On a Date with Monkey

The newest addition to indiranagar's gastro pub scene is Monkey Bar  the quirky and fun filled mobar serves tasty food and  fast drinks in a laid back environment. 

On a chirpy Saturday afternoon I was invited by MOBar on a lunch date which is located in a friendly neighborhood.

Walk into the place the shabby chic decor made me feel at home Exposed brick walls, Hard wood floors, Chalkboard Doodles, Picture Collages natural and mismatched lighting made the place look hip and chic.the space is split across two levels well equipped bars and comfy seating arrangements are followed at both levels the foosball and pool table is more of an invitation to unwind over an after-work beer than a game center. 

As we bloggers settled down a bit and got chit chatty they recommended few of their signature drinks and starters...

Mangaa and Copper Monkey were served to me i am not a heavy drinker as i love the concept of using nutella jars and copper tumblers they looked quit innovative...a few gulps of mangaa re energized my spirits
