However, the host of swanky bars and themed establishments it houses, make the neighbourhood worth a visit. Here’s a look at a few on our radar.

Named after an Indian fighter-bomber aircraft that once crashed on its premises – Marathahalli is known for housing Bangalore’s many working professionals.
