Bengaluru's Go-To Hangout Just Got a Whole Lot Tastier

Bengaluru has changed. But some places still feel like home. Monkey Bar, the city’s favourite urban hangout, is back with a delicious update — and the same unmistakable energy.

Housed in its signature high-ceilinged space on Museum Road, Monkey Bar continues to be the spot where old friends meet, new plans are made, and the evening always lasts a little longer than expected. With a menu that’s just been refreshed, the beloved gastropub adds more flavour (and a few surprises) to the comfort food it’s always done best. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch, a quick drink that turns into dinner, or a full table of small plates to share, Monkey Bar’s latest additions have something for every kind of appetite.

New on the Menu:

This update brings a little bit of everything — from bar snacks to big plates, the kind of food that feels instantly familiar but keeps things interesting.

Signature appetizers include the expertly crafted Tuna Cutlet and the beloved Classic Paneer Tikka, alongside the Japanese-inspired Chicken Tsukune that brings authentic izakaya flavors to the table. For those seeking comfort classics, the Cheese Burger delivers familiar satisfaction, while the Hariyali Fish Tikka offers a fresh take on traditional Indian preparations. The Mediterranean influence shines through with the classic Hummus & Pita combination, perfectly complemented by the indulgent Loaded Keema Wedges that blend international comfort food with Indian spices. Main course highlights feature the aromatic Military Mutton Biryani, a robust dish that pays homage to traditional cooking methods, and the innovative Mutton Kofta & Appam pairing that marries South Indian and Mughlai cuisines.

These dishes join a menu already packed with favourites — from flatbreads and comfort bowls to bar bites and Monkey Bar’s signature takes on street food. It’s the kind of spread that’s just as good with a cold beer as it is over a long, chatty lunch.

Still the City’s Living Room

The charm of Monkey Bar has always been in the details: the easygoing design, the buzz of familiar playlists, the mix of comfort and chaos that feels distinctly Bengaluru. It’s a space that’s evolved with the city but never lost its sense of self — welcoming, warm, and always ready for one more round.

With this new menu, Monkey Bar stays true to what it’s always been: the place you end up when you’re not quite ready to go home. The city’s favourite urban hangout — only more delicious than ever.
