If there's one pub that defines Bangalore's craft beer revolution, it's Toit. Since 2010, this Indiranagar institution has been setting the standard for what a brewpub should be — and it's still the best place to experience Bangalore's beer culture.
The Beer
The beer is brewed on-site, and the rotating taps mean there's always something new to try. The Toit Weiss (a refreshing wheat beer) and Tintin Toit (a Belgian-style strong ale) are legends for good reason. But don't sleep on the Basmati Blonde or their seasonal specials.
With 8 core beers and rotating seasonal brews, Toit takes craft beer seriously. The brewmasters experiment constantly, and if you're lucky, you might catch a limited release.
The Vibe
Beyond the beer, Toit gets the pub experience right: good food, energetic crowds, and a buzz that never dies down. It's always packed, especially on weekends — get there early or prepare to wait.
The two-floor layout means you can find a spot that suits your mood. Downstairs is louder and more social; upstairs offers slightly more intimate seating. On weekends, both floors are shoulder-to-shoulder by 9 PM.
What to Order
- Toit Weiss — Light, refreshing wheat beer. Perfect starter.
- Tintin Toit — Strong ale with Belgian notes. The crowd favorite.
- Basmati Blonde — Unique Indian-inspired brew with basmati rice.
- Buffalo Wings — Possibly the best in Bangalore.
- Pulled Pork Sliders — Great with a cold beer.
Pro Tips
- Get there by 7 PM on weekends to avoid the wait.
- The second floor is slightly less chaotic.
- Happy hours (3-7 PM) offer great deals on select beers.
- They have a Koramangala location too if Indiranagar is packed.
The Verdict
Toit isn't just a brewpub — it's a Bangalore institution. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a great night out, this is the place to be. After 14 years, it's still the gold standard.
