Working in Bangalore has a very distinct way of making you miss simpler times. You spend your entire week staring at a laptop screen inside a massive glass building along the Outer Ring Road. You spend your mornings and evenings navigating the absolute nightmare that is the Silk Board traffic junction, and you deal with endless project delays that push your deadlines later and later into the evening. By the time Friday finally rolls around, you are completely mentally drained. You want to disconnect from the corporate world and just go back to a time when your absolute biggest stress in life was missing your favorite cartoon on television after school. When you head out looking for great cocktails in bangalore, you usually end up squeezed into a loud, crowded lounge that feels just as stressful and claustrophobic as your office. You end up shouting over the music just to hear the person sitting right next to you. We wanted to change that completely at Biergarten.
The Evolution of the Space
People usually think of a massive brewery in bangalore as a place strictly dedicated to fresh lagers, hoppy IPAs, and heavy wheat beers. While our massive brewing tanks are always full and the taps are always flowing with fresh pints, we know that local group dynamics have changed significantly over the last few years. When you bring your friends or your colleagues out for the evening, not everyone wants to drink a heavy pint of beer. A large portion of the crowd is actively seeking out high quality craft cocktails to unwind after a brutal week. We realized that to keep our communal tables full and happy, we needed to create a space that delivers the exact same level of intense creativity and craftsmanship in a shaker that we put into our brewing process. We wanted our bar staff to have just as much fun as our brewers.
Childhood, But Make It A Cocktail
For our huge ten year anniversary celebration, our bar team decided to completely ignore the standard corporate rulebook. We wanted to build a cocktail menu that actually tells a highly specific local story and makes people smile the absolute second they read the ingredients. We started talking about the exact flavors we all grew up with in this country. We talked about the spicy snacks you ate while hiding from the heavy monsoon rain, the local sweets your family brought home during major festivals, and the malted milk drinks your mother forced you to finish before you ran out to the school bus. We took all that pure, unfiltered nostalgia and mixed it directly into our completely new lineup of signature cocktails. We wanted to serve childhood memories in a glass, just updated for an adult night out.
The Throwback Lineup
Let us walk you through exactly what our bar team has been mixing up behind the counter. These drinks are completely unique to our spaces.
- Hot Maggi and Sweet Picante: This sounds like absolute madness until you take your very first sip. We took clean, premium tequila and infused it with actual Maggi masala, adding fresh tomato, sharp chilli, and a bright hit of citrus to balance it out. It completely captures that exact cozy feeling of eating a hot, spicy bowl of instant noodles during a heavy Bangalore downpour, but gives it a totally unexpected and highly complex adult kick.
- Clear Rasmalai: If you absolutely love traditional local sweets, this drink will completely blow your mind. We took smooth vodka and blended it seamlessly with saffron, cardamom, almond, and pistachio. Through a careful clarification process, it delivers all the rich, aromatic comfort of the actual heavy milk dessert, but remains completely clear and incredibly light on the palate. You get all the flavor without any of the heavy dairy density.
- Old Bournvita Fashioned: We love taking classic cocktails and giving them a deeply personal, local twist. We took premium whisky and infused it with actual Bournvita powder, raw cacao, and gentle bitters. It is a deep, malty, and incredibly chocolatey creation that instantly brings back memories of rushing through your morning breakfast routine. It turns a childhood staple into a deeply sophisticated slow sipper perfect for a late Saturday evening.
Food That Fits The Vibe
If you are drinking something this creative and flavorful, you absolutely cannot just pair it with a boring plate of plain french fries or standard bar peanuts. The unique spices and sweet aromatic notes in these cocktails require food that hits just as hard and carries just as much local character.
Our kitchen team works tirelessly to balance deeply familiar regional comforts with massive, shareable global flavors. If you are ordering the sweet and aromatic Clear Rasmalai, it acts as the ultimate cooling agent against the rich, smoky flavors of our massive tandoori platters, which are built entirely for sharing with a large group. The spicy, savory kick of the Maggi infused drink pairs flawlessly with our incredibly fiery, coastal Mangalorean style curries. We also serve highly authentic house made German sausages, fresh hand rolled pastas, and crispy bar bites that complement whatever you choose to order. Because our kitchen covers so much ground, you can easily view our complete food and drink selection online to plan out your massive table spread before you even leave your apartment.
Not Your Average Setup
Finding a dedicated cocktail bar that actually has enough room for your entire office team to sit down is notoriously difficult in this city. Most of these places are dark, tiny, and incredibly cramped, completely lacking any natural airflow. Our expansive, plant filled backyard environments in Whitefield, Koramangala, Manyata, and Bellandur ensure that your colleagues are never stuck indoors. We built these spaces with massive wooden tables and open air structures so you can actually feel the evening breeze while you drink.
If your team needs to escape the tech park and genuinely connect over some highly creative drinks, we handle all the heavy lifting. You can easily review our custom corporate packages online. We take care of the entire seating layout and coordinate the massive food platters so you can just show up and actually enjoy the evening with your coworkers without worrying about splitting a massive bill twenty different ways at the end of the night.
Come Try The Menu
Hitting double digits in this city is a massive milestone for us, and this specific cocktail menu is our very own way of celebrating the local culture and the exact people who built us. Whether you want to try the Bournvita mix for yourself, share a laugh over the Maggi drink, or just want a massive open space to catch up with old friends, our wooden tables are ready and waiting for you. We keep the doors open from Monday to Friday between 12 PM and 12 AM, and we extend the weekend hours on Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM to 1 AM to keep the energy going.
Since our outdoor sections are highly popular and fill up incredibly fast when the afternoon weather cools down, using our reservations link to secure your spot is always the absolute smartest move. Step out of the relentless city rush, pull up a chair under the trees, and stay a while.
