Tucked into a bustling street, near one of Bangalore’s most well-known landmarks- Wind Tunnel Road, this cutting-edge neighbourhood kitchen and bar is sure to be an instant crowd favourite. Bringing back memories of the good Old Days of the pub culture on Wind Tunnel Road, which once had some of the most happening resto bars in the city.
“Precisely from 2013, I’ve aspired to have a bar of my own some day and this happened. The idea was to create something diverse and unique for people, for their kids as well as their pets that’s well suited for any occasion. It’s been almost two years that my brother Gautam and I have been working on bringing Gawky Goose to life and we have left no stone unturned.
The design concept of Gawky Goose drew inspiration from your typical Irish pub with undertones of local tropical greens. It’s stunning, whereas the food menu is an eclectic mix of world cuisine with regional twists. We’ve got some regional twist to the cocktail menu aswell while bringing back some long forgotten classics, there is something special for everyone”, Says Dr. Kiran Kumar, Director, Gawky Goose, KG Hospitality.
As you enter the property, you step into an outdoor seating space lined with aromatic ferns and pines that features exposed brickwork with a transparent glazed ceiling, canopied by dense raintrees and a waterfall fountain is just about perfect for a day out with your four-legged friends.
The highlight feature of this pub is a massive emerald green and brass embellished bar that is flanked on either side by intricately detailed brass and emerald green columns.
The feel of the space spread over a sprawling 14,000 sq. ft is further enhanced by your typical English and European setup with plush seaters, natural wooden tables and a pop of yellow with strategically positioned chesterfields and wing backs that are placed upon a curated combination of pattern and cement tile flooring.The interior seating area is physically separated from the outdoor spaces by a channel of glazed partitions that maintains a continuous visual connect between the two.
A unique roof profile defines the outdoor deck with planters running along the edge which further adds to the tropical theme that is well encapsulated by all the elements of the pub.
The amalgamation of indoor and outdoor spaces caters to both a sunny and rainy day.
