Drunken Daddy — Restaurant in Bengaluru

We went here on 4th July 2025 to celebrate a friend's birthday. The place has an amazing vibe, and it's pretty spacious. We really enjoyed ourselves and had an amazing time. I will discuss the pros and cons underneath, and some of it will be really useful if you haven't been there before.

Pros: Food & Drinks was Great!! Staff is really well-mannered and prompt, especially on the 2nd floor You can smoke on your table itself, which is a big plus for place this huge Orders get delivered pretty fast, and music was nice as well You can meet a lot of new people here, but I'm not sure if stag entry is allowed Part of the sitting area on the 2nd floor is in the open, which also feels nice unless it's raining. :p

Cons: The location of the place is a problem because it is on a very narrow lane, so parking is an issue here. Park somewhere else and walk the rest. Better even don't get your vehicle. They will frisk you before you enter and that is when you will realise that you CANNOT TAKE AN OPENED CIGARETTE PACK!! They will take it and deposit it, which you will not get back by the time you leave because someone else would have taken it. The cigarette shop opposite to this place charges extra over the MRP for the same reason. Be smart: buy your packs beforehand and don't open them before entering the place. If you have plans to hit the dance floor make sure you clear your bills before leaving the table. You will not get the table back if someone else takes it up. It is very crowded on weekends naturally, and we had to wait for quite some time before we got a table to sit at. Better to reach early and take a table to avoid waiting. Finding a ride back home at night could be an issue from this area since a massive crowd will be on the streets when all the clubs/pubs start shutting down. Leaving a bit before 12 is a good idea for the same reason. If you are too drunk, you could get lost in the crowd :p hahaha I personally don't like dancing that much, but if you do it is a must-visit for you. But you will be dancing/standing shoulder to shoulder with some stranger, and chances are you will feel suffocated as well. I feel they squeeze in a lot more people than they can actually accommodate on the dance floors. Be careful with your valuables and...

This place is located amidst all the action of Koramangala's 5th block. The location is fantastic and I doubt if it could get any better than where it is.

I went here on a Monday night and the place was surprisingly crowded at about 50-60% of its total occupancy.

Let me break down and justify my three star review.

Food: Every dish that got eliminated at our table was lip smacking, and it felt like good quality food that also tastes great! Every dish is also plated really well to please the eyes too! :) Quick bites- they have curated a menu involving local foods and ingredients (+1 for that) Pizza- although I was not impressed with the dough, the pizza was still one of the best I've had at ₹195 only! Yes, exactly! Sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese and mozzarella cheese along with other toppings for just that much! (5/5 for that) Tandoor- In my opinion, the marinade was instant and hence the flavour was all on the outside. Nevertheless, still soft and succulent!

Ambiance: it's a mix of rustic stone work and mordern woodwork lit up with warm lighting. They also turn down the lights at 21:30 to engage their party mode. Minus points for using plastic plants everywhere!

Drinks: Nothing too different about it here, but whatever we asked for was in stock until the draught beer ran out! (Of course it would run out, it's only ₹95/glass)

Music: at first, the music was hurtful to the ears and the DJ or whoever the operator was that evening was mixing terrible songs terribly! It definitely improved over time as the night progressed, however I think it would help to have a good & experienced DJ at the console (especially when there is enough crowd)

COVID protocols: Everyone from the staff was flaunting their jawline and lipsticks with their masks on their chin, or either in their pockets! There were no social distancing measures taken, and no sanitization of the tables after customers leave. THIS IS SERIOUS! GET YOUR TEAM TO STRICTLY FOLLOW RULES!

Pricing: A whole lot of drinks and enough food for three folks at the table got us a bill for ₹2500! It is extremely well priced and would be great if they could hold on to the pricing structure for a while!

I would love to go back and re-experience this again, and hopefully I can change my rating to a...

This place was a total disappointment! If you are a couple, you will get good service, but if you go with a male friend, get ready for a bad experience. Let me explain everything step by step.

At the entrance, the lady at the gate was polite but not helpful. She only told us the charges and said that only couples could go to the dance floor—nothing else. When we entered, we went to the first floor. There are two floors, but the top floor felt completely separate. You can’t see the dance floor from there, and the projector screen is useless.

Now, back to the first floor. The three of us were standing near the projector screen. Behind us, there was a table with four chairs, and no one was sitting there. We went to sit down, but a waiter quickly came and told us to leave. He said that the table was only for four people. It was clear that couples got better treatment while we were ignored.

Now, about the food and drinks—it was terrible! Every time we wanted to order, we had to go to the counter ourselves. On a Saturday, the wait time was at least 20 minutes just to place an order. Then, we had to wait another 20 minutes to get the food. We wasted so much time just standing there.

The biggest scam was the 500-rupee coupon system. When you enter, you have to buy these coupons. But here’s the trick: if your order is ₹400, you have to give a ₹500 coupon, and they won’t return the extra ₹100. You either buy something for ₹100 (which is impossible) or lose that money. If you buy more, the same thing happens again, so you always have to pay extra.

The beer situation was also bad. The prices were high, and when we asked for draught beer, the waiter said it was “out of stock.” Clearly, they only wanted us to buy the expensive drinks.

We spent four hours there, and 1.5 hours were wasted just ordering food and drinks. The rest of the time, we just stood there, listening to music and watching couples dance while we were ignored.

Overall, a terrible experience! I would never go to this place again, and I don’t recommend...
