40 Best Cocktail Bars in Bangalore (2026)

Updated · 40 pubs, each linked to its full profile

A cocktail bar in Bangalore is built around the bar rather than the kitchen: a written drinks list, bartenders who batch and infuse their own ingredients, and a room small enough that you order from the person who made the drink. Bangalore's craft-cocktail scene is roughly a decade old and still concentrated in Indiranagar and around MG Road, where a properly made drink runs ₹600 to ₹900 before tax.

This list ranks every cocktail bar we track in Bangalore by Google rating, weighted by review volume, so a 4.5 built on two thousand reviews outranks a 4.8 on forty. Ratings, hours and addresses come straight from each pub's record, with cost for two where we have it, and refresh whenever our data does.

At a glance

The top 3: Just BLR (Brigade Road, 4.7★ from 21,873 reviews), SOMRAS BAR & KITCHEN (HSR Layout, 4.7★ from 1,283 reviews) and Oyster, Bar & Kitchen (HSR Layout, 4.6★ from 7,701 reviews).

35 of the 40 are rated 4.3 or higher. Of the 40 here, the most are in Indiranagar (5), Koramangala (4) and Brigade Road (3). 31 of the 39 with hours on record stay open until 12:30 AM or later on at least one night. Cost for two runs from ₹1,600 to ₹3,500 across the 4 that list a price.

Frequently asked

How many cocktail bars are there in Bangalore?
We currently list 40 operational cocktail bars in Bangalore. Each entry links to a full page with opening hours, address, the latest ratings and the cost for two where we have it on record.
What time do cocktail bars in Bangalore close?
Last orders come around 12:30 AM and the doors shut by 1 AM, the standard cut-off across Bangalore. Bars inside hotels occasionally hold a later licence; go by the hours on each pub's page rather than the city norm.
Is there a cover charge at cocktail bars?
Rarely. Entry is normally free and you pay for what you drink, though a few of the busier rooms apply a redeemable minimum spend on Friday and Saturday nights. The smaller bars seat thirty people or fewer, so a reservation is worth more than an early arrival.
