best pubs in bangalore (2026) - 20 spots, honest reviews

tldr: out of 20 pubs and microbreweries, my top 3 are toit (best overall pub, indiranagar), windmills craftworks (best beer quality, whitefield), and arbor brewing company (best american-style craft, koramangala). full reviews with beer recommendations, prices, and honest opinions below.

---

i haven’t done a proper bangalore pub crawl yet. this guide is based on extensive research - local beer blogs, google reviews, bangalore nightlife communities, and recommendations from friends who’ve been drinking in this city’s pubs for years.

bangalore is india’s craft beer capital. this isn’t opinion - it’s fact. the city has over 50 microbreweries, a drinking culture that’s sophisticated without being snobby, and a climate that makes sitting outdoors with a cold pint feel appropriate year-round. no other indian city comes close.

the microbrewery revolution started here in the early 2010s with places like toit and arbor brewing, and it’s only grown since. today you can find everything from german-style hefeweizens to barrel-aged stouts to experimental sours, all brewed within city limits.

a few things to know before the reviews. bangalore pubs generally close between 11:30pm and 12:30am. some get extensions till 1am on weekends. the legal drinking age is 21. most microbrewery pints cost rs 250-350. and the pub areas worth knowing are: indiranagar (100 feet road), koramangala (80 feet road and 5th block), church street, and sarjapur road.

let’s get into it.

the microbreweries

bangalore’s microbreweries aren’t just pubs that brew their own beer. they’re the reason the city’s drinking culture is what it is. these places take brewing seriously, rotate their taps, and have raised the baseline of what “beer” means in india.

1. toit

indiranagar, 100 feet road / microbrewery / rs 300-400 per pint / rs 1500-2000 for two / 9/10

toit is the pub that started bangalore’s craft beer revolution. it opened in 2010, and the city hasn’t been the same since. walk in on any given evening and you’ll find a cross-section of bangalore - tech workers, founders, artists, couples, solo drinkers, and tourists who read about it in a travel blog.

the beer menu rotates but always has 6-8 house-brewed options on tap. the toit weiss (hefeweizen) is the crowd favorite - banana and clove notes, smooth, perfect for bangalore weather. the toit red (amber ale) has a loyal following. the stout and ipa are both solid. seasonals like their belgian wit and coffee stout are worth trying when available.

the food is better than most brewery food. the wood-fired pizzas (rs 400-500) are legitimately good. the beer-battered fish and chips (rs 450) is reliable. the bar snacks - nachos, wings, loaded fries - are designed to keep you drinking, and they work.

the space is spread across two floors. ground floor is louder, first floor has a slightly calmer vibe. the outdoor smoking section gets packed. there’s almost always a wait on friday and saturday evenings after 8pm. go before 7pm or make a reservation.

the pitcher (1.5 liters) at rs 600-700 is the best value play for groups. four friends sharing pitchers and pizza is peak bangalore.

what to drink: toit weiss for a safe start. the seasonal special for something new. the basmati blonde if you want something lighter.

verdict: best pub in bangalore. not necessarily the best beer (windmills edges ahead), but the overall experience - beer, food, atmosphere, history - is unmatched.

2. windmills craftworks

whitefield / microbrewery / rs 300-400 per pint / rs 1500-2000 for two / 9/10

if toit is the pub you go to for atmosphere, windmills is the pub you go to for beer. the brewing here is the most technically accomplished in bangalore. their hefeweizen is textbook perfect. the stout has depth. the pale ale has balance. even their experimental brews rarely miss.

the space is industrial-elegant. high ceilings, exposed beams, the brewing equipment visible behind glass, and a stage for live performances. they regularly host jazz nights and acoustic sessions, which elevates the vibe beyond “just a brewery.”

the food menu is extensive and focuses on european and american pub food. the burgers are excellent. the wood-fired pizzas compete with toit’s. the beer cheese fondue (yes, fondue with their own beer) is the signature dish and it’s genuinely decadent.

the whitefield location is the main drawback. it’s a 45-minute to 1-hour drive from indiranagar or koramangala. but beer enthusiasts make the trek because the quality justifies it. if you’re already in the whitefield/brookefield area, there’s no reason to go anywhere else.

what to drink: hefeweizen is the must-try. the chocolate stout for dessert. ask the bartender about the current seasonal - they’re usually proud of it for a reason.

verdict: best beer in bangalore. the brewing quality is a clear step above the rest. worth the whitefield drive.

3. arbor brewing company

koramangala 1st block / microbrewery / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8.5/10

arbor is an american craft brewery that set up shop in bangalore, and the american influence shows. hoppy ipas, clean lagers, and experimental brews that rotate frequently. if toit is british pub culture and windmills is european refinement, arbor is american craft beer energy.

their ipa (rs 300-350) is probably the best ipa brewed in bangalore - properly hoppy, slightly citrusy, and not trying to be anything other than a good ipa. the honey blonde (rs 250-300) is the easy-drinking option for people who don’t love hops. the porter is underrated.

the koramangala location has a relaxed, almost californian vibe. wooden interiors, a patio section, and a crowd that skews slightly older than the toit demographic. the food is solid american fare - burgers, ribs, mac and cheese. the ribs are actually good, which is rare for a brewery.

happy hours (typically 4-7pm on weekdays) bring pints to rs 200-250, making arbor one of the better value craft beer options in the city.

what to drink: arbor ipa if you like hops. honey blonde if you don’t. the seasonal sour if you’re adventurous.

verdict: best american-style craft beer in bangalore. the ipa alone is worth the visit.

4. biere club

lavelle road / microbrewery / rs 300-400 per pint / rs 1400-1800 for two / 8.5/10

biere club was one of bangalore’s early microbreweries and has maintained its quality through the years. the location on lavelle road puts it in the corporate and upscale dining district, and the crowd reflects that - slightly older, slightly better dressed, slightly quieter than the indiranagar or koramangala scenes.

the beer menu is consistently solid. their hefeweizen, apple cider, and dark lager are the reliable orders. the apple cider in particular is one of the few genuinely good ciders brewed in india. the food menu leans european with wood-fired pizzas, sausage platters, and cheese boards.

the rooftop section is biere club’s secret weapon. bangalore’s weather means rooftop drinking is comfortable most of the year, and biere club’s rooftop has one of the better views in the area. sunset drinks here are genuinely lovely.

what to drink: apple cider for something different. dark lager if you want something rich. hefeweizen if you want to play it safe.

verdict: best rooftop brewery in bangalore. the lavelle road location and the rooftop make it the most “occasion” worthy brewery.

5. byg brewski

sarjapur road / microbrewery / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1500-2000 for two / 8/10

byg brewski is not a pub. it’s a beer park. the space is massive - acres of open-air seating, a garden, games area (cricket nets, badminton, carrom), and multiple bar sections. it’s designed for spending an entire afternoon and evening, not just a quick drink.

the beer menu has 20+ options on tap at any time, which is the widest selection of any single brewery in bangalore. the quality is inconsistent though - some brews are excellent (the wit and the stout), others are mediocre (some of the flavored options feel gimmicky). the sheer variety means you’ll find something you like, but you’ll also find some you don’t.

the food is standard brewery fare. burgers, pizzas, wings, nachos. nothing memorable but nothing offensive. the real draw is the space and the experience. birthday parties, corporate outings, and large group hangouts gravitate here because the space accommodates them.

the sarjapur road location means a 30-45 minute drive from central bangalore. sunday afternoons are when byg brewski is at its best - sunny, games in progress, multiple beer pitchers on the table.

what to drink: the beer sampler flight (try 4-5 beers in small glasses) is the smartest first order. then commit to whichever you liked best.

verdict: best pub for groups and all-day outings. not the best beer, but the best experience if you have 4+ hours to spend.

6. geist brewing

whitefield / microbrewery / rs 300-400 per pint / rs 1400-1800 for two / 8.5/10

geist is the brewer’s brewery. while other places focus on ambiance and food, geist focuses on making genuinely excellent beer. their head brewer has won multiple craft beer awards, and it shows. the wheat ale is one of the best in the city. the ipa has a clean bitterness that ipa lovers will appreciate.

the space is modern and industrial. the brewing tanks are visible and the staff can (and will) talk you through the process if you’re interested. the food menu is smaller but curated - wood-fired pizzas, charcuterie boards, and a few well-executed mains.

like windmills, geist suffers from the whitefield distance tax. but if you’re doing a whitefield brewery crawl (geist + windmills + red rhino), it’s a world-class beer day.

what to drink: wheat ale to start. the ipa if you want hops. ask about their limited-edition brews - geist does small batch experiments that are often brilliant.

verdict: best beer for serious craft beer enthusiasts. less famous than toit, better beer than most.

7. the biere library

koramangala / microbrewery / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

the biere library in koramangala is a slightly more accessible version of the microbrewery experience. the beers are solid (the wheat beer and the dark ale are the best), the food is above average, and the pricing is slightly lower than the premium breweries.

the space has a bookish theme (hence “library”) with exposed brick, bookshelves, and a cozy vibe. it’s less rowdy than toit, less corporate than biere club, and less of a trek than the whitefield breweries. the koramangala location means it’s walkable from multiple areas.

a good option for a tuesday evening beer when you don’t want the full toit experience.

what to drink: wheat beer and the dark ale. both consistently good.

verdict: best neighborhood brewery in koramangala. reliable, affordable, no drama.

the pubs and bars

not every good drinking spot in bangalore brews its own beer. these pubs, bars, and venues have their own appeal - whether it’s live music, cocktails, old-school charm, or just cheap drinks.

8. uru brewpark

hennur / microbrewery / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

uru is one of the newer additions to bangalore’s brewery scene and it’s already earned a following. located in hennur (north bangalore), it has a massive open-air space with a park-like setting. the beers are fresh and well-made - the witbier and the hefeweizen are both excellent.

the space includes a play area for kids, which makes it one of the few breweries where families are genuinely welcome during daytime hours. by evening, it transitions into a proper drinking venue.

if you’re in north bangalore (hebbal, yelahanka, hennur), uru is better than trekking south for toit.

what to drink: witbier and the hefeweizen. both are clean, refreshing, and perfect for the outdoor setting.

verdict: best brewery in north bangalore. the park setting adds something most breweries lack.

9. hoot cafe & brewery

indiranagar / brewery-pub / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 7.5/10

hoot is indiranagar’s multi-format venue - cafe by day, brewery by evening, and party spot by night. the house-brewed beers are decent (the wheat beer is the best), but they also stock commercial craft beers for variety.

the food menu is extensive - from breakfast items to bar snacks to full meals. the wood-fired pizza is good. the wings are reliable. the space is large with both indoor and outdoor sections.

hoot works best as a transition venue - start with brunch here, switch to beer by afternoon, and let the evening unfold. it doesn’t have toit’s beer quality, but it has more versatility.

what to drink: wheat beer on tap. if the house beers don’t excite you, they have a commercial craft beer menu with options from bira, white owl, and others.

verdict: best multi-purpose venue in indiranagar. not the best at anything, but good at everything.

10. plan b

indiranagar, 100 feet road / bar-pub / rs 200-300 per pint / rs 1200-1500 for two / 7.5/10

plan b is the pub you end up at when toit has a 45-minute wait. and honestly, that’s not a bad thing. the bar has a solid drink selection (commercial beers, basic cocktails, whiskey), the food is decent pub grub, and the vibe is relaxed.

the pricing is slightly lower than the microbreweries since they’re serving commercial beers. a pint of kingfisher or bira is rs 200-250. cocktails are rs 300-400. the chicken tikka and the butter chicken are surprisingly good for a pub.

plan b fills up on weekends but rarely has the queue that toit does. it’s the backup plan that often turns out to be a perfectly good primary plan.

what to drink: whatever’s on tap or a whiskey sour. the cocktails are basic but well-made.

verdict: best backup pub on 100 feet road. comfortable, affordable, zero pretension.

11. 1522 - the pub

koramangala / pub / rs 200-300 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

1522 is one of koramangala’s most popular pubs, and the reason is simple: it’s a good time. live music on weekends, a solid drink menu, food that’s better than it needs to be, and a crowd that’s there to have fun.

the cocktail menu is the highlight - inventive drinks with indian ingredients at rs 350-450 each. the beer selection covers commercial and craft options. the food menu has everything from sushi to burgers to indian mains, which is ambitious but they pull most of it off.

friday and saturday nights are packed with live bands covering everything from classic rock to bollywood. the energy is high and the volume is higher. not the place for a quiet conversation, but perfect for a night out.

what to drink: their signature cocktails. the old fashioned and the whiskey sour are both well-made. for beer, go with whatever craft option they have on tap.

verdict: best party pub in koramangala. come for the live music and the energy.

12. the humming tree

indiranagar / live music pub / rs 200-350 per drink / rs 1000-1400 for two / 8/10

the humming tree is bangalore’s best live music venue that also happens to be a pub. the focus is on the performances - indie bands, stand-up comedy, acoustic sessions, open mic nights. the bar and food exist to support the experience, not the other way around.

the drink menu is standard - commercial beers, basic cocktails, some whiskey options. nothing remarkable. the food is limited but functional. you’re not here for the drinks. you’re here because a band you follow is playing, or because you want to discover something new.

check their instagram or website for the schedule. cover charges vary from free to rs 500 depending on the act. some nights are genuinely incredible - the kind of intimate live music experience you can’t get at large venues.

what to drink: whatever’s cheap and cold. the music is the main course.

verdict: best live music pub in bangalore. the drinking is secondary to the performances, which is the point.

13. pecos

church street / old-school pub / rs 150-250 per pint / rs 800-1200 for two / 7.5/10

pecos is a bangalore institution. it’s been on church street since 1972 and the decor hasn’t changed much since. dark wood paneling, classic rock on the jukebox (yes, an actual jukebox), dim lighting, and the ghost of every rockstar who ever drank here.

the beer is commercial - kingfisher, haywards, tuborg. no craft beer, no cocktails, no pretension. a pitcher of kingfisher is rs 400-500. the food is standard pub fare - chicken items, fried snacks, nothing fancy. the steak is the legacy order, though reviews on its current quality are mixed.

pecos matters because it’s history. this is where bangalore’s pub culture started, decades before toit or arbor brewing existed. the crowd is eclectic - old-timers who’ve been coming since the 80s, college students on a budget, and tourists who read about it in a guidebook.

what to drink: a pitcher of kingfisher. embrace the old-school.

verdict: most historically important pub in bangalore. the beer is basic, the ambiance is priceless.

14. brewdog

koramangala / craft beer bar / rs 350-500 per pint / rs 1500-2000 for two / 7.5/10

the scottish craft beer brand has a koramangala outpost. they don’t brew on-site, but they stock their own brews (punk ipa, lost lager, hazy jane) plus guest taps from indian craft breweries. the ipa selection is the best of any single bar in bangalore.

the pricing is steep - rs 350-500 per pint, which is at the top end for bangalore. the food is good pub food - burgers, wings, loaded fries. the space is modern and clean with an industrial aesthetic.

come here if you’re an ipa person. the range of hop-forward beers on tap is genuinely impressive. skip it if you prefer wheat beers or lighter styles - brewdog’s dna is hops, hops, and more hops.

what to drink: punk ipa if you’ve never tried brewdog. hazy jane for a softer hop profile. ask about the guest taps.

verdict: best ipa selection in bangalore. premium pricing, premium hops.

15. bob’s bar

multiple locations / budget pub / rs 150-200 per pint / rs 800-1000 for two / 7/10

bob’s bar is the “honest pub” of bangalore. cheap beer (rs 150-200 per pint), decent food, no nonsense. it’s the pub you go to when you want to drink without the microbrewery markup.

the menu is simple - commercial beers, basic cocktails, whiskey, and vodka. the food covers the essentials - chicken wings, fried rice, noodles, some north indian items. nothing is exceptional but nothing is bad. the pricing is the point - two people can have 4-5 beers and food for under rs 1000.

multiple locations across the city mean there’s probably one near you. the quality is consistent across outlets. the crowd is young, casual, and there for the value.

what to drink: whatever’s cheapest on tap. this is a budget pub - lean into it.

verdict: cheapest proper pub in bangalore. for when you want beer without the craft beer premium.

---

cocktail bars

16. prohibition liquor bar

koramangala / cocktail bar / rs 400-600 per cocktail / rs 1500-2000 for two / 8/10

prohibition is a speakeasy-style cocktail bar with a 1920s theme. the entrance is hidden (deliberately), the lighting is dim, the music is jazz, and the cocktails are genuinely excellent. this isn’t a pub - it’s a proper cocktail bar where the bartenders know their craft.

the cocktail menu changes regularly but always features classics done well (old fashioned, negroni, manhattan) alongside creative house specials with indian ingredients - think kokum-infused gin, jaggery-washed bourbon, and curry leaf vodka.

cocktails run rs 400-600 each, which is steep for bangalore. but the quality of the drinks and the ambiance justify it for a special night out. the bar is small (maybe 40-50 seats) so reservations are recommended on weekends.

what to drink: their old fashioned is the benchmark drink. ask the bartender for a recommendation based on your preferences - they’re knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

verdict: best cocktail bar in bangalore. come here when you want a proper drink, not just a beer.

17. prost brew pub

koramangala / microbrewery / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 7.5/10

prost takes the german beer hall concept and adapts it for bangalore. the beers are german-influenced - hefeweizen, dunkelweizen, pilsner, and a decent bock. the food menu has german items like sausages and pretzels alongside standard pub fare.

the space has long communal tables (very beer hall) and the vibe is energetic on weekends. the hefeweizen is the best brew here - properly cloudy, banana notes, and refreshing. the pilsner is clean and crisp. the darker beers are decent but not as strong as windmills or geist.

what to drink: hefeweizen. it’s the safest and best bet at prost.

verdict: best german-style brewery in bangalore. the communal tables make it great for groups.

18. big pitcher

multiple locations / microbrewery / rs 200-300 per pint / rs 1000-1400 for two / 7/10

big pitcher is the most affordable microbrewery chain in bangalore. the beer is decent (not amazing), the food is okay, and the prices are lower than the premium breweries. it’s the gateway microbrewery for people who are used to kingfisher and want to try craft beer without spending rs 350 per pint.

the wheat beer and the lager are the best options. the darker beers are hit-or-miss. the food menu is large and covers everything, which usually means nothing is outstanding. stick to the pizzas and wings.

multiple locations across the city. the quality varies slightly but the pricing is consistent.

what to drink: wheat beer. keep expectations at “good value” rather than “amazing beer.”

verdict: cheapest microbrewery in bangalore. great first step into craft beer.

19. red rhino

whitefield / microbrewery / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1400-1800 for two / 7.5/10

red rhino is part of the whitefield brewery trio (along with windmills and geist). the beers are good - the pale ale and the stout are the strongest. the space is massive with indoor and outdoor seating, a live kitchen, and regular live music.

the food is better than average for a brewery. the grills and the wood-fired items are the strongest sections. the weekend brunch is popular with the whitefield tech crowd.

if you’re doing a whitefield brewery day, red rhino fits naturally between windmills and geist.

what to drink: pale ale and the stout. the lighter beers are less distinctive.

verdict: a strong addition to whitefield’s brewery scene. best experienced as part of a whitefield crawl.

20. district 6

koramangala / pub-lounge / rs 250-350 per pint / rs 1200-1600 for two / 7/10

district 6 is a koramangala pub-lounge that draws a young, energetic crowd. the drink menu covers beers, cocktails, and shots. the food is pan-asian and continental. the vibe transitions from casual dining to party mode as the night progresses.

the cocktails (rs 350-450) are decent. the beer selection is commercial plus a few craft options. the food - especially the asian items like dim sum and pad thai - is surprisingly good for a pub. dj nights on weekends make it one of the louder options in koramangala.

what to drink: their cocktails are better than their beer. try the signature section of the cocktail menu.

verdict: best for a koramangala night out when you want food, drinks, and eventual dancing.
