Bangalore Brew Works

Bangalore Brew Works is up on the 10th floor of the Prestige Towers on Residency Road. It’s a pretty high spot, so you can see a lot of the city from up here. Being right beside the Ritz Carlton, we get a lot of people who are just looking for a drink and a bit of a view. The elevator ride up can be a bit slow when the building is busy, but once you get out, the air feels a little cooler. We spend most of our time cleaning glasses and making sure the tables are set. It’s not a quiet place; there’s always music and the sound of people talking over their drinks. Because we are so high up, the wind can get a bit strong, and sometimes we have to move things around so they don't blow away. It’s a lot of work running a place on a rooftop. We have to haul everything up through the service lifts. The staff is mostly local guys who know the city well. We don't have a fancy mission statement or anything. We just keep the beer cold and the food coming out of the kitchen. It gets really crowded on the weekends, and it can be hard to hear yourself think, but that’s just how it is on Residency Road. We just like the view and the fact that we’re away from the street noise down below.
