Top Five Dive Bars in Bangalore (not for the weak lined stomach) |

My personal "dive bar" favorite in Bangalore is Reddys Bar in Koramangala First Block, just off the Sarjapur ring road junction. Rum and water at almost wholesale rates, but the food was simply divine - pork pepper fry, egg pepper fry and "coca-cola" chicken. Together with the dinner they served up (chapatis and dal/curry), you just got to love the ambience.. typical dingy dirty dirty dive bar style...
Second, Coorg Hut on the Sarjapur Outer Ring Road... Run by a Coorg family, they made the best pork curry and roti as well as some incredible dal fry. It was a BYOB joint that offered excellent value for money... A sit out place where you could drink the night away peacefully
Next for me is Samudra, off the Majestic bus terminus, for the best egg pepper fry and some tangy fish delights...
Fourth place to the Canara Bar and Restaurant just off Natraj Theatre in Seshadripuram, next to Philips Wines. They serve some fantastic kori roti and chicken gassi and on a hot (?) saturday afternoon this went very well with KF beer... They make some nice "thread chicken" as well
Finally on my list is Madan's Bar in Koramangala (near the Vivek's showroom) or on the road parallel to the Juke Box restaurant... Some cheap chicken delights to go with not so ridiculously cheap liquor (by dive bar standards)
Any adventurers in Bangalore, please do try and let me know if you have some on your A-list as well?
And a final note of caution, please avoid if your stomach is capable of doing turns seeing roaches on the walls as you enter...
Dare I say, bon vivant!!!
