Beyond The Tipple: Bars In Bangalore To Hit Up For Their Activities

Beyond The Tipple: Bars In Bangalore To Hit Up For Their Activities

Planning a night out with your gang? Sure, the city has an impressive number of bars and pubs to head to. But, if you’re hoping to go beyond the regular karaoke and gigs, and want something more fun, there are a bunch of places you can bookmark. From pub quizzes to art workshops and binge-watching TV shows, there’s plenty to look out for at our pick of bars with fun activities.

 

Vapour_LBB Bangalore_Hauterfly

Vapour

While Vapour has match screenings, tribute gigs and lively music, we love their Cluesday editions — a pub quiz to liven up your Tuesday evenings. With its standards set quite high, the event is apparently a favourite among regular patrons at the bar. While it’s mostly a general knowledge quiz (hosted by different people each week), the topics covered could be anything from movies and music to current affairs. And, what’s more, the bill for the winning table is on the house!

When: Tuesdays, 9pm onward
Where: Vapour, 773, HAL 2nd Stage, 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar

Indigo Live

What’s better than the great gigs (including ones by international bands) and karaoke nights that Indigo hosts? Their binge-watch sessions! Happening once every month, you get 5 whole hours of binging on back-to-back episodes of a specific TV show, complete with themed food, drinks and activities. They have already had two events for the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and another screening of The Big Bang Theory episodes. We’re also hoping they bring back their pub quiz series – Riddler on the Roof – very soon.

Where: 71/72, Jyoti Nivas College Road, 6th Block, Industrial Layout, Koramangala
