Everything was fine until I heard a pathetically cheesy announcement, 'Sahib Sindh Sultan express ab platform number 2 se jaane waali hai...' grrr

Okay, second comment about the same place. Wine is too pricey, and you can spend as much to get a glass of wine in Taj.

Game Centre , Bowling
22 , Church Street , Bangalore
Went there over the weekend... The sports bar really looks like it was made to cater the audiences 20 years ago. With new XBoxes and PSs and WIIs coming in market... their computer games look paleolithic. The ice hockey tables are very old and need to be replaced. Also, these guys have increased their prices a lot in past 2 years and now each game costs you a minimum of 20 bucks (and it lasts for about 2-20 seconds).
The bowling alley is good, and probably the best in India, they music is very loud... and you get a feeling that they desperately need a bar.

All is fine with this supermarket, except for the fact that they have awful billing system. You will have to wait for 15 minutes no matter what you want to buy from this place. If plenty of people are shopping, then wait in the queue. If you are the only one shopping, then they make sure that no one is there at the billing counter as well.

Kind of like an all men pub... If you go there as a couple, your girl is definitely not going to be thrilled :)

Restaurant
48,Terminus Residency, 5th Block, Industrial Estate , Koramangala , Bangalore
Been here a couple of times and was thoroughly disappointed. The prices are high, the waiters are rude, and the food is useless. They don't have a bar license but still have an elaborate drinks menu (if you ask for a kingfisher beer, it will be billed as mango fantasy or something). Overall a place to completely skip as you have much better options nearby!

Chicken biryani is also good, and these guys are fast. One of my favorite fast food joints in Indira nagar.

For 3 years I had been ordering pizzas from this place at least once a week. (Reason: They helped me finish my food coupons faster, and the pizzas were okay-ish). But now as they have stupidly stopped accepting accor/sodex ho coupons, it's all over as far as I'm concerned. Pizza hut anyone?

Ice cream Shop
80 Feet Road , Koramangala , Bangalore
Nice little place to have ice creams on 80 ft road. Get your ice cream, and get on the road, because the place is a little stuffy. The ice creams are great, but then you gotta pay for the 'Baskin Robbins' brand :)

Dhingri methi matar... these guys make it so well, that you won't try it anywhere else in Bangalore. Although it's more known for it's non-veg food, the veg food is quite good as well. I don't quite like the ambiance here on weekends, too stuffy! And yeah, don't have the paan here for 50 bucks, just get out of carlton towers, and you will find a paanwala right outside :P

Restaurant
4005, 100 Feet Road , HAL 2nd Stage , Bangalore
Excellent food, great location and costly place :) They serve buffet during evening time, but the barbeque starters they keep serving on the table (unless you stop them) are so filling, that you won't feel the need to get up for the main course!

Restaurant
#1135 13th Cross 100 Feet Road , Indira Nagar , Bangalore
Nice little place, with only vegetarian italian food(kinda weird :P), lots of wine, and amazing thin pizzas. A little costly, but then that's the price you have to pay for the pretty ambiance and delicious food. Try bruschetta and garlic bread as starters, with a glass of sparkling wine (oops, they serve sparkling wine only by bottle!).

One of the very few places in koramangala for cheap liquor. The ambiance is nice, but the live bands which play there are pathetic.

Restaurant
20, Raheja Arcade , Koramangala 7th Block , Bangalore
Nice north indian food here. But then it's very crowded and don't even book a table on phone.
And yeah, you get 12% discount if you take away the food.

Bar & Pub
905, 3rd Cross, 80 Feet Road , Koramangala 6th Block , Bangalore
Nice pub! They play only old age rock (pre-95 era), so no linkin' park playing here. It has three floor seating, with the ambience getting less noisier with each floor. If you gotta have a conversation, go to the terrace straightaway.. Food is not it's strength, but it's music is... if you're into rock totally :)

Shopping Mall , Commercial Areas
Hosur Main Road , Koramangala , Bangalore
The place is not as bad as birla commented :) On weekends, yeah... it's like a typical 'mela' out there, but otherwise the mall is well spread out (unlike Garuda), has a good parking lot and showrooms for the best brands.
The mall is wi-fi enabled, so you can just sit on the stairs and work(!) if you have to wait for someone.
Also, if you switch on your bluetooth, you'll get messages about which showrooms have sales and offers going on.

Restaurant
442, 9th Avenue, 2nd Cross, 9th Main, HAL 2nd Stage , Indira Nagar , Bangalore
We tried these guys as caterers for our office. Really monotonous and tasteless food, which was less in quantity as well!
But otherwise an affordable place to eat, and you could go there once in a while for en evening snack.

Well, now that dancing is banned in Bangalore discs/clubs, all the more reason to skip Fuga altogether.

Bar & Pub
The Forum Mall, 2nd Floor, Hosur Road , Koramangala , Bangalore
It's good to have a place in forum where you can drink as well as smoke :) The food is good, and the ambience nice. On Sundays they have karaoke nights, so beware of the noises that you might have to hear if you go there then :p
Otherwise a good place to take your date, after you drop dead shopping in the Forum mall.

Restaurant
1, Raheja Arcade , Koramangala , Bangalore
Nice food, but very costly. Also that it's quite cramped, the tables are too close to each other for comfort. But yeah, if you have a date in the evening, go right ahead... the ambience might just suit you fine.

Nice place, good food. And unlike Vineet, I think the service wasn't slow as well :)

The only real nice pub (dunno whether it's appropriate to call it a pub) near Indiranagar. Beautiful ambience, nice liquor, happy hours till 8 pm, and alright music.

Restaurant
#1135 13th Cross 100 Feet Road , Indira Nagar , Bangalore
I hate the place because they serve only veg food. Hate their thin pizzas and some of them or not loaded with cheese and are crispy. The only issue is that the road is so crowded and becomes very noisy if you sit outside.

Isn't this barista more expensive than other baristas?

I am actually one of those who like the movie experience@ INOX than that at PVR. The costs may be too high, but you can get one ticket free with one on thursdays with your manhattan credit card. My rating 5 out of 5!

Fanoos! The smell there makes me puke, and guess what, it smells even when you happen to walk the nearby road. :-/
Have been there twice, and I swear by god, I'm never going there again!

Bar & Pub
The Taj West End, 25 , Race Course Road , Bangalore

Arguably the best pub in bangalore, and probably amongst the costliest as well. Have an incidence to share when I went there for the first time... We had to pay cover charge of 1500/- to get in (and the doors opened to Blue bar, as well as Ginger restaurant). By the way, they let in only couples/family. We decided to spend the evening at ginger, and after a hefty bill of 3500/- the waitor refused to take the 1500/- coupons (of cover charge)!
So folks, when you get in Taj, remember that it's blue bar where you have to encash your coupons :)

Well, the ambiance, the food, the drinks they serve are just great! The stewards are so smart (and intimidating, hehe). But overall a very nice place to be, 4 out of 5 stars from me!

#1 Museum Inn Off MG Road , Museum Road , Bangalore
Nice place to have chinese food... ambiance could have been better. It's costlier than most other chinese restaurant@ church street though.
Agree with Renjith... vegetarians don't like this place much. But then, veggies only like pure veg restaurants :) 4 out of 5 stars from me!

Nightclub
10th Floor, Prestige Towers , Residency Road , Bangalore

This place absolutely ROCKS on wednesday (bollywood) nights! DJ Hussain plays some great foot tapping hindi/punjabi numbers, unlike the hip-hop/house combo in most other discs. The place is located on the 10th floor, and with the cool breeze blowing near the bar, you just can't help dancing :) And some film stars also visit this place when they come to bangalore... Shamita Shetty is coming next monday

Food:: Average
Drinks::Costly (naturally)
Crowd::Decent
Music::Hindi/Punjabi on wednesdays, house on other days
Ambience::Nice, pleasant

Taika used to be good, and that was like 2 years back, but since it has renovated, I don't find the same energy or the same crowd there anymore. They don't even have the cover charge anymore now which you could redeem once you're in, but an entry fee of 200/- (on weekends it's 300/-).I was never too fond of the music there... The only saving grace is it's awesome chicken kebabs :)

A watchable weekend flick!
I'd rather watch a dog barking at a tree than watch this movie again.

Brace yourself and indulge in the taste of North India.
Nice and informative :) Pretty much my own list as well!
October 13, 2007
A weekend treat indeed!
Oh come on! This movie sucks to the core..."Laaga Chunari Mein Daag," is the kind of movie that if it were made 30 years back, you'd still think that it's regressive. Pathetic story, pathetic acting, and bad storytelling. 0 out of 5 absolutely, and I wish I could give it a worse review. Rani Mukherjee has forgotten how to act!

For a midnight snack, head to Fanoos near Johnson Market!
Fanoos! The smell there makes me puke, and guess what, it smells even when you happen to walk the nearby road. :-/ Have been there twice, and I swear by god, I'm never going there again!
The hygiene out here is pathetic!

Try the CCD (mysore road). It's about 80km from here, but the drive and the coffee is totally worth it!

Nice article... Sancy's laundrette charges 30/- per kg, pretty cheap by Bangalore's standards!
