About The Long Bar
A Colonial-Inspired Bar with Rajasthani Character
The Long Bar at Raffles Jaipur is one of the resort's signature social spaces, drawing on the storied Long Bar tradition that is synonymous with Raffles hotels worldwide. Set within this luxury resort in Kukas, on the outskirts of Jaipur, the bar channels a refined colonial aesthetic while weaving in the warmth and craftsmanship of Rajasthan. Whether guests arrive for a pre-dinner cocktail, a nightcap after an event, or an intimate gathering among friends, the atmosphere is unhurried and distinctly convivial — the kind of space that invites lingering conversation.
The bar's design pays homage to both the global Raffles legacy and the local artisanal heritage of Rajputana. Expect handcrafted detailing, curated décor, and an overall sensibility that feels simultaneously rooted in place and elevated in execution. The interiors strike a balance between drama and intimacy, making the Long Bar equally suited to a quiet evening for two and a lively cocktail reception for a larger group.
Drinks, Occasions & the Art of the Gather
The Long Bar's drinks programme is built around signature cocktails, a considered selection of spirits, and classic bar offerings — with the Raffles brand's long-standing association with exceptional mixology informing the entire menu. Guests can expect inventive concoctions alongside timeless classics, with the bar team adept at tailoring the experience to the occasion.
For event planners and hosts, the Long Bar presents a compelling option for cocktail receptions, celebratory sundowners, corporate networking evenings, and pre- or post-dinner social hours tied to larger events taking place elsewhere on the resort's extensive grounds. Its atmosphere works especially well for groups seeking a sophisticated social setting rather than a formal banquet arrangement. The bar can also serve as a natural gathering point for wedding guests, offering a relaxed counterpoint to the grandeur of the resort's larger event spaces.
Kukas, Jaipur and the Raffles Jaipur Resort Setting
Raffles Jaipur is located in Kukas, a short drive north of Jaipur city centre and conveniently positioned near the Jaipur–Delhi National Highway, making it accessible from both Jaipur International Airport and the city's railway station. The resort itself is set across expansive grounds that reflect the palatial architectural tradition of Rajasthan, with the Long Bar forming one of several distinctive food and beverage venues within the property.
For guests travelling from Delhi, the resort sits along one of India's best-connected highway corridors, making it a popular destination for destination weddings and multi-day corporate retreats that draw attendees from across the country. The broader Raffles Jaipur property offers accommodation, spa facilities, multiple dining venues, and a range of dedicated event spaces — meaning the Long Bar can function as one element within a fully integrated event programme, or simply as the centrepiece of an evening gathering in its own right. Its place within a five-star resort ensures that service standards, culinary support, and event logistics are handled with the professionalism the Raffles name demands.
