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.
