The vibe is the same, but the flavours are fresher than ever. Monkey Bar, one of Bengaluru’s most iconic hangout spots, has dropped an all-new menu at its Museum Road address—and it’s exactly the delicious reset we didn’t know we needed.

Known for its effortlessly cool energy and signature high-ceilinged space, Monkey Bar remains the place for impromptu reunions, casual dates, long lunches, and every kind of get-together that deserves great food and even better memories. Now, with its latest menu refresh, the gastropub is mixing comfort with creativity.

What’s New?

Monkey Bar’s updated spread continues to do what it does best: hearty, inventive, and familiar food with bold flavour profiles. The new menu features:

• Tuna Cutlet and Chicken Tsukune for those who like their bar bites with a twist.

• Classic Paneer Tikka and Hariyali Fish Tikka, delivering desi comfort in every bite.

• Cheese Burger for the purists, and Loaded Keema Wedges for those who like their comfort food spicy.

• Military Mutton Biryani – a robust, nostalgia-packed dish that’s already winning hearts.

• Mutton Kofta & Appam – an unexpected and delightful marriage of Mughlai and coastal flavours.

• Hummus & Pita for Mediterranean simplicity done right.

And that’s not counting Monkey Bar’s all-time favourites still on the menu – from flatbreads and bowls to street food mashups and clever cocktails.

A Familiar Favourite, Evolved

While the food’s been upgraded, the soul of Monkey Bar hasn’t changed. It’s still the same ‘living room of the city’ that Bengalureans turn to when they want good food, easy laughter, and great music in the background. The new additions make it even more inviting—whether you’re showing up solo for a snack and a pint or bringing your entire crew for a night out.
