Big Pitcher

You will wonder how to define this place. Will you call it a brewery or a restaurant? I think we should call ‘Big Pitcher’ both. Located at Old Airport Road, East Bengaluru, this is unlike any other brewery I have seen before with its earthy design and superb ambience. The al fresco seating gets a huge attention from the visiting punters who absolutely adore the very savvy open bar all lighted up at night. The indoor seating areas are made out of bamboos so it lends a very unique look to the brewery. Tones of beige and golden brown are used in the entire restaurant and looks pretty good. The restaurant has a gaming section so you can guess how big a hit it must be with the guys. They have tried to make the gaming section look more appealing by adding tech lights and it works. From time to time the restaurant keeps on hosting live gigs and stand-up comedy nights that pull in a lot of crowd.
