Bengaluru’s Church Street is no stranger to pub crawls, but we at unsobered stumbled (and stood) upon a little gem that redefines no-frills drinking. Picture this: no bar stools, no drama, just pegs, bottles, chakna, and a whole lot of pre-game energy. Welcome to Pegs n Bottles — the standing bar where sitting is optional but fun is mandatory.
So here’s how it works. You don’t buy drinks at the bar. Nope. You grab your booze from the adjacent liquor shop (which, might we add, has a fantastic variety – we scored those nostalgia-packed Old Monk tetra packs), and then slide into the bar through a nondescript corridor.
Pay ₹100 at the door and boom – you’re inside. That entry fee? It’s not just a fee, it’s a feast. It gets you two chakna options and a water bottle (hydration station, anyone?). No cocktail theatrics, no bartenders juggling shakers – just pure, unfiltered peg-life.
The space is compact, the music’s banging, and the crowd? A delightful mix of college kids, startup folks, and bar-hop veterans. It's the kind of place where you start your night with rum in a tetra pack and end up swapping playlists with strangers.
There are a few chairs for those who can't commit to the stand-and-sip lifestyle, but trust us – the best stories happen while you’re on your feet.

Let’s be real. Before you hit the high-end rooftop bars with their mood lighting and moodier menus, Pegs n Bottles is the place to loosen up – both your wallet and your social inhibitions.
It’s the bar equivalent of catching a rickshaw instead of a cab – fast, cheap, and somehow more memorable.
The Address (for when Google Maps fails):
30, Church St, Opp. SBI, Shanthala Nagar, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru 560001
Pegs n Bottles isn’t trying to be fancy. It’s trying to be fun – and absolutely nails it. Whether you’re starting your Saturday night or just need a quick, affordable chill zone mid-week, this standing bar deserves a stop. unsobered certified: come for the prices, stay for the vibes, leave with great stories (and maybe , crumbs).
