Updated · 8 pubs, each linked to its full profile

Live music pubs in HSR Layout 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.
