Indiranagar is probably one of the easiest places in Bengaluru to plan a bar crawl without making the whole evening a logistical nightmare. A lot of the popular drinking spots are around 100 Feet Road and 12th Main, which means you can actually walk between some of them instead of spending half the night sitting in an Uber.
But here is the thing with a bar crawl, you don't need to finish a full drink at every stop. That's a very quick way of ending the night before it has even started.
The better plan is to start around 6 PM, have something small at the first couple of places, eat along the way and leave the bigger cocktail stop for later. Five bars is honestly more than enough.
Toit is an obvious starting point, but there is a reason it keeps showing up on Bengaluru drinking lists. The Indiranagar brewpub is right on 100 Feet Road and has its own beers, proper pub food and a big, lively space.
I'd start here around 6 PM, before the evening gets properly crowded. Have one beer, maybe some food for the table, and don't rush off immediately.
Address: 298, 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar, Bengaluru 560038
Timings: 8:30 AM to 1 AM
Approx price: Around INR 1,800 for two
From Toit, head towards Bob's Bar. It's not far, and this is where the crawl can become a little more relaxed.
Bob's has a very different personality from the bigger breweries. It's casual, straightforward and doesn't feel like you're supposed to dress up for the occasion. The Indiranagar outlet is on 100 Feet Road, so it fits neatly into the route.
I'd probably keep this stop short. One drink, some bar food if you're hungry, and then move on.
Address: 777/I, 100 Feet Road, HAL 2nd Stage, Doopanahalli, Indiranagar, Bengaluru 560008
Timings: 11:30 AM to 1 AM
Approx price: Around INR 1,600 for two with alcohol

This is where I'd change things up a bit and get another beer or a cocktail rather than ordering exactly what you had at Bob's. Jook is a rooftop gastropub on 100 Feet Road, with a more polished setting, cocktails, DJ nights and live entertainment.
This is probably the point where you should actually sit down for a while. A crawl doesn't have to mean constantly moving.
Address: 3, 4th Floor, Smart Square Complex, 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar, Bengaluru 560038
Timings: 12 PM to midnight, Friday and Saturday until 1 AM
Approx price: Around INR 2,000 for two with alcohol
Once you're done with 100 Feet Road, head towards 12th Main and make The Reservoire your fourth stop. The Reservoire is spread across multiple floors and has a large cocktail-focused setup with a rooftop area. It feels more like a proper night-out destination compared with the casual beginning of the crawl.
Address: No. 949, 3rd and 4th Floor, 12th Main Road, HAL 2nd Stage, Indiranagar, Bengaluru 560038
Timings: 11 AM to 1 AM
Approx price: Around INR 2,500 to INR 3,000 for two, depending on food and drinks

And finally, call it a night at Daddy’s and it is also on 12th Main, so you don't have to make some ridiculous cross-city journey for the final stop. Daddy has a larger bar setup and is better suited to the later part of the evening, when everyone has settled into the night.
Address: 963, 12th Main Road, HAL 2nd Stage, Doopanahalli, Indiranagar, Bengaluru 560008
Timings: 12 PM to 1 AM
Approx price: Around INR 2,200 to INR 2,500 for two
The nice thing about this route is that it doesn't feel like you're ticking places off a list. The first half is more casual, then the mood gets a little more cocktail-heavy towards 12th Main. If everyone is still going strong by the time you reach Daddy, great. If not, you've still had a pretty solid Indiranagar night.

If I were actually planning this crawl, I'd start at Toit around 6 PM, keep Bob's short, spend a little more time at Jook, then move towards 12th Main for The Reservoire and Daddy.
And I'd genuinely avoid trying to drink properly at all five places. Share a beer, order smaller serves where possible, eat something between stops and drink water along the way.
