Whitefield has a new hotspot for beer lovers and food enthusiasts with the opening of Brix & Barrells Craft Brewery. Spread across 30,000 square feet and designed to seat 500 guests, the two-story venue combines craft brewing, global dining, and live performances, setting a fresh standard for Bengaluru’s ever-evolving beer scene.
At the heart of the brewery lies a 3,500 sq. ft. microbrewery serving six in-house brews from Hefeweizen and Stout to IPA, Wheat, Lager, and American Pilsner. Each beer is crafted with precision to cater to both casual drinkers and true connoisseurs.
The design of Brix & Barrells draws heavily from nature and international inspirations. Light-filled interiors, water walls, and lush greenery indoors and outdoors create an inviting escape from the bustle of the city. A sprawling central bar anchors the space, encouraging conversations and social connections. Adding to its charm, the brewery is pet-friendly and even features a curated menu for furry companions.
The vision behind Brix & Barrells comes from its founders and managing directors, Mr. Arvind Murthy, Mr. Daksh Vedanth Gowda, and Ms. Renuka Limbavali, supported by business partners Mrs. Beena Arvind and Ms. Pragna Saahithya. Leaving behind their professional careers to follow their passion for brewing and hospitality, they’ve created a community-first destination.
Sharing his excitement, Arvind Murthy said, “Brix & Barrells is our vision of a space where people come together to share conversations, good food, and great beer. Whitefield has such a dynamic beer culture”.
Adding to this, Daksh Vedanth Gowda noted, “We’re excited to add our own signature brews to it, each crafted with passion and detail. At the same time, we wanted to go beyond the pint, offering a global culinary experience and a welcoming atmosphere that makes Brix & Barrells a true destination for the community”.
The culinary offerings match the ambition of the brewery. With over 200 dishes, the menu draws from Asian, South Indian, Italian, and continental influences. Highlights include smoky tandoori platters like Achari Mushroom Tikka and Malai Broccoli, fiery delights such as the Naga Ghost Seekh, and comfort classics like the Chicken Smash Burger.
The drinks list extends beyond beer, with a range of innovative cocktails. Guests can sip on the tropical richness of Mango Madness or enjoy the tangy kick of Tonic Twist, alongside craft beers like the smooth Heavenly Suspension (Hefeweizen), the refreshing Wit Wall (Wheat), and the crisp Punch Line (Pilsner).
With its blend of craft brewing, diverse food, and live music, Brix & Barrells positions itself as more than a brewery, it’s a destination where Bengaluru’s community can connect, celebrate, and unwind.
AIPL Joy Central in Sector 65, Gurugram, has welcomed Cellar & Cup, a 2,250 sq. ft. European-inspired café on its first floor, blending European elegance with Northeastern warmth. The café-restaurant is designed as a haven for coffee connoisseurs, food lovers, and wine enthusiasts, offering an eclectic mix of global flavors and curated experiences.
Sourcing its coffee from the lush estates of Meghalaya, Cellar & Cup highlights a rich, earthy brew that pairs seamlessly with fine Italian dishes, handcrafted sourdough pizzas, and an exclusive range of Georgian wines, a rare indulgence for wine enthusiasts in the city. The interiors reflect a contemporary European charm with wooden accents, warm lighting, artistic wall murals, and cozy seating, creating a welcoming yet vibrant ambience.
Speaking on the new addition, Ishaan Singh, Director at AIPL, said, “With this new addition, our endeavour is to craft experiences that go far beyond dining. AIPL Joy Central has already emerged as a perfect F&B hub with multiple options and some of the finest brand names, making it a destination in itself. Our vision is to create spaces where people can connect, unwind, and celebrate life in settings that are vibrant, welcoming, and memorable.”
Adding his perspective, Aman, Founder of Cellar & Cup, shared, “Having ventured into the restaurant space earlier, Cellar & Cup marks my second step in this exciting journey. With this concept, I wanted to create something more immersive where specialty coffee, eclectic cuisine, and fine wines come together under one roof. It’s about building a place that not only serves but also inspires people to connect, unwind, and celebrate life in a vibrant yet welcoming ambience.”
The opening of Cellar & Cup reflects AIPL’s vision of developing lifestyle-centric destinations that go beyond dining to foster culture, community, and meaningful experiences. With its unique combination of artisanal coffee, global cuisine, and fine wines, the café is poised to become Gurugram’s latest go-to spot for those seeking refined flavours and a relaxed yet lively atmosphere.
