Daysie, the brand known for redefining casual dining and bar culture in Bangalore, has officially opened its latest concept, Quarter House by Daysie, in RR Nagar. The new venue brings a fresh take on the local bar scene, combining the approachable charm of classic Indian “quarter bars” with the reliability and finesse that Daysie is known for.

Quarter House is designed to evolve through the day, creating “experiences within experiences.” By afternoon, it serves as a relaxed, food-led space for families and casual gatherings. By evening, it transforms into a vibrant, high-energy neighborhood bar where friends can enjoy affordable drinks and flavorful plates.

“With Quarter House, we wanted to bring back the spirit of the local bar, honest, lively, and unpretentious but executed with the finesse and reliability people associate with Daysie,” said Anirudh Kheny and Neeti Gokhalay Kheny, Partners of Keen Mustard Ventures. “It is the kind of place you don’t need a reason to visit; it just becomes part of your week.”

The food at Quarter House celebrates bold, regional flavors that complement the bar experience. Small plates include Paneer 65, Kurkuri Bhindi, and Chicken Ghee Roast, while mains feature Chettinad Chicken Curry, Coorgi Mutton Fry, and soulful biryanis. The bar program focuses on neighborhood-priced pours of whiskeys, gins, and beers, alongside signature cocktails inspired by Indian cities, designed to be flavorful, familiar, and easy on the wallet.

“The food at Quarter House reflects India’s relationship with its local bars, bold, immediate, and deeply comforting. It’s a mix of nostalgia and freshness, designed to complement the pace and warmth of a true neighborhood bar,” shared Atul Sunder, Partner of Keen Mustard Ventures.

The interiors are intentionally unfussy, with relaxed seating and a welcoming ambiance that encourages conversation and good company. Whether decompressing after work, catching up with friends, or enjoying a casual evening out, Quarter House delivers the “local bar” feel with a modern Daysie twist.

Quarter House also marks the first step in Daysie’s zonal brand evolution, with the vision of creating multi-layered experiences under one roof. Future Daysie locations may feature sub-brands with distinct vibes, pricing, and target audiences, all unified by the brand’s commitment to quality, emotion, and hospitality.
