From the Blue Bar to the Polo Club... the journey goes on.
The commonality between these two bars is that both of them are set in fantastic gardens. Atleast part of the Polo Club stretches itself into that wonderful garden Oberoi has.
There can be no two opinions on the ambience of this place. Inside it is all green leather and wood seating. Old world fans rotating slowly above & the great view of the garden outside makes you think that you are in some Caribbean country club!! The seats can be a trifle uncomfortable in the garden, particularly after you have downed a few drinks....
Service is spot on Oberoi standards. Courteous, ever attentive, non intrusive...hall marks of classic service! They spoil you silly...
One thing I have realised after I started hitting the bars in the 5 star joints is that the liquor is NOT expensive. The same applies here also.
All classic cocktails are priced at Rs.450/-. Some premium ones are in the range of 600-700. But what the heck, as long as you can down your Mojitos & Caipiroskas of the world at Rs.450/-, who needs a premium cocktail!!!
And I would rate the Maritni here as one of the three best Martinis in Bangalore.
Being a Bangalorean, I always look for Beer. No matter how good the cocktails are. And beer here does not disappoint at all. All the premium brands are available and what takes the cake here is the pitcher. Priced very very reasonably, this is THE place to drink the golden brew if you have lots and lots of time on hand.
Grub is the standard bar version. Sandwiches and some finger foods. Nothing exciting here. But then, we go to a bar to drink. Right? The tidbits given by the bar as snacks are good enough to go with the booze.
An oasis in the traffic desert of M G Road!!!
