Beautiful, cosy setting, surrounded by the famous Taj West End greenery. Courteous staffs, good crowd, tasty food and mocktails and good music too. This place always gives me a happy vibe. Must Visit!!
It's a great place where you can get nice beer, good music, great fun!
As it's a part of Taj, it's well maintained and servers are very kind and well trained!
Had a great time
An excellent place to hop in for a drink one of the old heritage places in Bangalore the service quality and everything is up to the mark and as expected by taj group of hotels the dining experience here as well is superb a must visit place
I visited this club on a Saturday night . The place usually filled with cream layer of the society . If you’re lucky you’ll find a popular face . This place is a small establishment . Nothing so amazing but a great place if you’re just looking to chill with your pals or going on a date . Music is subtle , you’ll actually be able to talk in this place or dance to the music , which is great .
Awesome quiet ambience .... very serene bar .... they play some jazz music on their music system .... staff are courteous and efficient .... spent 4 hours there to sip 2 bottles of Prosecco and time flew by
Blue Bar in Taj West End has a unique setting as it sits out in the open under a shelter amid the lush green lawns having Blue Ginger Restaurant in it's backdrop.
The bar serves a variety of speciality cocktails and mocktails and have an array of beer, gin, vodka, Scotch, wine, liqueurs on the bar menu.
They serve fresh nuts and pretzels complimenting the drinks. In the food department they serve Asian and Vietnamese cuisine comprising options in veg, meat, poultry and sea food which I am sure they must be sourcing from blue ginger kitchens, so expect some really nice flavors.
Bartenders help you in deciding a good cocktail and are friendly.
The only downside is that they run out of premium beers too early and end up providing KingFisher beer as the only option.
I would like to visit this bar again for some amazing cocktails and the ambiance it provides.
First things first you won't get any other beer there but Kingfisher Ultra. The place is beautiful as expected from Taj but the main part of the blue bar is a small round hut. Food is where this place sucks, the menu is pretty limited and the food itself is sometimes not even average especially given the price. T
The sound system and techno parties are the two reasons to go there. Go there if you want to spend some time with your dear ones and nothing else.
The classic whiskey sour here was outstanding. A must try cocktail for all whiskey lovers. Ambience is good. And the staff, how will it be bad. After all it’s a taj property!
Amazing place, had a good time with my friends of course, food is good, could increase the quantity for the money you pay, good music, not very crowded, but decent ones...
I came to Taj West end on New Year eve as part of the package. So, I might be partial to this place in terms of service or prices as I did not pay by the menu. It was all part of the VIP package that was worth 14k/-. I tried various dishes in this place - chicken malai tikka, prawns, mushrooms, etc. Prawns was really outstanding and delicious. I had red and white wines, champagne etc, which obviously was good. In terms of ambience too, it is a good place to go and enjoy.
Classic place👌🏻 the atmosphere is just awesome 👏🏻 #Saturday night #party #friends #Music Fun and many more ...... 🎊🎉❤️😍😀 #VKP #Ambience👌🏻👌🏻

At the onset, I’d like to say we love burgers. And that’s why when it was about a Burger Fiesta, the distance, the traffic, the date – nothing mattered! We made way to Mynt, to try their gourmet burger menu, amidst the beautiful tranquil of Taj West End. The hotel and its beautiful lawns never cease to amaze me, the sheer grandeur and elegance of the property is quite breath taking. This time was no different, we had our usual long table set up for the tasting. Several delicious and sumptuous looking burgers were placed around the table, and I was wondering how I would get past having one!
Blue Bar happens to be one of the classy venue i have visited in Bangalore. It stands at the Taj West End and is mainly popular for their amazing shots and impressive starters. They have amazing Vietnamese food and the starters are lip smacking. The service was commendable and the dj played some amazing tracks. If ur at Bangalore it becomes a must try place for its class and ambience!
A party invitation presented me an opportunity to go here on a Friday. Awesone ambience. The food was predominantly Vietnamese i.e. from the neighbouring blue ginger but the menu was set by the party hosts. I am not a fan of Vietnamese food so i have deducted points. However, my frirnds had a wonderful yime and the dishes were top class. The bar did not serve up good quality drinks..all watered down versions!
Went there to celebrate a friends surprise party and the set up was so pretty with flowers and candles it was our first experience in the blue bar.... The dinner was good we ate from different outlets the staff was amazing their service was brilliant hepsiba and her go friend they were so sweet enough to take our pictures and suggest good food... Loved the work and company
A place you must visit it's very quite with nice peaceful music... Must try the Turkish chocolate it was very nice and new...
An amazing place to visit! The ambience was slaying , service was good. And the freshness of the place 💙. Value for money :3/5
Service:4.5/5
Ambience:5/5
Flavour of the drinks:💙
Tried adding this on trip advisor isn't really connecting with my phone visited this place with my husband been down to India for a wedding the view is very peaceful and the bar is very pleasant I'm hoping to trying the Vietnamese resto heard it's a good place to dine met this wonderful young girl hepsiba who welcomed us with her smile and a happy hello made us some really good cocktails helped us find our way back also very good place for people our age to bar at "whinks"@caleb
Quintessentially Bangalore, an outdoor bar where you can appreciate the city's great weather. The DJ plays really good music in fact you'll end up Shazaming quite a few songs. A bit quiet crowd wise but a great choice for those that want to drink comfortably. Their one for one happy hours make this place great value too. The bar tenders are professional and the food is decent enough. I really enjoy going here as you can have a conversation without shouting and enjoy Bangalore's ethereal weather.
This place boasts of one of the best cocktail menus I've ever seen anywhere!
They have great, knowledgeable bartenders who can be as chatty or non-interruptive as you'd like. These guys mix really good drinks, with personalizations - like they where happy to serve my whisky sours in glasses rimmed with salt. Also, they serve nice "chakhnas"!
Can't recommend highly enough!
I find this place is the best bar in Bangalore I came with my friends for brunch it was almost 200 people we were but the bartender at the bar was always smiled and serving he was tiered of making cocktails for us but he never said no every time yes ...if I am not forgot his name akshay I lost his cars so not able to remember but he was able some guy and awsome cocktails he made great place to do Sunday brunch great ambiance and food love to be here with friends ....
One of the Bangalore's elite lounge to enjoy ur evening with the good music by our resident DJ and nice cocktails from the bartenders with an a good attitude and very friendly staff ....
Known to be one of the most elite bars of Bangalore, Blue bar stands true to its name till date. From their unique ambience, courteous staff, variety of liquor and calming atmosphere, this is one of my most favourite places to visit in Bangalore. From a quite dinner for two to a party with a bunch of friends, blue bar caters to all your needs.
Must try their wide range of wine collection and shooters. Appetizers go well with your drinks and their music brings a calm to your heart.
An evening at this place and I promise you, you forget your worries and relax.
everything else is just background noise.
Safe, friendly and relaxing, blue is a must visit in Bangalore.
Great music and ambience! Loved the drinks and food. Live music at least on Saturday when I was there. Try the spicy fish and prawn starter, was awesome!

This is one best places to have a good drink and enjoy the nature in the heart of the city without little noise heard for....
This place is enjoyable and it is more of the old style sitting and enjoy the music with the nature around....
Music is good and loud to enjoy the drink ...food menu is limited and good for the same
I recently spent 5 weeks in Bangalore and stayed at the TAJ West. The staff at the Blue Bar were very friendly, professional and efficient. After working long hours, it was a delight to stop in at the Blue Bar and have a chat to Abhinash, Akshath, and the many other staff. The drinks were top shelf and I never had to wait for one. Truly the "Blue Bar" ambiance and music is the best and I highly recommend stopping in for a drink or two should you find yourself in the neighbourhood. KUDOS to Abhinash, Akshath, and everyone at the Blue Bar at TAJ West, Bangalore. I'll be back. Wesley Park, Adelaide, S. Australia
During the last 12 months my first visit to Bangalore had me staying at the taj west end for 6 weeks with my colleagues. During this stay we became regular guests at the blue bar and blue ginger.
The Blue bar has a great ambience and vibe and you are guaranteed great service provided by Abhinash and Akshat. They remember your drink tastes and preferences, recommend food choices, make you feel more like friends then paying customers.
Now as a frequent traveller to Bangalore for work from Australia I find myself returning back to the blue bar and blue ginger on a regular basis even when not staying at the Taj West End due to previous experiences and memories.
The Blue Gingers food is some of the tastiest I have had through my frequent travels in India. Again always great service and assistance with food choice while dining in a relaxed environment.

Blue Bar happens to be one of the best places in Bangalore for a few rounds of alcohol and good music. Oh the thing that stole it for me is you just step out to the wonderful garden area if you would want to have a quiet conversation. As always the staff from Taj are impeccable. Albeit on my last visit a couple of them were in dirty uniform and when informed promptly changed their uniform. The service is quick and very efficient. The ambiance is top class. Of course there were a few loud guests who probably were the only thing out of place but otherwise a perfect evening for chit chatting or for enjoying good music.
Kudos to the staff of Blue Bar, they get everything right to the extent that when your drink is almost done they check with you for a repeat and make sure the next drink is on the table by the time you finish it!!
The mutton chops we had ordered for our starters was perfectly cooked and another heads up for the chef on this!!
I also noticed that there was a group of about 10 people which was a birthday celebration and the staff provided them with a complimentary cake and a bottle of sparkling wine that made the birthday girl glow. Such subtle niceties are a forgotten virtue and good to see that the staff from the Taj group are so efficient. Its heart warming to see such gestures.
It was a perfect evening for me and had no complaints except one that being a dog lover I saw the security chasing a stray with a stick and hence the -.5

Blue Bar is located amidst green gardens of Taj West End, a heritage property of Bangalore. If you have no idea how Bangalore looked like in colonial era, just take a stroll across the hotel. Possibly, Taj West End is one of reasons that Bangalore is known as Garden City. It’s like a private sanctuary. Don’t miss the banyan tree, over 125 years old!
Blue Bar is an open-air, hut-like bar with seating preferences inside as well as outside – amidst the gardens (I’d recommend garden selection, thank me later). The tables/chairs are set amidst the beautiful and lush landscaped gardens surrounded by a wonderful pond with fishes.
The bar has some of the pleasantest waiters I have ever come across. They recommend drinks and the food to go with it. Each table has some on the house nibbles – primarily Wasabi peas. The bartender was really good at his job – awesomely made drinks. One of waiters recommended us Chicken Satay, which took forever to come. Nothing heavenly, though good. Prices are certainly five-star like, but it’s worth every penny.
Blue Bar is the quintessential place to unwind and soak in the environment. One of the most perfect place in Bangalore to pop that question! (Boys, are you reading?)
It's a colonial style bar which serves some really amazing european alcohol but the only sad point about this place is the deadline that it closes to serve you drinks at 1130 so then only in your rooms
It is a wonderful place to spend a Sunday evening with your loved ones and a bunch of friends.ambience is great with the open air and slow music. but it is bit expensive!
Its a open hut pub/bar. Drinks are average. Good place to party.
Well, the food wasn't all that great here. But I did enjoy the drinks. They were made nice and strong. It's okay if you're coming here once in a blue moon.

A perfect place, nice ambience and friendly staffs. If you are in for having a memorable evening, this is one of THE place in Bangalore
The bar is a good outing for those looking for a nice quiet and a classy bar with classic choice of drinks..
This is one of my favorite bars in Bangalore. It is great when its quite and you feel like you are drinking beer in the jungle. It has a nice dance floor too.
A little pricey but definitely worth it.
It's a quaint little place located in west end. Wonderful place to spend your Friday evening. The ambience is very nice. Not the kind of place if you want to dance away to glory or blast away with loud music. It's a lovely place to spend some romantic time with your loved ones (weekdays) or for a bunch of friends to get together and spend some quality time. It's definitely on the expensive side but that's pretty much expected from the location. Definitely worth the visit.
Blue Bar is a contemporary take on a open bar and dance floor set amidst the vast gardens of the Taj West End - it is the perfect place to relax, dance and have a fun night.
Love the ambience here, especially in evenings. Calm and peaceful and serene, not so crowded usually. Good for corporate events too. We did our office party and it was great.Must visit once if you are looking for a serene high end place.
This is a Vietnamese restaurant located in the Taj west end hotel. I couldn't find Buncha on the recent menu. The beef pho, pork stir-fry dish was excellent. The moist meat dishes that you can't get anywhere else were fantastic. If you go to this place without making a reservation in advance, you will have to wait for a while at the Blue Bar. Both the food and the atmosphere are perfect.
Lovely atmosphere.
Good food.
Nice service.
The dining room is outside under a beautiful tile roof in the gardens of the Taj West End Hotel.
The decoration is simple but elegant.
The cocktails menu is broad enough without exaggeration and the class. Cocktails such as Mojito and Margarita are well mixed.
The food is good with fresh ingredients and a vietnamese twist.
A nice place to chat peacefully almost under the stars.
It's the perfect place to replace the destination of your treasure map. Certainly a hidden gem which I discovered lately. As you enter Taj West End the verdant expanses of the premises provide an enchanting setting and this gem-like space shimmers in its midst.
Honestly, the food here is to die for and the staff is extremely warm, it's just a bit overpriced. I am not very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine however loved every dish served on our table. Being a foodie, I always like to take pleasure in eating different varieties of food. To be honest I did not had much expectations but as it turns out, this place served the best food (Vietnamese soft noodles, Vietnamese prawns red curry, hanoi grilled fish, grilled lamb chops, prawn lemon grass chilli soup etc.), I have had in ages. Vitanamese food is just great. Certainly coming back!!
This restaurant offers some of best food that I've tasted so far. The dimly lit tranquil ambience with relaxing music and fire torches surrounding the restaurant owes guests a truly breathtaking experience. Crafted into the lap of nature, the candlelight dinner at Blue Ginger offers a romantic atmosphere for families, friends, couples and also business people.

Should u visit?Ahem!Should i answer tht!
It was our first anniversary and we were delighted the way we got treated from the staff. The ambiance is awesome. The quality of the food was extraordinary. Overall, well worth a visit. Have a look at the menu before planning one though!
Good vietnamese cuisine with a wide range of exquisite dishes. Each dish had a flavorful impact.
The lemongrass prawn chilli soup is a great way to start a meal. The chicken thai curry has soft and tender meat. The beef is loaded with flavour and is really tender. The lamb chops are just perfectly cooked and charred to the bone. The place has a very good ambiance and the staff and servers are diligent. The only thing wrong was that they take too much time in between courses, otherwise, their food is top notch
Had been to Blue Ginger in the last week of November and the experience was amazing.
Loved the way they welcomed us with the Garlands and the traditional kunkum(bindi), the location where the restaurant is situated is lovely and romantic.
Since we opted for set course menu, we saved a lot of time deciding on the dishes and the food was very delicious aswell, not a single dish was disappointing. I especially loved the veg soup and the desserts(guess it was lemon grass ice cream and water chestnut kheer).
The chef dropped by to say Hi, the customer reps tending to our table were very attentive and their service is very appreciative! CHEERS GUYS.
Overall, a great experience and would definitely visit again.
The building is very stunning . loved everything so far seaweed crisp, scallop flower, sour spicy soup, salted tuna with tomato.
