OK, but where else are you going to go?
If you're waiting for a movie, or meeting some friends in Forum mall, there aren't too many places.
In fact there is one: Firangi Paani.
It's a decent imitation of a British pub. Stools at the bar, nice cushy seating on the outsides. Plenty of open space in the middle if you just want to stand at a tall table.
Cold draft beer, but only one choice. Disappointing to say the least.
Drinks are expensive, but that's Bangalore.
You get a free bag-o-crisps with a drink.
The worst part is that it is SO incredibly smoke-filled. Worse than most any other bar in Bangalore I have been to. There is just NO ventilation. They need to get something to move the air around.

English Fry Fest
Fancy a drink in a colonial setting? Firangi Paani (or The English Spirit), with its polished mahogany woodwork, gleaming mirrors, old-fashioned lamps, beer barrels that double up as tables, and leather upholstery, is a comfortable hangout.
The elaborate drinks menu with names like Old Smith, Hyde Park Magic and Flaming Thames will make you feel like a pucca English sahib. The pub-grub menu is extensive, a mixture of Anglo-Indian, Far Eastern and Middle Eastern cuisine, but not in the same league as the adjoining Sahib, Sindh, Sultan restaurant and tends to be oily. Starters include miniature vegetarian kebabs, the cheddar and chilli toast, croquettes, satay sticks, momos and falafel. For the main course, the best choice would be the fish and chips, fresh, crisp and tasty. Other options, including the paneer kathi rolls and the grilled chicken in a pita pocket, are just passable.
The clientele is a mixture of techies from Koramangala, college-goers and visiting foreigners, and the DJ usually plays rock hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. At peak hours, the pub can be quite loud. Firangi Paani is open from 12:00 pm to 11:30 pm. Paid parking is available at the Forum mall parking lot. Cost for a meal for two, including a drink each, is approximately Rs.900.

Nice place
This place has a nice English-style ambience. I can't quite place it, but its nice with its round tables in the center shaped like barrels and a bunch of props behind the bartenders. Sometimes, this place has a bit of a rush and the service tends to taper off a little. But if you're the kind that's expecting it and are ok with it, this place is just great.
Its a good feeling to have a cold beer before heading upstairs for a movie. :-)

Good english style pub
Firangi Paani pub is located on the 2nd floor in the Forum-mall. It is an "english style" pub and is situated next to the Sahib Sindh Sultan restaurant. It's a decently priced pub, not too expensive for the drinks. Shop at the mall in the afternoon, sit down for a couple drinks at this pub. Plus, it is a welcome place to be to escape the crowds in the mall ;)
