Anyone who enjoys drinking has their favourite neighbourhood bar that they frequent more than anywhere else and in a city like Bengaluru every nook or cranny is filled with a funky watering hole. For tipplers residing in Koramangala or HSR, that place is TBC Sky Lounge. The bar is a calm oasis within the concrete jungle all aglow with lights. It offers a hell of a view to its punters and is a fantastic place to kick off those heels, grab a cocktail and simply unwind with friends after a gruelling day at work. TBC Sky Lounge attracts pub-crawlers with its lovely ambience, giving them a trendy backdrop to hang out after hours. Bar is located on rooftop of Astra Hotel, 27th Main, Sector 1, HSR in Bengaluru.

Snag a table near to the edge of the roof to attain a great view of the city before ordering yourself couple of drinks off their very impressive bar menu. You will notice usual suspects like beer, vodka, wine, gin etc in the selection so choose whatever you fancy, variety is quite good. Give the bartender a chance to show off his mixing skills by sampling a signature cocktail. To help you last for next few hours, munch on small plates. Their food menu is eclectic and multi-cuisine, trotting all over the globe. Baida roti bites, bruschetta, bbq chicken wings and coconut fried fish are easy choices. However, those who desire something substantial should binge on, steak sandwich, stir fried vegetables with almonds, pork ribs and shishtaouk.

Coorgi pandi curry with a khameeri roti is another fulfilling option. Before heading back home do find room for a delectable dessert. Ragi manne or elaneer payasam are safe regional delicacies. Bill would lean on the hefty side so be prepared. The fun yet relaxing ambience offered at TBC Sky Lounge draws a continuous horde of diners. The roof is swallowed by a huge conservatory that is filled with lush tropical plants and colourful furniture for you to sit and relax in. The open-aired section is taken up by long community style tables and candy-hued chairs. The effect is charming, informal and inviting. Couples looking for a place for date night can head here.
