The all-new interiors of Indigo Deli, Bandra
Bandra’s Indigo Deli has been relaunched, with contemporary, chic interiros and a brand new bar in tow. Expect drinks like the Mix Berry Martini with tropical berries, vodka and triple sec or the Guava and Sriracha Margarita finished with the in-house barbecue rub on the rim or the fragrant Green Apple and Kaffir Lime mix for the Caipiroska lovers apart from premium and Indian wines, liquors and beers. The new addition also means a whole new selection of bar bites to choose from. We’re quite curious about how the Old Monk-coffee glazed chicken wings (with blue cheese dip) will pan out. Vegetarian options that seem noteworthy include Garlic and cheese bread bites with chive cream and hot sauce as also the Mozarella cheese croquettes (with a spicy peach sauce).

Verdant decor of Bangalore’s latest Koramangala Social
The launch of yet another Social, this time in Bangalore’s Koramangala area comes with much revelry. With decor that’s inspired by the Garden City and reminiscent of a greenhouse, the latest outpost of one of the countries trendiest bars is unlike any other. If that isn’t reason enough to check out Bangalore’s third (fifteenth in India) Social, here’s something to sweeten the deal – the first three drinks that you order on Wednesday and Thursday this week will be priced at an unbelievable Rs 15. And you can pick any drink from their menu. The ‘very happy hours’, so to speak, are on from 11am to 8pm, so we’d advise you head out early from work, beat the Bangalore traffic and bring in the weekend early.
Where: 118 Koramangala Industrial Area, Koramangala 7th Block, Bangalore
When: October 19 and 20. 11am to 8 pm
