Cosmos Mall, Brookefields, Whitefield, Bangalore
Average
For Guys Only Kinda Place
Just came back from a buffet lunch here.
They have a mini cricket thing (a machine spits out a tennis ball and you can hit it with a bat within a net) they also have basketball hoops, snooker and darts.
The outdoor area looks very inviting.
Apart from that, the service is below average.
The weekend buffet is priced at 168 all inclusive. A glass of sparkling wine is included in the buffet. There were no starters. One soup, two salads, pappads, some veg in curd, three veg gravies, roti, kulcha, jeera rice, noodles, some chineese gravy thing, two non veg dishes and one dessert.
Although this sounds very good, after the buffet, we were not satisfied. The food is bland. Asking the waiter to clear the plates every time we got up, asking for water.....not efficient.
If you are in the area viz Brookefield, Marathhalli etc you can pay a visit here. Make sure you redeem the parking amount at any shop if your total bill crosses Rs.50.

Palace Cross Road, Near Windsor Manor Bridge, Seshadripuram, Bangalore
Good
GO(A)cross the wall
Thats the punchline of this place.
After enjoying several rounds of beer at Tavern at the Inn, we were in the mood for pub hopping. So at 10:45 in the night, we were on the way to Dublin at Windsor Manor, but at the last moment, we decided to check out Opus.
At the reception we were told they are having a DJ night and the entrance costs Rs.350 per head. But one of the friends in our group is a regular here so they said we can pay Rs.110 per head.
There is a live open kitchen which is wonderful to watch. The ambience is quite different than any other place I have been to as rarely do we find such vast space on a ground floor in Bangalore. The walls are all white, the seating area has tables near the walls and there is a large opening where gravel stones make the floor and leather cushion strips make the seating with stone tables placed a few inches above the ground. We sat with our legs stretched. And the waiter, dressed like a sailor, bought the menu, which is a paper cube wrapped around a candle inside a glass. Pretty neat and looks good too. We settled for two pints of KF and two plates of rice and Goan veg curry. The curry was really good.
The DJ was spinning some foot tapping numbers and without realizing we were bobbing our heads to the beat. Some fellows were attempting a dance wherever they were.
The music promptly stopped at 11.30 PM and we paid the bill and left.
Definitely coming back for a long evening of drinks and Goan cuisine.

Museum Inn, 1 Museum Road, MG Road, Museum Road, Bangalore
Good
Oh Yeah!
The Tavern is located on the first floor of Museum Inn. You have to take the stairs located next to the elevator. Tall humans, mind your head as the ceiling in the passage and within the pub is low.
As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is the bar counter. The lighting is golden dim. There are a few LCD televisions mounted on the wall, usually showing sports. Cozy sofas good enough for 6 people are attached to wall, kinda giving you a private space. There is also an upper deck away from the brouhaha. We were seated at the tables midway from the bar counter and the sofas. These tables are unique in that the high chairs and table are rigged to the floor and give you a unique experience.
The crowd is decent and mature, minding their own business and of course, a glance here and there! I read somewhere that they serve spitfire beer, but the waiter had no idea what it was. So we settled for KF pitcher. And to nibble, we ordered a peanut masala, French Fries (the best I have ever had in my life), and a lamb starter. By 9 PM, the atmosphere became lively and the pub was filled to its brim. So much so that the waiter could give us two spoons for the peanut masala when were four of us. He said they have only 50 spoons and there are more than 100 people in the pub now.
Anyways, we were enjoying the football match with rock music from the nineties in the background.
I will be definitely going back here to enjoy the beer with french fries. Prices are on the upper bracket, (Pitcher of beer is Rs.450, a lamb starter is Rs.300).
Definitely worth a visit for anyone who drinks!

46 Millers Road, Vasanthnagar, Bangalore
Good
Genuinely Good
Me and two friends usually visit a Pub /Bar /Restaurant every Saturday. Our agenda will be guzzling some beers, try a few starters and have a conversation about everything under the Sun.
This time, we visited Millers 46. The neon sign board is just like in movies....those Diners in USA.
The restaurant on the first floor provides around 10 Tables with varied seating capacities. The food menu is unique. Hard to describe it, but its kinda like those swinging half doors in saloons we see in many cowboy movies. The beverage menu is practically a cowboy leather hat.
Trust me when I say that any Non-Vegetarian will have a whale of a time here. The variety of Non-Veg options is really good. But since the three of us were vegetarians, we simply requested the polite yet efficient waiter to suggest some vegetarian dishes to go with the stout beers. We specifically asked if they have peanut masala, any manchurian....he categorically replied that they don't serve Chinese stuff. Instead he bought us Cashew masala (customized with onions, chillies on our request!)
They served a complimentary bread basket (which was comfortingly warm) along with a peppered butter dip. The beer is served in nice glasses. While we were sipping the booze, slowly the crowd started trickling in (at 7.30 PM). Majority of them were Foreigners who, I am sure, came here for some authentic Steaks and Sizzlers.
We had Mushroom with cheese, Cashew Masala, veg sizzler, one more complimentary bread basket. The food is spicy enough for the Non-Indian Palate. Its not in your face hara-khari spicy stuff. They have special dishes for the kids too! We also saw a chef doing the rounds talking to guests and since we were so engrossed in our conversation, we had to ask the chef to check if we had ordered anything! When we paid the bill and left, we saw a sizable crowd waiting outside and pleasantly, the waiter had not asked us to clear the table even though we had consumed what we had ordered (which is the case in many restaurants). So the experience was comforting.
Sample prices: Haywards Black Stout Beer (330ml) - 105 Rs.
Kingfisher Premium Beer (330ml) - 120 Rs.
Guinness (440ml) - 320 Rs.
The beverage menu is exhaustive with many concoctions and also I believe they have a wine menu.
I will certainly be back here, although, being a veg, I may not be a regular. Strongly recommend everyone to visit at-least once.
