Indiranagar Social: A Bungalow, Three Floors and the Longest Day in Bengaluru

“A repurposed bungalow with three floors, moody seventies decor, neon lights, graffiti, and a speakeasy bar on the first floor. It is like a house party hub.”

• A diner's description, which is more accurate than anything the brand has written about itself

Indiranagar Social is a cafe, co working space and bar at Plot 37, 80 Feet Road, HAL 3rd Stage, Indiranagar, open from around nine in the morning until half past midnight, serving North Indian, Korean, Mexican, Chinese and fusion food with cocktails and draft beer, rated around 4.2 for dining from nearly 3,800 ratings, at roughly 1,500 to 2,000 rupees for two.

Social's whole idea is that one room should work all day. It is a cafe at ten, a co working desk at noon, a lunch spot at two and a bar at nine, which the brand packages as a blend of cafe, co working space and bar.

The Indiranagar outlet is the one with the best building. Three floors of a converted bungalow, seventies decor, graffiti, neon, private lounges and a speakeasy bar, which is a more interesting space than most purpose built restaurants on this road.

What follows is the practical guide. Which floor, what to drink, what the new menu is actually good at, what it costs, and the one complaint that comes up again and again.

What Is Indiranagar Social?

Indiranagar Social is an outlet of the Social chain, described by the brand as the favourite hangout spot of youth in Bengaluru, combining a cafe, a co working space and a bar in one venue with affordable food and a programme of events.

The co working part is real, not marketing. Wifi, long tables, power, a nine in the morning opening and food service through the day mean people genuinely work here, which is why the room feels entirely different at eleven in the morning than it does at eleven at night.

The building carries it. Diners describe a stunning space, a repurposed bungalow with three floors, seventies decor, neon, graffiti and a speakeasy bar on the first floor, with the room reading as a house party hub rather than a restaurant.

What Should I Drink at Indiranagar Social?

Drink the Long Island Iced Tea. Social's LIIT menu is what regulars call legendary, alongside a large selection of draft beers described as smooth and well balanced, plus signature cocktails and mocktails.

• Long Island Iced Tea. The house institution. Social built a whole menu of variants and it is the drink the chain is known for nationally.
• Draft beer. A big selection and the best value order for a long evening. Described repeatedly as well balanced.
• Signature cocktails. Reviewers call them perfectly mixed, which is not a given in a venue operating at this volume.
• Mocktails. Genuinely good by multiple accounts, which matters in a bar this large where not everyone drinks.
• Cold coffee and iced tea. The daytime order. This is the half of the menu that serves the laptop crowd and it works.

The honest caveat on drinks. One diner rated the drinks three out of five and called them slightly on the expensive side. That is the standard Indiranagar bar complaint, and the answer is the same as everywhere else, drink draft beer or check the dining app for a discount first.

“The drink menu at Social Indiranagar is fantastic. Huge selection of draft beers, signature cocktails, and mocktails. The place is massive.”

• A regular, summarising both the appeal and the scale

What Should I Eat at Indiranagar Social?

Order from the fusion side of the new menu. Social's current menu leads with Nihari Ramen, Toast e Galawati served street style, an Egg Tuck breakfast dish and Seoul flavours given a desi twist, and that cross wiring is the most interesting cooking in the building.

• Nihari Ramen. Slow cooked nihari meets a ramen bowl. Exactly the kind of idea that should not work and does. The flagship of the new menu.
• Toast e Galawati. Galawati kebab served street style on toast. The most Lucknow thing on a menu that also does Korean.
• Egg Tuck. The breakfast order, and a reminder that this kitchen is open from nine in the morning.
• Prawn ghee roast. The dish guests rave about most in the review record. Coastal, spicy, and the best thing to order with beer.
• Tandoori pizza and tandoori chicken tikka. The reliable crowd orders, both named repeatedly as well cooked.
• Butter prawns. Listed alongside the tandoori dishes as a standout. Seafood is quietly a strength here.
• Momos, kebabs, rolls and biryani. The everyday menu that fills the co working afternoon. Fast, cheap and consistent.
• Desserts. Guests mention unique desserts plus tasty chocolate cake and a good tiramisu. Worth a look rather than a default skip.

The most consistent food complaint is portion size. One diner rated the food four out of five with authentic, flavourful taste but said the portions could definitely be better. For a venue this affordable that is a fair trade, but order an extra plate if the table is hungry.

Can I Work From Indiranagar Social?

Yes, and it is one of the better options in the neighbourhood. The venue is explicitly built as a cafe and co working space as well as a bar, with wifi, a nine in the morning opening and full food service through the day.

Practically, mornings and early afternoons are the working window. By evening the music is up, the floors fill, the TVs are on for whatever match is playing, and the building stops being an office in any useful sense.

For a day of laptop work with lunch and an eventual pivot into drinks, there is genuinely nothing else on 80 Feet Road that does all of it under one roof.

Is Indiranagar Social Expensive?

No, and the dining app discounts make it cheaper. Listings put the estimate at around 1,500 to 2,000 rupees for two, and dining platforms regularly stack restaurant and payment offers that bring the bill down further.

Reviewers describe the pricing as democratic, and the model is clear enough. Affordable food, affordable beer, a building people want to be in, and volume across a sixteen hour day. That is why Social has become the default answer whenever a group of eight cannot agree on anything else.

One warning about ratings. Platform numbers for this outlet range from 3.5 on a two review Tripadvisor listing to 4.2 on Zomato dining across thousands of ratings, with aggregator sites reporting higher still. Trust the large samples, ignore the small ones.

Is Indiranagar Social Worth Visiting?

Yes, for the building, the drinks and the flexibility. Guests describe well trained staff, good service and a lively room with private lounges, and IPL season in particular turns this into one of the busiest venues in the neighbourhood.

• For a big group. The best answer in Indiranagar. Three floors means you will get seated, and the pricing survives a table of ten.
• For working. Genuinely good before about two in the afternoon. Wifi, tables, food, no pressure to leave.
• For match nights. TVs, crowd, draft beer. This is the room for it.
• For a quiet dinner. No. Go somewhere else entirely. The music and the crowd are the product.
• For serious food. Partly. The fusion dishes are interesting and the prawn ghee roast is very good. Portions are the limitation.

My position: Social is infrastructure rather than a restaurant, and Indiranagar's is the best building in the chain. Go in the morning to work, go at nine for the LIITs, and do not expect the same place twice.

Work in the morning, drink in the evening, order one plate more than you planned. Same city, new flavours, always.
