Thanks to the traffic scene, the ‘town’ part of Bangalore is usually nostalgia territory. However, every once in a while, an opportunity presents itself. This time, when we were around Kundalahalli at midday, Google Maps indicated that the central district was only half an hour away. Since such fortune is rare, we quickly decided to try a place recommended by a colleague of mine. That’s how we landed up at the Laughing Llama Gastropub.
It’s on Brigade Road, rather the extension of that towards Richmond Road. Very near to an old favourite that shut down a while ago. The bright yellow pop on the road is hard to miss and a yellow door takes you straight into Llama land. The decor has a load of Llama puns, and merchandise to boot. The space has been done up quite well – some diner seating and some standard long tables, a few bar stools, and a really narrow smoking section which is literally between two walls! The overall decor is lively, I really liked how they have converted drinking water into a DIY. (check the pic below)
