Bar Sama

★ 4.5 · 125 reviews Bengaluru Opened 2025

50 seats and a Cat Bite Club collaboration

Bar Sama's long-term collaboration with Singapore's Cat Bite Club is their first project in India, and it shows in a room split in two. Studio Grain's Pronoti Chabbi built a dusty green and charcoal front room with art deco grilles behind a 65-foot glass facade, then a softer back room with fabric panels and floral wall art.

The drinks lean agave and fresh produce, almost everything made in house. Eve's Afternoon mixes green apple and prosecco, The Last Drop twists a Manhattan with cacao nibs and burnt sugar, and The Chilli On comes with a tincture on the side so you set your own heat. Chef-partner Vichita Kumar's White Lotus beef salad and soft-shell crab jungle curry are the two dishes to order.

    Outstandingly good — love the layout & interiors. The food was a 10/10 - every order was stunningly good. The dirty rice , pork skewers, the chips & dip - the beef noodles - all just fantastic. The drinks were also very cool. Service , music & overall experience- very classy — my new haunt

    Bar Sama had been on my list for a while, and it didn’t disappoint. Great cocktails, amazing food, and warm hospitality. Do try their version of Negroni and the Last Drop cocktail. Special thanks to Abhishek for introducing us to Bar Sama’s signature gin-shot ritual and to Piana for the great recommendations. It made the experience even more memorable!

    📍Bar Sama, Ulsoor The bar scene and the chef-led restaurants has been such a delight for the diners in Bangalore off-late. It’s amazing to experience the fun and creative side of the food and drinks. Bar Sama has been on the list to try since they opened, mainly because I was fascinated to check out their collab with Cat Bite Club, Singapore. For the cocktail lovers, it’s an elevated experience with the fresh and new mixes of the amazingly potent drinks given a twist with the local ingredients. The drinks are no doubt the star!! 🌟 Added charm are the Thai inspired bar bites and mains given a fun and elevated twist by the uber talented Chef Vichita. The food equally blows the mind away, given a well rounded flavour profile with interesting local ingredients thrown in. What we tried : Drinks : Cashew Later - very refreshing summery Tikki drink that’s fresh, nutty and tropical. Was a perfect company for the hot afternoon. Billy’s Remedy - a bold whiskey based drink with ginger and citrus undertones. Sweet and sharp if that’s your take on the drinks. They even let us try shooters on the house, a very interesting Kokum one with a kick of chilli. Can’t recall the name, but it was fantastic!! Food : Kra-Pao Potato Chips - freshly fried thin potato wafers served with spicy sweet Kra pao sauce. Quite interesting Yum Sum Oh! - this was a mind blowing salad with pomelo, tender coconut and local avarebele (hyacinth beans) - who would have thought of this combination ever! The dressing added a lot of oomph!! Basil Gra-Pao Chicken Wings - boneless chicken wings with a filling of minced basil chicken, Roast Chicken Khao Soi - the curry broth was the star !! The crispy roast chicken with a scoop of egg noodles, dash of spiciness from the local curd chilli and the crunch of Murukku was a stellar with each bite!! Dirty Fried Rice with Broccoli - spicy, hearty and all things nice! What’s not to love about the jasmine rice with a kick of Thai spice. Dessert : Sweet Nostalgia - a very light Choux Pastry with a coconut & lemon filling. Perfect light sweet ending to an amazing afternoon. Overall, it was a very delightful afternoon spent with amazing food and super creative sips!! ♥️♥️

    Recently Visited  for lunch this cocktail bar to try their Modern Thai food along with Cocktail & Mocktail,😊😉 👉Atmosphere - Very cozy; good music. 👉Service - Top notch. 👉For a bar:  the choices of cocktails & mocktails were very limited 👉Cost per cocktail was no value for money. One of the whiskey based cocktails tasted like cough syrup. No unique flavours or presentation or experience. 👉 Food was somewhat unique & flavourful ✨ Note : Very Expensive Cocktails, Mocktails, Very less options to choose, very small portion for the amount we pay Tired Small plates honestly they were very small in portion suitable for 1 or 2 persons only 👉Night Market Moo Ping (Pork Skewers) - 3/5 ₹ 375 👉Moo Gong Toast ( Prawns & Pork ) - 3/5 👉 Scallop & Cold Noodle Salad : 3/5 👉Soft Shell Crab : 4/5 👉Basil Gra-Pao Chicken Wings : 4/5 👉 Cocktails: 3/5 👉Lime Soda : 3/5 ₹289 Honestly this place is  recommended to people who love exploring cocktails & Thai food, Price is exceptional whoever can spend
