Marea Lounge - Bangaluru India

Whether or not you've been hearing buzz about the Marea Bar, Howard Johnson Bengaluru, its great for no-frills classic cocktails or straights. With gorgeous wood finishing, plush seats and dim light, this spot is excellent for night caps, intimate drinks with your mates or even a corporate party.<br/ <br/ Essentially, the sweet sunrise is enhance glass of fresh orange juice. It adds the sweetness of grenadine to offset the tart citrus of orange and because it's served chilled, it's quite refreshing.<br/ <br/ Rum-lovers will enjoy the sweet-and-sour Dirty Mojito. This drink is fun twist on a classic Mojito with a deep, rich flavor from the dark rum that really brings out extra depth and flavor in every sip. Mojito with dark rum is a refreshing drink, great when served with fried fish or chicken kebabs.<br/ <br/ We ended with the Dirty Martini, where classic martini infused with extra vermouth and add olive juice. The dirty secret is the dash of olive brine brings out hint of umami in classic dry gin Martini. The Dirty Martini is strong, bold and interesting drink that will stand up in any evening party with its variation and creativity.

Was going through my mobile photo gallery and found this.<br/ The pic of my stay at Howard Johnson<br/ That night I ordered this tasty Chicken tikka with some Scotch.

A good bar in the area, nice cocktail menu and a brightly lit up bar. Was pleasantly surprised to see Long Beach Iced Tea on the menu. And that one was quite well made. The Tokyo Iced Tea looked great, but wasn't quite made right. Allowing creative license, we didn't mind. Music is quite decent too.

Recently I've been to Marea Bar lounge for the Ladies night with my friends. Marea Bar lounge is part of the popular international chain of hotel group, Howard Johnson. Ladies night happens every Wednesday and we had a great time by enjoying some groovy music and delicious starters. They've got a smaller place compare to Nest or Verve but if you want to sway in style the floor is good enough for that. <br/ <br/ I had a classic Screwdriver drink which is Vodka with Orange juice along with some lip-smacking food. I loved the deviled eggs and other starters like dim sums, golden fried prawns , and beetroot tikki were delicious too. The staffs here are very courteous and friendly which makes you feel like going to this place again and again. Next on my list is to attend the live band performance which happens every Saturday at HoJo. Overall a nice place to grab a drink and relax by enjoying some nice music

Delicious food and courteous staff
