    Ambience: A really cozy, retro setup with quirky interiors and outdoor as well as indoor seating places. Suitable for social gatherings and random conversations with friends.

    Had been to this place with my friends.. Vibe of this place was awesome.. Music was also superb.. You can try your voice at the Karoke they offer.. But food wise they had very limited options in vegetarian food. Hence we had to leave early.. Don't recommend this place to enjoy with your family and friends incase you are vegetarian..

    Great experience, the vibes after 8:30pm when the karaoke starts are just amazing. The food is good however the service needs a lot of improvement. They also give coupons for entry charges instead of cutting it from the bill directly, so once when I forgot about my coupons got no reuse since they are valid only for that day. But this is still a must visit place especially for karaoke.

    A very nicely done place that server some not so good food and cocktails. The service was quite bad and the prices were high. At least they did not justify the quality of the food and service. We ordered the 'What's in a name' cocktail. It was served in a teeny weeny glass with some teeny weeny pieces of apple floating on it and tasted quite bad. The fish fingers were tasteless. The cheese and pineapple wasn't great either. We got it when we had forgotten about it and asked for the bill and to add to it, the presentation was terrible. All in all we had a bad experience. Definitely not going back here.

    If you in search of very lively place in an around Koramangala with great food and ambience then this is your only stop. Karaoke nights are best days to visit as unknown people start to bond together with music and sing together. The place also serve alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages with both indoor and outdoor seating arrangement. This is a pet friendly place as well.

    What an ambience. The owner of the place sits along with you and chats with you. Their beer is quite cheap. You get Toit Tin-tin as well. Their food is pretty average. But head out there in the evening for their Karaoke. It’s amazing. You get to meet loads of people according to your personality. But it’s going to be a good evening for all the music lovers. Covered area and smoking area, both of them are available inside.

    This place needs to pace up while there are a lot of other options available around. The initial service was slow. I had to go to the bar counter and recheck about my order after a 30-40 minute wait but later they picked it up. Bacon wrapped sausages and cheese balls were okay. The egg chilli was spot on. The karaoke night was a turn off until a few sets of good singers hit the floor.

    The only place/pub in Bangalore where networking is possible and Public Karaoke is on the next level. Highly Recommended to visit for music lovers. Dishes: Not recommended: Veg trio - mushroom paneer corn Chilli chicken Too spicy with lots of sauce & same taste. Recommended dishes: crispy corn & veg noodles

    The vibes are amazing. The place is very happening during the evening until midnight, a place packed with entertainment and straight up vibes. They have karaoke nights which are extremely fun and worth going for. The service is pretty fast but the food on the other hand isn't extraordinary, but it's very decent. One can visit this place atleast once to experience the ambience.

    Always love the ambiance there whether it's a weekend or a weekday. I mostly love the outdoors sitting here and the service and food quality is also good at a very decent price point. The music and the atmosphere is good and you should definitely visit here if you are visiting Koramangala. This place is worth it.

    They have covered and open space for sitting. Food is good but cocktails are too bland. Shooters aren't worth either. Beer is fine. Food is "okaish". Overall decent place to spend evening with friends.

  • 3/5 Shreejon B. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a very compact place. The food is very average, drinks too are not upto the mark. The service is mediocre. The washroom stinks and is very unkept. It is better to go down the alley and find some better options to party with the same pinch to your pocket. Also i doubt if the place has a valet parking.

    *What's in a Name* - true to its name, the pub's simple setup helps to relax and enjoy the hours spent. Helpful and friendly staff who knows to cater to your needs for the drinks to suit the mood will ensure your glasses are never empty. The food was excellent and a feast to the eyes even before the tastebuds holds on to their lingering memories for long. The owner of the pub is a happy host who is living his dreams each day. A singer himself, his warm smile, friendly nature and vibrant presence in the pub will make you eagerly wait for the next opportunity to return. It's a pleasure to meet him, he will inspire you to live your life the way you deserve... Happy and cheerful on a journey where you realise your dreams and make them happen.

  • 5/5 Karthik B. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty good place to relax and let loose. I've been here a couple of times now and always enjoyed the 2000s rock/metal music they play. The food is great and worth the price. Happy hours on all days is another frosting on the cake types. It's not too crowded which makes it even better and has a Foosball table that is tip top condition. Would be even more great if it had zomato pro but I have no complaints. Cheers

    Great vibes. Staff was polite. Food was served quick and tasted great. Washrooms need to be more cleaned and designated at a better place. Everything else was great though.

    Karaoke nights on Friday - starts around 9 PM. They let you sing all types of songs - English, Hindi and regional. Good value for money drinks. They serving Toit beers (only witbier) on tap. Prices are good and value for money - unlike those on Jyoti Nivas college road/Sarjapur Road ones.

  • 3/5 Pradeep N M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambience wise it was quite good, with karaoke for the patrons on Thursday n Sunday nights. Situated almost near jyothi nivas College, it's in the heart of koramangala. All said n done about location n ambience, the food wasn't that good at all. The fried rice was just a horibbly gone wrong dish n even tasted stale. The kerala beef roast was not upto mark, I felt. All in all, it wasn't all that ok. I felt the number of staff to manage everyone at the pub also felt insufficient as that what was seen. They couldn't manage everything properly once the rush was at the maximum towards the end of the night. Will visit another day to confirm all this again. PS: this place is pet friendly as we saw guests bringing in their pets. Also, it felt like a jolly crowd. 3/5

  • 3/5 Shreyas G. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an awful experience. I'm hoping this experience will change. They really, really, really, really.... Need to fix the food! So we visited this place in the afternoon actually, we were just walking by and planning for lunch, they had happy hours. The place looked empty had hardly any folks around. My colleague has mentioned that they had visited this before and it's decent. So we agreed since we had already had our vehicle parked nearby didn't want to move and search again for another parking spot (you know Bengaluru). We walked in and there was no body. Food - 2/5 : Now here's where they got hit. Looks like since not too many folks around, their head chef was not around and they had their assistant/junior chef doing the food. We ordered an Egg Chilly, a simple one. It was so bad, had fishy taste, not fresh, looked stale as well. I was wondering if the food was kept alongside the seafood. Or did the chef cook with fish oil instead of regular? I don't know, but it tasted so bad! Beer was good as usual, draught beers, good and fresh Ambience - 4/5 : TBH, they really have a good place! The location, the vibe, the interriors, open seating, they all are actually good. They do give a good vibe of the place, all the need to actually fix is the food. If they're able to do that, this should be a great, one of the happening places in Koramangala. Service - 4/5 : Service was good too. No complaints, they'll try hard to give you good service and convince that the food here is good 😜 but that isn't the case. One issue i see is that the washrooms are not kept clean. They need to get that fixed and get it thoroughly cleaned, you need to keep it fresh continuously. Overall - 3/5 : i want to visit here once in the evening with the hope that the food might be better and prepared by an actual/main chef. The vibe is good and can give another shot just for the vibe.

    One amongst the hundreds of small pubs at Koramangala. Fusion food both veg and non veg options available.

  • 4/5 Yondering B. 5 months ago on Google • 101 reviews
    One of the liveliest karaoke bars in this part of the city ! You’ve to reach early and put your name down for the Karaoke, preferably make a reservation over the weekends especially. Food is alright, nothing great. Drinks are relatively priced well for the location. Service is reasonably quick

  • 4/5 Nischitha G. 1 year ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Good place to hangout.. U can sing the song whichever you want. And dance floor is also available But honestly only if you go in happy hours it's affordable and recommended only drinks and staters.. Not recommend main course, taste is really bad(main course)

  • 3/5 Yashvanth K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with good ambiance. There is karaoke on Sundays and ppl who love it can visit...happy hour pricing is really affordable...BUT you won't get high even after 5 shots and the service is bad. It takes 20 mins or more for just one dish to be served..even the simplest ones

  • 4/5 Ramya V. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited there with my friends, what a happening place, we really liked the vibe of it. Service was good 👍🏽 Pricing were ok, but we couldn't try the Karaoke singing, coz of too much crowd, that' what this place is known far. More than 15 people were in queue. We tried their Pigs in blanket - Very delicious Veg Sizzling platter - No words to express how amazing and delicious it was, very perfect Chicken fried rice - Good Dislikes - Stag entry 500 per head and cigar they are selling it for double the price.

  • 3/5 Akarsh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Mixed emotions at this place! The ambiance and vibes were good but the food was tasteless. Sorry if that sounds rude but that’s the fact!

  • 4/5 Ria A. 7 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Visited What's In A Name in Koramangala for karaoke night. The experience was decent. The food was passable- the Crispy Corn was enjoyable, but the Fried Fish Koliwada had a strong smell. We tried the beer, I'd advise against the LIIT.

  • 1/5 Subhradip R. 9 months ago on Google
    This one star rating I am giving because there is no other option to give a zero rating. Basically this place is having nothing in the name. We have visited this place yesterday and found the place was too much crowded. After giving a cover charge of rupees thousand we entered the place and found a place to sit. If you are only therefore dancing and just go with the vibe then this is the place for you however, if you are looking for a decent place to have a good quality time spent with your near and dear ones with good food and ambience, then please avoid this place. Number of stops are not at all adequate and as a result you will find delay in order or payment. There are a lot of rush so only one people are typically managing 15 to 20 customers at a time so there is a big mess We ordered two drinks while bringing the drink the top speed the drink, he quickly replaced it, and while having the beer the beer glass suddenly broken into two pieces and the entire beer spilled over my wife’s dress, it’s spoiled her dress she was completely drenched with beer. there was no sorry or any kind of courtesy from the staff or the manager of the pub. The food was also horrible. We have ordered the fish finger which was tasteless, fish, less and everything less. So altogether. I can tell you if you want to spoil your evening or night or anything, please go there and just spend your money. I will give a total 0 to this place and will never recommend anyone or never will go again in my lifetime to find a good experience..

  • 5/5 Frane B. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazing, chilled out place. Love to visit with my pets. It's a place to relax when you really want to unwind. No need to worry about dressing up etc, casual is also fine. Pets are served food too If required. Kolkata style 'jhal moori' , chanachoor are the things we order no matter what. Food is great on the whole. We love it !!!

  • 1/5 Devika K. 6 months ago on Google
    If I could give negative stars, I’d be happy to. With absolutely zero consideration to residents who live in the area - remember this has been a residential layout since the 80s- the karaoke brayers - yes, after the initial hour of singing there’s only braying to be heard at loud volume- get worse as the night proceeds. They do not turn down the volume even after 11 p.m and no amount of phone calls have worked. Most inconsiderate, loud and loutish cacophony from Fridays till the weekend ends. I hope the owners and their customers never get a moment of peace in their entire lives.

  • 5/5 Sri A. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice place to hangout. The service people are very friendly. There was only foosball, could have had a few more game. But the overall ambience was too good.

    Atmosphere is okay. Food bland, and Service straight up bad. The pasta tasted like Curry, the shrimp was unseasoned. Cocktails lacked alcohol and flavor. The only thing good was the buttered piece of toast with the pasta. Will not recommend going and wasting your money and time

    It's the place that I go to find my Tribe. The FOOD, the Music, the Ambience and The price comes together perfectly. Its one of the best pet friendly places in bangalore. Me n my pooch love this place💜. Its also one of the few places where u will meet an eclectic group of people from varied backgrounds. If ur in town n have no clue where to be, this is the place to be.

  • 4/5 PATRICK TAN TEH K. 3 years ago on Google
    Its a place for people who want to spend some time chatting & ordering for a small mug or a large pitcher beer to gush it down with accompanied with some starters like chicken tikka kabab which was quite spicey👎👎 the pork spare ribs was quite tender & cooked well👍👍.... The tenderloin beef was also cooked to perfection & good👍... Finally for the main course.. The Pasta was served piping hot but was ok but they should have increased the amount of chicken pieces for the price they charged.. 👍 The Atmosphere had loud music to sooth the moods while we sit and have a drink or eat our hearts out.... Also we can watch a Cricket match & sing out along with Karaoke🎤.... Nice & warmth feeling.... Finally my honest review... 1. Food & Drinks⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2. Service & Staff - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3. Ambience - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Overall Rating 3/5 ** Overall good***to Visit

  • 3/5 Ashita N. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a small resto-bar which is located in a place that's not very "out there". When we visited, the place was extremely quiet. The drinks are just average, nothing too special about them. The food was a little disappointing. We had Nachos - the cheese was very very weird, it did not seem like cheese to be honest. We had a veg pasta, that was pretty okay. We also had some chicken starter which again, just average. The day we went the place had karoke night. A lot of people filled in. Anyone can pick a song and go up and sing. People can also dance. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and nice, have built a sense of community.
