Co.So
Amid Nagpur's growing culinary scene, four friends united by a shared vision set out to create something exceptional. The result: Co.So - Cocktails and Socials. A space where elegance meets creativity, blending refined design, innovative cocktails, and a thoughtfully crafted menu. Co.So effortlessly balances metropolitan flair with the warm, welcoming spirit of its hometown.
What began as casual, after-work discussions in Mumbai's spirited pubs slowly transformed into a refined blueprint when these four enterprising minds-each established in their respective fields-decided to bring their collective talents home to Nagpur. Harsh Batra, Karan Gour, Vineet Periwal, and Chetan Parwate, each a force in their own right, infused Co.So with a unique blend of global expertise and local passion.
Their goal was clear-Co.So was not just going to be a restaurant; it was going to be an experience. As the founders eloquently share, "We wanted to create a place that felt both luxurious and inviting, where people could come together and feel a sense of belonging. Co.So is our way of giving back to the city that gave us so much."
At Co.So, hospitality transcends mere service-it is an immersive art. Every facet of the experience is a deliberate and thoughtful endeavor, designed to leave a lasting impression. The moment you step inside, the ambiance sweeps you into a world that feels refined yet relaxed. The bar program is an eloquent testament to this ethos. Curated by world-class mixologists, the cocktail menu is a collection of masterfully crafted drinks, each with a distinctive story to tell. Kokum Konkoction and Caramella are not just cocktails; they are expressions of artistry, where premium spirits and bespoke ingredients are meticulously combined to deliver a sensory journey.
"We aim to surprise with every sip," says Karan, one of the co-founders. "Our cocktails are designed to be an experience, to evoke a feeling, to transport you to a place that's both familiar and foreign." Each drink is a carefully orchestrated harmony of flavors, an unexpected delight that lingers long after the glass is empty.
The food at Co.So echoes this commitment to excellence. The menu is a curated voyage through global flavors, reinterpreted to cater to the local palate. Here, every dish is a narrative in itself-a perfect balance between familiarity and innovation. From the velvety Burrata Chaat, enhanced by zesty chutneys and crisp accents, to the aromatic Co.So Fragrant Feast of chili chicken, each dish promises a refined yet exhilarating culinary journey. The kitchen doesn't just create meals; it creates moments of discovery, inviting guests to explore new tastes while offering comforting spins on classic dishes.
The design of Co.So is as much a reflection of the founders' vision as the food and drink it serves. From the moment you enter, the space envelops you in an atmosphere that feels simultaneously intimate and expansive, relaxed yet polished. The main dining area hums with energy, where laughter and conversation blend seamlessly with the clinking of glasses, creating a lively and dynamic experience.
In contrast, the outdoor terrace exudes tranquility-a haven of green, where guests can enjoy their drinks under the open sky, away from the city's hustle. The private dining area is a sanctuary of sophistication, offering an exclusive and serene setting for those who seek intimacy.
Co.So's design is a blend of contemporary elegance and timeless warmth. Polished concrete floors, exposed brick walls, and ambient lighting create an atmosphere that is at once industrial and inviting. The alfresco area, with its whitewashed walls and cobblestone-like flooring, transports you to a Mediterranean oasis. "Every corner of Co.So is designed with intention," says Chetan. "We wanted to create a place where every visit feels like an exploration-where guests can find both the energy they seek and the tranquility they desire."
But Co.So's vision stretches beyond just its food, drinks, and design. The founders are determined to cultivate a community, a space where people can come together to connect, learn, and celebrate the finer things in life. "We're not just creating a restaurant," says Vineet. "We want Co.So to be a place where guests feel like they are part of something bigger-a community united by a love for great food, great drinks, and great conversation."
This philosophy is brought to life through a variety of curated events, from exclusive mixology masterclasses to collaborative dinners with visiting chefs. Through these initiatives, Co.So is not only elevating Nagpur's culinary scene but also contributing to the city's growing hospitality ecosystem.
As Harsh puts it, "We're creating a space that's about more than just eating and drinking-it's about the experience, the connections, the memories made. Nagpur is ready for something like this, and we wanted to be at the forefront of that evolution."
Co.So's success is already creating ripples beyond Nagpur. The founders' commitment to excellence has caught the attention of culinary talent from across the country, further enriching the local hospitality scene. But this is just the beginning. With their sights set on expanding to other tier-two cities, Co.So is poised to become a landmark not only in Nagpur but also in India's rapidly evolving hospitality landscape.
"The hospitality industry in tier-two cities is ripe for innovation," says Karan. "We're excited about bringing Co.So to other cities, offering the same premium experience we've created here, and continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible."
From its humble beginnings in Mumbai's pubs to its soaring success in Nagpur, Co.So represents a new chapter in the city's culinary and social story. It's not just a restaurant; it's a cultural milestone, a beacon of creativity, quality, and community. As the founders look ahead, the vision remains clear: to continue elevating the dining experience in India's tier-two cities, one drink, one dish, and one delighted guest at a time.
