Like each city has a culture of it's own, Bangalore has become synonymous with beer lovers and fine pubs. The latest rave these days is of brew pubs which serve fresh beer, good food and a fine ambiance. There are nearly a dozen brew pubs across city now.
After reading and hearing a lot about Windmill Craftworks at Whitefield, we decided to visit it on a sunday afternoon.
Though we went without reservation, we were able to get a table.
They have seating both inside and outdoors. The inside of the place is like a library with a lot of books stacked up on the walls.
On one end is a small stage for performances etc, and on the other is the bar.
Large glass windows on one end allow ample natural light to enter and give the place a lively feel.
They brew about 6-7 varieties of beer and we tried the sampler with 5 varieties.
The servings were not too small and the beer tasted nice and fresh.
Of course everyone will not like all the flavours but it was largely very good.
We also tried some of the cocktails, which were not bad either. Don't remember the names now though.
Each item on the ipad menu, both food and drink is explained in detail along with images which helps in selection.
The beers were good and fresh, and the starters we ordered namely crispy honey potatoes and corn spinach tikka were quite good, a bit bland though. The potatoes had a very nice flavour with a slightly sweetish glaze and the taste remains etched in my mind.
For the main course i tried the Salmon Verde but to my disappointment it was grossly undercooked and tasteless.
Service is good and value for money factor is not bad either.
The ambiance of the place is lovely, it is quiet and very decent, rather upmarket and classy.
If you are looking for good meal and conversation to go with your beer, this is a perfect place. Not noisy at all.
Though my main dish was a disappointment, i'll give them the benefit of doubt for making a poor dish and would love to visit it again sometime soon.
