Old Loco

Old Loco is a casual bar and restaurant set within Daspan House on Loco Road in Ratanada, Jodhpur. The venue combines a relaxed dining format with a well-stocked bar, making it suited to meals, drinks and easy-going gatherings. Its character is informal rather than formal, with a focus on familiar food and classic drinks.

The kitchen draws from several culinary traditions, including international dishes, Indian regional cooking and local Marwar cuisine. The approach centres on comforting, recognisable food prepared with local, seasonal and fresh ingredients. This gives the menu a broad regional and global range while keeping the emphasis on approachable flavours and established favourites.

The bar overlooks the central courtyard and offers classic cocktails inspired by earlier eras, alongside an accessible wine selection. The drinks programme complements the food without making the venue feel like a specialist cocktail bar. Old Loco works for a relaxed drink, a casual meal or an evening that combines both.

Alfresco seating occupies the central courtyard, which changes in feel throughout the day. Morning coffee and breakfast take place in a sunny open-air setting, while evening dining brings a more atmospheric courtyard experience. The outdoor area provides an alternative to the indoor bar and restaurant seating without separating the venue from its main social setting.

A Mughal-style garden offers another dining setting, with greenery, flowering plants and a fountain surrounding the tables. The garden looks towards the red sandstone architecture associated with Jodhpur, adding a sense of place without making the atmosphere overly formal. Dinner in the garden suits guests looking for a quieter outdoor setting, while the courtyard is a practical choice for daytime visits and casual drinks.

Old Loco brings together world food, Indian regional flavours and the cooking traditions of Marwar, Rajasthan, in a setting that moves from breakfast through to evening dining. The combination of a bar, restaurant, courtyard and garden makes it suitable for diners who value flexible seating and a relaxed atmosphere within a heritage-style property.
