So enjoy the weather with a cocktail (or five), with our list of rooftop bars you absolutely have to check out!
High Ultra Lounge
The third High-est (see what we did there) rooftop bar in the whole country needs no introduction! Here you will find their signature herb infused cocktails and a Korean/Japanese spread. Outdoors, be prepared to be wow-ed because it includes a glass shaded open air dining area and an open air seating area, which overlooks the city lights.
We recommend: Salmon Avocado Roll with Tenkasu and Kizami + the Banoffee Pie.

Average price for 2 people: Rs. 2,600

Location: Indiranagar
Average price for 2 people: Rs. 2,500

We recommend: Thin crust pizzas, Barleyz stout and Barleyz lager.
Location: Koramangala
Average price for 2 people: Rs 1,500

Bang, Ritz Carlton Bangalore
This luxury rooftop bar is a personal favourite because of the amazing panoramic view of the city and the decor. Follow the funky lit up pathway to their central fire pit, which is surrounded by a pavilion. However, it is super pricey; it is the Ritz after all!
We recommend: Sunday sundowners with Dj Ivan.
Location: Residency Road
Average price for 2 people: Rs. 3,500

Puma Social Club
What can be better than Indiranagar from a stunning viewing deck and lounge area (for a more private affair). Plus it’s an awesome place to enjoy some insane music around the main circular bar in the centre or some good ol’ football screenings.
We recommend: Thai curry and the Arsenal experience.
Location: Indiranagar
Average price for 2 people: Rs. 2,000

We recommend: Check out their famous Sunday sundowners after brunch.

Indigo Live – Music Bar & Terrace
A fun place to hang out with an aerial view of Bangalore that features an island ice bar. They are known for their music gigs, so after you’re done enjoying that view, you have an option to head on downstairs for new performances throughout the week!
