While enjoying a lively weekend in Bengaluru, we realised that the city is amazing when it comes to its nightlife. The fast pulse keeps the energy high, pushing the party-goers towards the cluster of bars crawling all over the city. Browse through the long list of bars scattered all over the city and choose what the best fit seems to you. There is a bar for every mood, no matter you want to laze around nursing your beer or suit up for a nice romantic date. If you fall in the latter category, pick ‘Alt’, a stunning lounge located in hip bar-heavy district of Whitefield. This is said to be one of the finest bars in Bengaluru and for good reason. The ambience alone will take your breath away. A truly spectacular place.

Alt blows your mind away with not only its ambience but also through its exquisite menus. Both bar and food menu are cleverly crafted to encompass the best of Bengaluru has to offer. Bar menu is an exciting one, opening up with an array of signature concoctions to dazzle your senses. Tagged under fascinating names like Napoli Bonaparte, Mayan Tripper, Wot la and La Passio’n, the menu forays further into a wide selection of single malts, scotch, bourbon, cognac, whisky, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, beer and wines. Pair the drink with some eclectic appetizers such as, lotus khalifa, ebi gyoza, duck cigarello, smoked yam & red bean galouti, trush-e-chula, greneda hot ribs and halibut yakitori. Feast further on, paillard’s thermidor, blackened pickled pork belly, filet de boeuf, hawksmoor steak, Palermo barrio shoulder and kolapuri soolay tinka.

Food menu is dominated by the munchies to give drinks company. We assure you won’t go back home hungry. Although small bites only, food at Alt is fantastic. Their dishes are bold and innovative which keeps diners on their toes. Now let’s talk about Alt’s ambience. Did we mention Alt is sprawled on a gorgeous rooftop centred by a lovely pool? Well, it is. Its placement is extraordinary, made even more so by the string of gazebos encircling the pool. The best time to go to Alt would be in the evenings when the whole roof comes alight with several LED lights. Perky live gigs once in a while keeps the mood high. A wonderful place to party and not too expensive either.
