Vesper Nightclub - Bengaluru

The Toddy House in Koramangala has been rechristened to Bulls N Bears Bar Trade Xchange. This is the first pub to have Bar Stock Exchange concept of having dynamic prices for drinks(cocktails, mocktails, beers and hard liquor). The interiors are made colourful from the rustic feel. They have a closed and open area now, unlike before. Though they have retained some of their items from The Toddy House menu, a lot of new additions are there pizza, Asian food, Chelo Kebab, burger, fries, desi take on poutine and many more. I went there with a few of my friends and I was pretty impressed with this new place. The drinks and their prices are displayed on Stock Exchange like display board with their dynamic prices. The prices go up or down based on the demand for that particular drinks. I took a couple of pint of beer while my friends tried a few of the mocktails. The mocktails were really nice and they are currently running some amazing offers on beer. For the food, I really loved the Crispy Water Chestnuts in Sweet Chilli Sauce and the Malabar Beef Fry. Both of them were spicy and wonderfully prepared. The desi take on Poutine is a good bar bite and I feel would become quite popular. The Tangdi Kebab also another popular dish that I liked. The Threaded Prawn was one of my favourite dishes from The Toddy House time. It is great they have kept this in their menu, a little disappointment was the change in the dip from the previously amazing butter and mango pickle dip. They can give an option to the customer to choose the dip. I was excited to see a restaurant serving Chelo Kebab here in the style of Peter Cat from Kolkata. For those who do not know, Chelo Kebab is a complete dish, where buttered rice is topped with Kebabs(a popular Irani dish). Peter Cat made it popular in Kolkata with their unique plating with two different typed of Kebabs and a fried egg served on a bed of buttered rice. Bulls N Bears did a great job in emulating the dish, though I would say making the rice little more moist by adding more butter to make it more similar to the one from Peter Cat. Finished our lunch with a Blueberry Cheesecake this is a good addition since Toddy House didn't have any desserts on their menu. The staff is courteous and the service is good.

The place has good vibes, crowded with mostly students. There was a bollywood night where they offerred free shooters for girls for an hour. Menu prices are different here as compared to What’s In a Name also if you are a beer buy here it’s disappointing for you as only pint bottles are available here for pitchers and towers you need to visit the below floor where they usually have a karoke night. Entry for the bollywood night was free, but the shooters provided by them were not a great one. Alcohol content varies in all the shots and in some there was very less content that it literally tastes as a juice.

Toddy house is one of the most happening places in Bengaluru . It is situated in the koramangala 5th block. This establishment dishes out predominantly of Indian food from different costal states. This place is very spacious with bar, dance floor and live cricket streaming. As it is in second floor, you could experience the fresh breeze which will make you relax. Here are the list of dishes I tasted over there. Safe sex on the beach (Mocktail): This mocktail refresh your mind with the flavour of fresh peach and cranberry. If you are a non alcoholic then this is a must try. Cheeseling jhalmuri: A crispy cheesling snack which would be a great combination with drinks. This snack is a mixture of cheeseling , pieces of tomatoe, onion, cilantro ,coconut etc. All the ingredients are added proportionately which resulted in a good spicy flavour. Threaded prawns: The prawns are threaded with potatoe and sauted to golden perfection. Inside it is soft and outside it is crispy. It is served with a sauce made up of lemon and butter. With that sauce served , the prawns tastes great. Quail eggs: Its not often you get quail eggs everywhere. For the first time I tasted quail eggs. The eggs are small and fried to golden brown. The chili powder added, made it more tasty. Vegetable chop: This is one of my favourite dishes I tasted there. This cutlet comprises of smashed mixed vegetables like beans, carrot etc. It is deep fried and served with mustard sauce . The taste of the cutlet is simply delectable . But as the served mustard is very pungent a slight dip is advised. Chicken shots: Its basically fried chicken pieces served with BBQ sauce and tomato ketup. The chicken is soo tender and tastes fresh with well balanced masala. Triple decor Paneer: Green chilly paste and pomogrenate paste are sandwiched between the paneer. The pieces are handy and tasty. Koon kurumulaku: Name sounds soo strange isn't it? But is a wonderfully fried mushroom with curry leaf. It is served with tamarind sauce which will blow your mind with punch of its tamarind flavour. This is a must try in my perspective. Chatti pork: It is a fried shoulder pork with balanced flavour of spices . The pork is juicy and tender but the fat content is a bit more which dominated the taste. Kachuri coins: Small puri's fried moderately which is stuffed with green chutney and served with potatoe curry. The combination is great and flavourful. Appam with chicken stew: Appam is the traditional pancake of kerala which is presented and cooked very well here. The chicken stew curry is a combination of chicken , tomato , potatoe, cilantro and spices cooked with coconut milk. The appam is soo thin and tasted great with the chicken stew curry. I would say it is a typical kerala style curry which is very delectable. It is also a great place for celebrations as well with a lively DJ. To sum up with, the food served there is totally worth for the bucks which you are paying. Do pay a visit at your leisure.

If one wants to go to a place to wind down or party, during the weekdays or weekends, this place is highly recommended. Good service, food on the menu which will remind you of your college and items that are suit the contemporary requirements. As for the alcohol, it's reasonably priced which is always a good news. This place has events and promotions during the entire week which one should keep a track of. All in all a very good place to hang out with friends and family. And yes, it's also PET FRIENDLY!

Best place for Pizza and Sizzlers. Chilly Chicken Pizza is a must have. The service was fast and we didn't have to wait for the food at all. Also , they have this really cool concept where in you get free shooters if you drop in a review/feedback for them on Zomato
