As the famous Marvin Gaye once said: "let's get it on", but before that, sometimes you have to "get in the mood". Sometimes, grabbing a bite to eat at your local pub just doesn’t cut it. A demure dining room filled with candles and flowers is fine for a run-of-the-mill romantic night, but for those seeking to explore an entirely new realm of sensual dining experience that might take you a bit out
of your comfort zone, Shot 69 is the place. Between the food, the drinks, the ambiance and the layout, a lot can determine if you will leave wanting to get frisky, or just exhausted and ready to PTFO. So, whether you're planning to meet up with an attractive someone you pinged on a dating app and want to start things on a steamy note, taking a serious S.O. out to dine, or simply looking to reignite the flame with the love of your life, selecting a hangout that's the perfect balance of sexy, interesting, and foodie-friendly is often a daunting task. When Nandan Kudchadkar tackles a setting, you know the interiors are going to be something special. He knows just how and where to build sensuality, making heads and taste buds spin in a very exciting way. Straight out of the La Dolce Vita era, Shot 69 boasts both a sexy, sophisticated atmosphere and features beautiful and elegant drapes hanging from the ceiling as well as some of the best cocktails in the city. As curious as its name sounds this sexy, dimly lit pub with its extraordinary mixture of 1970s antique, gilded interior and luxurious tile flooring feels like it was built for date night. The décor is highlighted by the attention-nabbing Eye of Love and Pasion whose intimidating gaze and branched out mane hugs the wall of the long room and oozes opulence. Two other adjacent walls are illuminated with counter-to-ceiling brass shelving that proudly encompass an immaculate collection of exquisite glassware. It is almost impossible to imagine a more chic or sensual place to eat than this stunningly plush glass museum that includes some of Nandan's most iconic pieces of crystal of insanely expensive designs. The place is stuffed with quirky pieces collected on the owners' travels and reflect the multitude of influences befallen upon them. The absolute pinnacle of romance is The Sultry Mermaid stretched out gracefully across the length of the counter-top, gracefully arching her slender frame like a taut bowstring. Coming back to the concept, now I’m not saying erotic dinners are necessary for human survival, although it’s safe to say our culture would be vastly different were this the case. What I’m saying is that the motivation to feed is just as strong as the motivation to mate, and combining – and exploiting – these two innate compulsions can make for one hell of a social gathering. It is liberating to have the opportunity to explore the intersection of food and sensuality in a judgment-free setting, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get in touch with their own eroticism. Embrace the game of seduction with your favourite companion at this aphrodisiac pub. Discover the sensual side to dining as you indulge in a multiple course menu sectioned into clever categories, guaranteed to provoke irresistible sensations of pleasure, while experiencing a real taste of ecstasy from the moment you arrive. Our chefs invite you to enjoy this unforgettable, deliciously erotic, couple’s experience that is sure to ignite your senses. Each course is unique in both its flavour and presentation. Every plate placed before you will be a succulent masterpiece. Savour the colours, the aroma, and the flavours of erotic elements weaved throughout a dining experience. The absinthe list is nicely curated to pair with the food. Taste the forbidden as Miss Spaghetti serves you a divine concoction of some of the smokiest cocktails that are sure to make your clothes fall off. Shot 69 is at the bleeding edge of the resurgence in updating recipes from the pre-Prohibition era. Consequently, the drinks include addictive libations made with a variety of juices and tinctures. In keeping with its name, the bar menu features a line-up of 69 international hard-to-find risqué cocktails. With references to everything from intimate moments to silky lingerie, these racy drinks might prove a little embarrassing to order from that cute bartender but at the same time seemingly begging to be consumed. The flavours are almost as bold as the names suggest. They bring sly grins to women's lips, a wiggle to their hips and hopeful lust to men's imagination. Get a little tipsy on these sultry sips before you indulge in a smooch sesh on the nearby shore.
