40 Best Live Music Pubs in Bangalore (2026)

Updated · 40 pubs, each linked to its full profile

Live music pubs in Bangalore host bands, acoustic acts or resident musicians on a regular schedule, rather than a DJ playing over the bar. Bangalore has a long-running rock and indie scene, and the best rooms here still book weekly gigs, typically starting between 8 and 9 PM.

The ranking uses Google rating weighted by review volume, so a well-reviewed venue with thousands of ratings outranks a new one with a dozen. Only pubs with live music on record are included, and the list refreshes with our pub data.

All 40 are rated 4.3 or higher. Of the 40 here, the most are in Electronic City (3), Marathahalli (3) and Whitefield (3). 29 of the 40 with hours on record stay open until 12:30 AM or later on at least one night.

How many live music pubs are there in Bangalore?
There are 40 pubs with live music in Bangalore on this list. Each links to a page with hours, address, current ratings and the cost for two where we have it on record.
Which nights have live music?
It varies by venue. Weekends are the safest bet and many pubs run a mid-week gig too; check the pub's page and its social channels for the week's line-up, since schedules change with bookings.
