If you think you’ve seen it all when it comes to cocktails, Brau GALIE in Bengaluru is here to prove you wrong. Pushing boundaries and shaking up the city's cocktail game, this buzzing hotspot has unveiled a bold and inventive range of beer-tequila fusion drinks that are anything but ordinary.

At the helm of this creative wave is Shashank Singh, Brau GALIE’s expert mixologist, who has crafted a menu that marries the fizz of freshly brewed beer with the boldness of tequila—resulting in drinks that surprise, delight, and keep the party going.

Here are four beer-tequila cocktails you have to try at Brau GALIE:

1. The Lagerita: Part Margarita, All Party!

If you’re torn between sipping a zesty margarita or a chilled beer, the Lagerita lets you have both. This cocktail blends smooth tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and tops it off with Brau GALIE’s Munich Lager. It’s fizzy, tangy, and guaranteed to kickstart a good time.

2. Bloody Maria: The Bold Brunch Disruptor

A spicier cousin of the Bloody Mary, this version swaps vodka for tequila and brings in Dunkel Lager6, creating a deep, smoky finish. Infused with tomato juice, lemon, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of Tabasco, Bloody Maria is the fiery yet balanced rebel that brunch never knew it needed.

3. Spiked Mangoes: A Tropical Tease

Love mangoes? This drink's for you. Spiked Mangoes combines mango purée, lemon juice, and tequila, all finished with a pour of Brau GALIE’s seasonal mango ale. It’s lush, exotic, and refreshing—a tropical vacation in a glass with a grown-up twist.

4. Teqroni: A Smoky, Spirited Remix

Classic cocktail lovers, meet your new favorite. The Teqroni is a daring reimagining of the Negroni, swapping gin for tequila and layering it with Campari, Aperol, and a splash of Sula Shiraz. The result? A rich, citrusy, bittersweet blend with dark berry undertones—served over ice and topped with an orange twist.

Brau GALIE's beer-tequila cocktail lineup is more than just innovative—it’s a testament to Bengaluru’s evolving bar culture and the creativity of local talent. So the next time you’re craving something new, ditch the usual and head to Brau GALIE to raise a glass to bold ideas and brilliant brews.


Paro: A Modern Indian Bar Redefining Jaipur’s Nightlife

Paro: A Modern Indian Bar Redefining Jaipur’s Nightlife

In the heart of Jaipur’s historic MI Road district, Paro has quickly established itself as a crown jewel in the city’s evolving nightlife. Housed in an 80-year-old colonial building, this “Modern Indian Bar” merges old-world elegance with contemporary vibrancy, offering Jaipur’s trendsetters a place where heritage and modernity coexist.

The restored mansion retains original architectural elements, including lime plaster walls crafted by descendants of Jaipur’s Hawa Mahal artisans and Makrana marble flooring, the same used in the Taj Mahal. These historic details blend seamlessly with modern luxuries, from a central island bar to plush interiors and a rooftop that glows under flickering candles as dusk falls. The result is an atmosphere that feels both nostalgically regal and strikingly modern.

At Paro’s bar, mixology is reimagined with an Indian soul. Signature cocktails showcase indigenous ingredients and inventive presentations, from the rose-infused “Shehar” gin and tonic to the kokum and cumin-spiced “Ratnagiri Rhapsody.” Playful creations like the “Saanjh” cocktail, served with a smoking rosemary sprig to mimic a Jaipur sunset, highlight co-founder Ujjwal Gupta’s passion for storytelling through drinks.

The food menu follows the same ethos, reinterpreting regional favorites into creative, shareable delights. Classics are reinvented — Rajasthani Dal Bati becomes Dal Bati Bites, dosa transforms into crisp Onion Rings, and Mumbai Pav Bhaji finds new form as buttery rolls. Desserts too bridge nostalgia and innovation, with creations like Aamras Panna Cotta and Jigarthanda Falooda. Each dish complements the cocktails, celebrating India’s culinary heritage with a modern twist.

Paro also thrives as an immersive nightlife venue. Live indie acts, DJ sets, and an energetic crowd give the space a buzzing yet intimate vibe. Guests praise its balance of sophistication and warmth, with genuine Rajasthani hospitality anchoring every experience.

Beyond its daily operations, Paro has emerged as a cultural trendsetter. From hosting Jaipur’s first Superkicks street-culture event to collaborating with Michelin-starred chefs for exclusive tasting menus, the bar has carved a national reputation. Media accolades from Condé Nast Traveller and others highlight its unique ability to celebrate local culture while embracing global innovation.

With its fusion of history, mixology, cuisine, music, and events, Paro has redefined Jaipur’s nightlife. Whether for a date night, a celebration, or simply to soak in the rooftop views, it stands as a destination where heritage and modern indulgence meet in perfect harmony.

  •  Open daily: 12:00 PM – 11:59 PM
