Why are Abhishek Tuladhar, owner of BARC Nepal, and Sagar Bista, the manager, in smiles? Well, the two mixologists from Kathmandu were in Kolkata to take over the Mehico bar and yes, it was a blast. With Patron on board with the takeover, the two men in green served cocktails with their flavours and flair
