SOL55 has opened its doors in Koramangala, Bengaluru, bringing a fresh take on the neighbourhood bar concept. Built around the idea of warmth, energy, and familiarity, the space takes inspiration from the sun “SOL” and the natural flow of urban life, creating an experience that feels polished yet easy-going.
In a city known for its fast-changing bar scene, SOL55 focuses on consistency and comfort rather than trends. Designed as a place people can return to, it offers a setting where weekday catch-ups and weekend plans come together naturally. The bar aims to strike a balance between premium quality and approachable pricing, making it accessible without losing its charm.
What sets SOL55 apart is its clear focus on everyday social experiences. The bar is built around honest pours, soulful food, and a relaxed atmosphere, avoiding both high-priced menus and overly loud settings. The idea is simple — quality drinks, good food, and a space where guests feel at ease.
Sharing the thought behind the concept, Yuvaraja HS of Sol55 said,
“With SOL55, we wanted to create the kind of bar we ourselves kept looking for in Bengaluru, one that feels familiar, dependable, and easy to come back to. The idea was never about chasing trends, but about building a neighbourhood space where people can enjoy good food, honest drinks, and genuine company without overthinking it. Koramangala felt like the right home for this vision, and SOL55 is our way of giving the city a bar that grows with its people,”
Food plays a key role in the overall experience at SOL55. The menu focuses on regional and comforting dishes that pair well with drinks. One of the highlights is the selection of regional thalis, designed for guests looking for a wholesome meal. The Coastal Thali stands out with its seafood-inspired flavours, while both vegetarian and non-vegetarian platters cater to groups and casual dining.
The bar menu follows a similar approach, offering cocktails that are simple, well-made, and familiar with a local touch. Inspired by Bengaluru and beyond, the drinks aim to balance classic styles with subtle twists.
SOL55 is positioned as more than just a bar. It aims to be a community space in Koramangala where colleagues unwind after work, friends meet regularly, and guests enjoy a consistent experience. With warm interiors, thoughtful service, and a welcoming vibe, the space focuses on comfort over show.
Reflecting its philosophy, the brand identity is built around themes of energy, balance, and celebration. SOL55 aims to become a reliable neighbourhood spot in Bengaluru’s nightlife, offering quality experiences without making them feel out of reach.

Shao, the Pan-Asian restaurant at Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road, has unveiled a new à la carte menu by Chef Sitam Lama, marking the first full expression of the chef's culinary vision at the restaurant.
The new menu brings together flavours and culinary traditions from regional Chinese, Southeast Asian and Balinese cuisines, offering guests an expansive Pan-Asian dining experience within a single menu.
The selection begins with a range of vegetarian creations, including Crispy Spicy Tofu, tossed with chestnut, peanut and dried chilli, and Crunchy Assorted Mushroom, wok-tossed with five-spice, chilli, garlic and spring onion. The sushi selection also features vegetarian options such as Avocado Nigiri and Sweet Shiitake Nigiri.
The menu extends into comforting and aromatic preparations, including Chongqing Chicken Soup, a slow-cooked broth featuring Sichuan peppercorns, dried chillies and goji berries. The Balinese Chicken Satay combines hand-minced chicken with chargrilling and a lemongrass dip.
For diners seeking bolder flavours, the Sizzling Cumin Lamb combines toasted cumin with the heat of Sichuan peppercorns, while the Smoked Spicy Pork Belly with Bamboo Shoots is wok-tossed with the kitchen's own fermented chillies and garlic.
The Shanghai Chicken Dumpling, finished with truffle oil, provides a lighter option, while the Hunan Steamed Seabass, topped with pickled mustard and chilli, brings the savoury selection to a bold and tangy finish.
Across the menu, Chef Sitam Lama's approach focuses on premium ingredients, refined techniques and authentic regional flavours, while presenting familiar Asian culinary traditions through a contemporary restaurant setting.
The new menu debuted on 25 August 2026, giving guests an opportunity to experience Chef Lama's signature creations as Shao continues its culinary evolution.

Tacos Atarantados has introduced Cerveza Atarantados, its first signature beer in the United States, in collaboration with Miami-based Magic 13 Brewing Co. The Mexican-style light lager is now available exclusively at the restaurant's Wynwood and Brickell locations.
Created specifically to complement the restaurant's food menu, the 4.5% ABV lager features a crisp and refreshing profile designed to pair with Tacos Atarantados' signature tacos, trompo meats, and house-made salsas.

Speaking about the launch, Jorge Guadiana, Corporate Chef and Co-Owner, Tacos Atarantados, said, "Hospitality has always been about creating experiences that feel authentic to who we are. We wanted a beer that naturally belonged on every table alongside our food. Partnering with Magic 13 allowed us to create something that reflects both our Monterrey roots and the incredible craft brewing community here in Miami."
Cerveza Atarantados has been developed to pair naturally with dishes such as tacos al pastor, grilled meats, and the restaurant's range of house-made salsas, while also being suited to enjoy on its own.
The signature beer is currently available for $8 at Tacos Atarantados' Wynwood and Brickell locations.
The launch adds another dimension to Tacos Atarantados' dining experience, further connecting its Northern Mexican culinary identity with Miami's growing food and craft beverage culture.
