    Knowwhere, the quintessential neighborhood pub, offers a relaxed setting for those seeking a casual evening out. With both open and covered seating, it accommodates various preferences. The rooftop, while not offering a spectacular view, adds a nice touch. When it comes to drinks, Knowwhere impresses with reasonably priced cocktails. The Bloody Mary is a creamy and delicious choice, while the Whisky Sour with egg white is quite good. The well-balanced and refreshing Daiquiri is a safe bet. What sets Knowwhere apart is its intriguing and unique food menu, particularly the uncommon specials. The Gunpowder Prawn stands out as a fusion masterpiece, and the Pork and Beef Pepper Fry won't disappoint. The Baos are satisfying, and don't forget to indulge in the prawn crackers. Now, onto the drawbacks: Saturdays can be overcrowded, so it's best to avoid them. Additionally, some have reported that the bouncers can be unwelcoming, seemingly favoring regular patrons. One concern worth mentioning is the pub's location in a residential area without ample fire safety precautions, which is indeed a worrisome aspect. In conclusion, Knowwhere offers an enjoyable experience with its affordable cocktails and unique food offerings, but be cautious of the potential overcrowding on weekends and the reported behavior of bouncers. Safety concerns regarding fire precautions are also worth considering. I hope they address these concerns and make it a complaint place, especially considering the crowds on Saturday nights.

    Usually it’s fun and the crowd is nice. Recently we went and the crowd was bad and there was an instance where one of the guys stole our drink from our table and walked off causally. Secondly a frnd of us was harassed by some guys. Management please take note of the sudden bad crowd that’s entering and request to keep a bouncer on the terrace. Even if just for one day.

    Their food is delicious and worth every penny spent, and alcohol drinks are various types to choose from. I also mainly enjoyed the music and singing and dancing.. It was a fun filled Saturday night out for me.

    Yet another "open air" restuarant if one is in the mood not to sit indoors. Standard menu with the regular assortment of food that suits for a quick snack or a longer meal. Simple ambience. Table service needs to be a little more attentive.

  • 5/5 Karthikeyan G. 1 year ago on Google
    The place has a good vibe and nice feel. The chairs are comfortable. The menu is versatile and the options given are really good. The food is really tasty and the drinks and cocktails are another level. Really loved this place.

    Nice place to hang out with friends. The chef went out of the way to prepare some special dishes for us and the food was just fantastic. We had some special steak on breads, pizza and fries with an amazing sauce. They have karaoke on the weekends and it sure can be fun to be at those.

    The place is located right on the 5th floor , the place is an open terrace covered by a roof in some parts. You get brewed beer (only 3 options to choose), vibe get on going as time passes. Also there is a screen put up where IPL matches are played so you can enjoy your evening with a glass of chilled beer . The place is also pet friendly so you can get your pets.

    Knowhere Restaurant is a true culinary gem, and its steak is nothing short of spectacular. The succulent and flavorful taste of the steak is a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. However, diners should be mindful of the spice levels in other dishes. While the food is undeniably delicious, the spice content may lean towards the spicier side for some. It's advisable to communicate preferences to the chef regarding spice tolerance to ensure a perfectly tailored dining experience. Overall, Knowhere Restaurant not only excels in delivering mouthwatering dishes, especially its outstanding steak, but also values customization to meet individual tastes.

    Delighted by the delectable Goan Sausage Pulav, I found the masala to be robust, elevating the flavors. The serene ambiance and budget-friendly prices added to the overall enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Nishtha D. 5 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Absolutely loved the place. Its so vibrant and chill. Like a slice of Goa in Bangalore. Its kid friendly and pet friendly too. The food is delicious and the drinks range is wide. I especially loved their seasonal cocktails.

  • 4/5 Vidya S. 8 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Food was great, didn't think mushrooms could taste so good. Pizza was cheesy but you can try to add a few more vegetarian options to the menu. The atmosphere is wonderful, lively and energetic with great music and breeze. Overall it is a great place to have a drink and chill with friends.

  • 5/5 SUREJ K. 2 years ago on Google
    No frills rooftop restaurant which has good music and dance floor or space for dancing night . The decor furniture is simple and it has a relaxed ambience The choice on the food menu may seem limited but the food there is simplly superb . The rates on liquor is the standard rates which may seem little on the higher side but the food is value for money The chef checks with each the customers about food which is not often done in other places

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful ambience and ideal place during summers for rooftop parties and drinks, friendly staff and owner #Dheeraj comes up with crazy offers on drinks and food all the time :) Food is good and the highlight of this place is the Karaoke nights if you love singing!!! An ideal place to relax on the weekends and host parties with some nice offers available and one of its kind pubs in our neighborhood : Cooke Town!!! Knowhere is definitely a must visit place in our friendly neighborhood :)

    FAQ based review! Q- where is Knowhere? A- Right in the heart of Bangalore City at banaswadi! Q- what is Knowhere? A - the place to be at, that is ofcourse if you like happening lively and ultra fab places! Q- why should I visit Knowhere when there are ten other pubs at banaswadi? A- if you don't like good food, good alcohol, amazing music and the best ambience then sure go on to the other 10 pubs. if you like quality, then visit Knowhere. Q - what are the highlights of Knowhere? A- leaving aside the obviously amazing food by Vaibhav, the amazing drinks and cocktails by Aniket, the fabulous polite service by Terrence and the warm smile that greets you when you enter by Rajesh, I guess the main highlight would be the green roof top terrace pub, where the music makes you dance even when you dint intend to! P.S - special shout out to each and every partner of this pub for making this place happen and available for everyone who needs a second home yet an amazing watering hole. 😎 Kudos!

  • 5/5 Saria W. 2 years ago on Google
    The entrance is unassuming but the place is great if you like karaoke.

  • 5/5 monica t. 2 years ago on Google
    Best place to go on Saturday. You have karaoke nights and it’s lot of fun. You’ll have to book for Saturday’s. It’s packed.

  • 5/5 Ranjini P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Cynthia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Its an amazing place to be.. Knowhere is in a buzzing area but its as cozy as it can get.. Loved it !!! They are pretty economical as well

  • 4/5 Vanessa G. 2 years ago on Google
    The karaoke nights are definitely a go to, they have an amazing dance floor which is opened on particular nights

  • 5/5 Saurabh R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place Mad vibes on a Saturday karaoke night! The booze and food are reasonably priced, the vibe is unreasonably great. Good music and crowd. If Thanos ever went to Knowhere looking for the reality stone he would forget his reality and just drop some moves on the dance floor

  • 5/5 Raphael P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great chilly beef... Great ambience

  • 4/5 Darryl P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolute favourite place for Karaoke. Really good crowd compared to most places out there. Their cocktails are pretty disappointing though, but they don't boast about their mixes anyway.

  • 4/5 ricky n. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and ambience.

  • 5/5 Antony K. 2 years ago on Google
    A well established small place consisting a seating capacity of around 120 + with lot of variety foods and beverages, superb ambience and nice service, one can chill out with friends and family, just superb.

  • 5/5 Appoose M D. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice place for karaoke on Saturdays, albeit a bit crowded. Ordering is a tad annoying as you have to order inside close to the entrance and then get the drinks across the rooftop. Food has to be collected near the ordering place if you don't get a place to sit. The vibes are really nice. It's a nice place to meet new people too

  • 5/5 Jacob P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place. Very polite staff - the chef personally came out to make sure our meal was satisfactory. Absolute, value for money joint - if you can tolerate loud music and a laid-back hippie ambience! 😄

  • 5/5 Akhil N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very few happening places on this side of the town and this is one of them. The Sunday brunch and Saturday Karaokes are lovely. Since a lot of people that go there are regulars you prolly will never get a seat if you walk in - it's best to go with a group with reservations made a few days before you go. Food is great, love the Cheese Chili Fries. You also get Beers in towers all day everyday

  • 5/5 Sunny S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience. Great place to hang out with friends. Live music is superb. Food is delicious. Must visit. Superb Atmosphere. Pet friendly.

  • 5/5 Ujwal N. 11 months ago on Google
    A rooftop bar in Banaswadi, Knowhere is the where the hidden Arjit Singh’s of Bengaluru come to reveal their talents at the Live Karaoke. On the weekends, expect this place to be packed and with a single point of ordering both food and drinks, get ready to tussle with fellow libation enthusiasts to get a shot at placing your orders.

  • 5/5 Vidhyaa Dayanandh (. 11 months ago on Google
    This pub exudes a fantastic vibe with its lively ambiance, friendly staff, and great music selection. Whether you're looking for a fun night out or a relaxed hangout, this place delivers an unforgettable experience."

  • 5/5 Abhinav A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place and the name your neighbourhood bar stands very correctly because it is a truly awesome place that's serves great quality of food, has a very good atmosphere to experience the life of a pub and definitely a most chill with your friends.. it's well circulated from all the areas of the city, the music is a bit loved but that's what you might expect from a bar anyways.. definitely do visit

  • 4/5 Siddarth N. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is located on the topmost floor..it has open air seating and normal seating under a roof..so people sitting in the open air..it can get chilly out there..apparently pets are allowed here..food taste is great..but took a lot of time to get ready..and I found the price at par with other pubs but the quantity was very less…need to improve on the qty.. the place has very good ambience..

  • 5/5 Adi R. 7 months ago on Google
    This place's karaoke night is about the best in town. The food and beverages take time to come so order early and get a table if you can in advance. The food is good quite tasty actually! Takes a while to come is all.

  • 5/5 Vaishnavi K. 6 months ago on Google
    There is something extremely likeable about this place. We went on a saturday night. The vibe was so pleasant. People were singing, dancing, complete strangers encouraging each other's performance, it felt like a one big party. The food was delicious and the best beef fry that we have ever had. The servers were very helpful, and kind. Special shout out to Vaibhav for letting us have an excellent evening.

  • 3/5 Komlin K. 5 months ago on Google
    This is an old time bangalore pub sort of a place and though the food is good, the maintenance inside isn’t awesome. It’s open air, service is decent and so are the prices. Sofa’s etc were torn out so that wasn’t a great thing. Ok for a snack or a quick stop over mostly for folks who enjoy a drink

  • 4/5 Shoban P. 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The ambience is what gets me to this place every time I visited.. it will give you the Goa Vibe. Food is good mostly , the Thai Basil version of chicken or the prawns is a killer. But they need to revamp menu or try out some variations regularly.. the BBQ menu is limited over the weekend and felt the quantity is quite low for the price you pay.. drinks are reasonably priced, service is good.

  • 5/5 Manoj A. 3 years ago on Google
    While this particular property is quite popular, it seems to have changed names / ownership over the years ( not sure of the details but have observed this and been visiting since 2008 ). The current avatar as of today, Knowhere has Great ambience tied to Old Bangalore for its beautiful pubs and taverns, Amazing food and Exemplary customer service. The music is tasteful and overall a well maintained joint. A must visit for folks who enjoy their drink and sides over conversation.

  • 5/5 Stanny J D. 3 years ago on Google
    The ownership team seems very innovative and they cater to a niche which love particular type of music, food and ambience. The retro sounds and typical Bangalore love for all things music is big here. Weekends are a rage ...

  • 4/5 Pradyumna R. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambience is very nice.... doesn't feel like too homely or too pub type

  • 5/5 Savio S. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for families and also romantic diners. Rooftop place mixed with the wonderful Bangalore weather makes it a must go place on weekends.

  • 5/5 Shreyas Lucas D. 3 years ago on Google
