FBAI Drinks Bar Crawl – Bangalore Edition

~ grubitizer ~ Leave a comment

We’re all familiar with concepts like food walk, pub crawl and so on, and it has been long since I was part of any such event. I guess the last one was Food Walk at UB City where we covered close to 6 restaurants in two days. FBAI Drinks Pub Crawl was my first Pub crawl event (yes am serious 😀 ) thanks to Sameer and Salloni – founders of FBAI who along with Roshan from Aspri Spirits and Mitali from Morning Fresh for pulling this one out so well! The location was set to Indiranagar’s 12th Main area and it is one of those streets in Bangalore where you can probably find pubs at every 10 meters. The idea was simple – cover three pubs, grab a unique drink at each one of them, top it up with a magic potion that’ll cure your hangover, socialise with fellow bloggers and yeah, eat some great food on the go!

Happy First Birthday – Biergarten

~ grubitizer ~ Leave a comment

Biergarten was on my wish list for a long time, but having stayed in Koramangala I always had a weird perception that why travel to Whitefield when we have better options here. I still remember going through few posts when the place was launched and the entire landscape part looked so much different than other watering holes in the city, my mind was set on the fact that next time we are in Whitefield and decide to go drinking it is going to be at Biergarten, but then time passed by so quickly that one year went by and I never got a chance to go here 😦 What brought me here was an invite to be a part of their 1st-year-anniversary celebrations and that’s what this post is going to talk about!

Big Pitcher – Splitwood and Star Lounge

~ grubitizer ~ Leave a comment

Big Pitcher is a structural beauty, what you get is six massive floors that covers everything from the cowboy theme to Star Lounge seating options, this place has got it all. Massive array of Food and Beverage options combined with superb hospitality and awestruck ambience makes Big Pitcher the most sought after destination for all of your gastronomy needs. I was here on two occasions, one for the new menu tasting at Splitwood and second visit was to get a feel of the uber cool roof top section called Star Lounge. Splitwood offers a rustic feel which is perfect for a nice laid back drinking session. Star Lounge, on the other hand, is that cool person who likes to party and enjoys getting sloshed with a hookah pipe in his hands, the kind of place I would prefer to be in on a Friday night.
