About Curated Bar & Beverage Program
Drinks With a Twist
At Lupa, a bar program isn't just about what’s on the menu - it's about the whole vibe. We’re always messing around with flavours, mixing old-school cocktails and new tricks like fat-washing or clarification. Our menus look more like a scrapbook than a drinks list - every page has a story, every ingredient has a reason.
Signature Rituals
Ever tried a Tableside Martini? Bengaluru’s first, and it’s a whole mood. I show up at your table, make your drink with our house-made vermouth and pop in those bright Sicilian lemons. You pick your bitters - cacao, walnut, orange, or coffee. Midway, I’ll swap your glass for a frozen one so your martini stays icy. That’s our thing.
Always Something New
The cocktail lab is where I get restless. I switch up menus for every season - autumn gets ‘A Season in Sepia’, Christmas and Valentine’s get their own spreads. You might catch a peanut butter-washed Tequila brunch cocktail or a clear-as-day Piña Colada. For big events like Negroni Week, I go wild with Pantone-inspired drinks. I also team up with brands for tasting nights - think Godawan or Johnnie Walker.
Our Secret Cellar
There’s an underground wine cellar - literally. 12 seats, climate-controlled, tucked away. I pull bottles from Bordeaux, Tuscany, Penfolds in Australia, and host ‘In Vino Veritas’ dinners. Meet winemakers, try wild pairings, and just soak in the good vibes.
Bengaluru Bar Life
The heart of Lupa is our crowd. Friday ‘SWITCH’ nights are all about live bands, DJs, and the energy. Our bar deck is where people come together, try new drinks, and just chill. You’ll always find something different to sip, and someone to share it with.

My Story
We’re Lupa. Three years back, MG Road was calling us with its old-school charm, so we built our own Tuscan villa right here. Not just for eating, but for hanging out, jamming, and making memories. Our Bengaluru family keeps growing, and we keep listening, tweaking, evolving. Chefs go wild making everything in-house, and our bar team? They’ll save your drink from ever getting sad. This villa is our heart, and you’re always welcome.
My Work
Fine Dining & Bar - We do European and Mediterranean food, a Prix Fixe lunch, Lupino Sunday Brunch, and loads of pop-ups and live music.
Neighbourhood Tuscan Vibes - Warm, noisy, full of Bengaluru energy. Not just a meal, it’s a real experience—sometimes a party, sometimes a cozy market.
Obsessed Chefs - Menu changes up, ingredients top-notch. House-made 'Nduja sausage, cured bacon, fresh pita—yeah, we’re fussy like that.
Bar with a Twist - Bengaluru’s first table-side Martini experience, quirky drinks, and seasonal specials like Tepache for Tequila Day.
