With class oozing out from every bit of this place, including its address (UB city Mall), Shiros is a place crafted for elegant dining. Some of the best cocktails which must try here are the ‘forbidden nectar’ and ‘crimson bride’. Apart from the cocktails, the place is also famous for its Japanese cuisine, especially their delicious Sushis. If you are planning to go weekends, make sure you book your tables in advance, as the place generally gets full.
#4 The Humming Tree
Bump into this place any day of the week, and if you are lucky you will catch some or the other band performing live at the venue. Being obsessed with great music, The Humming Tree’s entire cocktail menu is inspired by different songs and bands. Some of the must try cocktails here are – My Shallow Lover, The Rambling Man, and if you are looking for something basic, go with the Virgin Mohito, they are splendid.
#3 Monkey Bar
There are two outlets of Monkey Bar in Bangalore, both are good, but I would suggest you to visit the one in Indiranagar. It has a stunning ambience which gives an uncanny homey feel. The cocktails are great, and are mostly served in very cool and funky jars. In terms of price as well, they aren’t over priced by any means, proving to be a great option to hang out with friends even in tight budget situations.
#2 Church Street Social –
One of the liveliest venues in Bangalore, Church Street Social is the place to be for a loud and quirky experience. The cocktails which perfectly complement place are ‘The Longest Long Island Tea’, ‘Trip on the Drip’, ‘The Lantern’, ‘Cosmo Explosion’, and the list just goes on and on. Located in the heart of the city (MG Road), Church Street Social is the place for high spirits.
#1 The Black Rabbit
Topping the list is The Black Rabbit, a club which has won many a heart in Bangalore within a very short span of time. One of the reasons behind it pulling a great crowd every time is their exclusive line of cocktails. From the long list of cocktails, the ones which you should try first are ‘Penicillin’, ‘Foreplay’, and ‘Choco Loco’. These drinks can be a little heavy on your pocket, but they are totally worth it.
