9 Best Pubs in Bangalore for when you want to give the Breweries a Break

Cocktails, bottled beer, and some pub grub is what you get at these pubs!

09 Jul, 2019 by Ruth DSouza Prabhu

Cocktails, bottled beer, and some pub grub is what you get at these pubs!

Agreed, Bangalore has close to 60 breweries and counting as of May 2019. And, while a cold brew is always welcome, there are times when you want the vibes of a good old pub, where some of the classics and some good grub are what you get. If you are looking for a place to party that is not a brewery, here is a list you may want to keep handy.

Indigo XP Koramangala, South Bengaluru

Take in the legendary Bangalore weather with the terrace seating at Indigo XP. With its Asian and Indian inspired menu, there is a great choice to go with your selection from the bar. From a range of cocktails to some great bottled beer, they have it all. The Char Siu Pork Belly and the Chocolate Lasagne are good picks.

High Ultra Lounge Malleshwaram, West Bengaluru

There is only one place in Bangalore where you can be over 30 stories up in the sky and enjoy an evening out.


Guru, once a bartender at High Ultra Lounge may have left a long time ago, but Guru's Love Potion continues to rule supreme. \


Asian food is great.


It is an expensive experience but one that you will definitely remember for a long time to come.
