India has welcomed its first ultra-luxe immersive gaming arcade experience with the grand launch of The Game Palacio at Phoenix Palladium, Mumbai. Spanning over 26,280 sq. ft., the venue marks the 10th outlet of the experiential brand under Prasuk Jain Hospitality Ventures (PJH) and showcases a vision of grandeur, innovation, and elevated leisure.

This outlet redefines the idea of gaming arcades in India, offering six boutique bowling lanes, 80+ advanced arcade games, immersive VR zones, and India’s first-ever in-mall cigar room. With elegant interiors that blend Art Deco charm and old-world casino luxury, it features black marble textures, gold-trimmed archways, emerald lighting, and plush seating surrounding a custom-built 360° island bar.

From reimagined classics like Halo: Fireteam Raven and Tomb Raider to nostalgic favourites like Monopoly Roll-N-Go, the arcade offers entertainment for all ages and moods. Every aspect is designed for sensory indulgence, from mood lighting and architectural detail to curated sound and hospitality.

Culinary excellence matches the setting, with gourmet offerings such as Crabstick & Caviar and Cajun Blaze, and signature cocktails like the smoky Maracuya La Picante.

“The 10th Palacio is more than a location; it's a reflection of our evolution,” said Priyanka Jain, Marketing Director of PJH Ventures. Founder Prasuk Jain added, “Phoenix Palladium is the perfect canvas for our most refined expression yet. As we aim for 50, we are building destinations that echo with imagination and celebration.”

What began five years ago with a bold vision has now become a cultural benchmark. The Game Palacio stands today not merely as a gaming venue but as a luxury lifestyle destination, uniting immersive entertainment, gourmet dining, and nightlife under one iconic roof.

In the heart of Bengaluru’s buzzing nightlife, Tommy’s has officially opened its doors on Old Airport Road, a refreshing return to the no-frills neighbourhood bar that feels as familiar as it is fun.

Tommy’s sits at a location steeped in history, once home to iconic spots like HAL Bar, Krupa’s, and Sai Krupa. Now, the reinvented space brings new energy while honouring its past with kitsch cat memorabilia, nostalgic music posters, and a Rock-Ola jukebox that takes requests, one of just four in India.

“Bangalore has always had a culture of everyday drinking, not in excess, but in ease,” said Sujay Venkatesh, Founder of Tommy’s. “With Tommy’s, we wanted to bring back that spirit of no pretence, just solid food, great drinks, and a place that remembers your regular.”

The vibe inside is unmistakably Bangalore: quirky, cool, and comforting. With sticker-covered windows, cassette-tiled walls, and a popcorn machine reminiscent of old single-screen theatres, the interiors make you smile while you sip.

From cocktails like Tommy’s Margarita, Batanga, and Strawberry Daiquiri to draught beers and rare whiskies, the bar menu is crowd-pleasing and extensive. The food strikes a nostalgic chord too, think egg bhurji, bheja masala, biryani, mutton seekh, and chilli cheese naan bites. It’s comfort food meets classic bar fare.

More than just a watering hole, Tommy’s is designed to be your go-to, whether it’s a quick post-work drink, a lazy weekend unwind, or a spot to let the jukebox play your story. Open seven days a week, it brings back the ease and charm of everyday bars, the kind that remember your name and your drink.

Address: 1st Floor, No.89, AM Plaza, HAL Old Airport Road, Murugeshpalya, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560017.
