I'm going to bangalore this week to present a paper in a conference and will be there till sunday. I wanted to know which are the best pubs to hang out in.

I only care about the music and the crowd. Hard rock, alt rock, metal works for me.

So b'lore peeps care to tell me which pubs/cafes i should go to with my friend? I'm looking for something like Cafe Morrison and Turqoise Cottage in Delhi.

I have heard abt Styx and Purple Haze in Bangalore.

^^Styx has gone to the dogs. Stay away! PH used to be awesome once upon a time but the only folks these days that land up there are gh3ys. Unfortunate but true.

Hard Rock Cafe is newly opened and decent. However its quite heavy on your wallet. If you haven't been to an HRC before, its definitely worth a visit. The other place I quite like is Opus. However they play more classic rock than metal. Most of the "crowd" these days go to the trance pubs/lounges like Fuga/Athena/Hint/ZeroG and the likes. Rock pubs are a dying breed.

Unfortunately bangalore is a sad place for night life these days unlike a few years ago. There are all sorts of weird rules... everything closes after 11:30pm, no live bands any more, booze and dance floors can't be mixed together. Its really sad. Glad I'm getting outta here :p.

BTW what conference? PM me your number if you wanna catch up with a few blore TE folks.
