Bangalore’s love affair with great cocktails, bold flavours, and good times gets a stylish new address as CBD – Central Bar District, the city’s homegrown gastro-bar celebrated for its signature mixology and high-energy vibe, opens its second outlet in HAL, Bengaluru.
Set in one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, the launch drew Bangalore’s favourite faces who gathered to celebrate the next chapter of CBD’s journey. The brand, helmed by Ajit GS, Chef Gaurav Raghuvanshi, and Aman Dua under Crimson & Clover Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., continues to expand its growing portfolio which also includes Flo, Rasai, Café Del Sol, Bento Lab, Chat Chatore, and Curry Express.
Building on the success of its flagship space on Church Street, the new HAL outlet brings a renewed sense of style, sophistication, and community. Designed as a seamless blend of comfort and energy, it’s a destination that fits perfectly for both weekday unwinds and weekend celebrations.
“The love and loyalty we’ve received since opening our first outlet have been nothing short of phenomenal,” said Ajit GS, Founder of Crimson & Clover Hospitality. “From regulars who turned into friends to first-timers who became fans, it’s this community that pushed us to grow. With HAL, we wanted to bring the same soul but add a new vibe that reflects the neighbourhood’s pulse. This is just the beginning of our vision to create a CBD in every district, each with its own distinct character.”
At the heart of the new outlet lies an inventive culinary and bar program that balances familiarity with experimentation. The food menu, curated by Chef Gaurav Raghuvanshi, celebrates Indian comfort food with creative flair, featuring crowd favourites like Truffle Chicken Sliders and Korean Chilli Prawns, alongside exclusives such as Smoked Ghee Roast Tacos, Charred Burrata Flatbread, and Tandoori Quail. From Sindhi Aloo Tuk and Butter Chicken Puff to Jackfruit Biryani, each dish tells a story of innovation and nostalgia.
The bar, meanwhile, is designed as a canvas of emotion and memory. Each cocktail at CBD HAL reimagines familiar flavours in unexpected ways, from the “Revised Rasam”, a clarified reinterpretation of a South Indian classic, to bold signature creations like Kantara, CBD Gudbad, Rain Water, and Noon in Doon.
“We wanted the new CBD to be a sensory experience where every visit feels fresh and immersive,” said Aman Dua, Co-Founder and Beverage Director. “Our bar menu evolves with the food, blending timeless favourites with seasonal limited-edition cocktails that reflect Bangalore’s dynamic palate.”
Spread across three levels, CBD HAL offers a layered experience. The ground floor creates an intimate atmosphere anchored by a brass-and-wood bar; the first floor opens to breezy outdoor nooks perfect for al fresco evenings framed by a majestic Ficus Bonsai tree; while the top floor pays homage to old Bengaluru through its thotti mane-inspired architecture, seamlessly merging nostalgia with modern comfort.
The interiors balance industrial chic and warmth, featuring murals that celebrate Bangalore’s culture and humour, exposed brick walls, soft lighting, and plush seating, all adding to the relaxed yet refined vibe.
With this launch, CBD – Central Bar District continues its mission of redefining urban nightlife, merging craftsmanship with community, taste with tempo, and indulgence with intent. As the city raises a toast once again, CBD HAL promises an experience where every sip, bite, and beat captures the spirit of Bangalore.
