Down, with its penchant for late-night warmth and conversation-led hospitality, makes for a perfect host.
For those who enjoy their nights textured with depth, sound, taste, and just a hint of mischief, this is an evening worth seeking out.
The Secret Society gathers again. And the city, for one night, may just feel a little different.
