Assagao, Goa, 2026: — Drop Dead Sexy is not just a bar; it’s a living, breathing artwork. Imagined as an immersive art space and designed by Siddharth Kerkar, the bar blurs the line between observer and observed, inviting guests into an environment that doesn’t just surround them — it responds to them.
From the moment you step inside, the space makes one thing clear: you are the centre of attention. Monumental lamps shaped like slow-moving hands descend from the ceiling, reaching out with an almost irresistible pull. Behind the bar, a wall of mechanical eyes tracks movement across the room — blinking, winking, lingering, because here, the assumption is simple: if you’ve walked in, you’re already drop-dead sexy. No criteria, no competition, no judgment. The art doesn’t ask for permission; it simply admires. That’s the rule, that’s the game, and space plays along: hands that want to graze you, eyes that refuse to look away.
Works by Subodh Kerkar anchor the space, with paintings and sculptures adding depth and grounding the playful sensuality in contemporary Indian art. Currently, the bar is further transformed by seasonal strawberry installations, bold, red, dripping, spinning forms that bring sweetness, colour, and a touch of cheeky chaos into the room.
The result is an atmosphere that feels intimate, curious, and gently unsettling in the best way. At Drop Dead Sexy, you’re not a spectator, you’re part of the artwork, being watched, teased, and celebrated by the space itself.
