Bangalore · Curated list
Updated · 6 pubs, each linked to its full profile
These six bars were picked from recent Google reviews that mention dates, anniversaries, quiet rooms and cosy or dimly lit settings. Loud, DJ-led venues were left out, so this is a short list of couple friendly cocktail bars rather than a ranking of the city's biggest pubs; the last pick is the bigger, livelier one. Indiranagar and Ashok Nagar hold five of the six, which makes them the easiest date spots to plan an evening around.
Ratings and opening hours on each entry come from our venue data and can lag a change at the bar. Several of these bars are small, so confirm hours and book ahead before you go.
This is our shortlist. For every option, with hours, prices and filters, see all 1,397 pubs in Bangalore.
