Legend of Rock

Legend of Rock - An excellent pub in Koramangla, playing amazing rock music and has great crowd.

I went there yesterday, with my husband and one of his friends. LOR is know for its great music. They had a special event going on yesterday - They were playing live music after months.

We made a reservation for 7.30. The place was partly filled when we reached and the waiter showed us to our seats. I have to tell you this, we had the best view! We were sitting right next to the band and we had elevated seats. The next time I go there, I am going to ask for the same seats. The only seats better than ours would be two bar stools, right in front of the band.

When we reached, the band was just getting ready. They were checking the speakers, adjusting the volume and putting up more cables. While they did that, we ordered for Fries and Chilli Paneer. We were really hungry so I cannot comment on the taste much. The Paneer was ok, but the fries were average. The portions were too small. We also called for a pitcher of beer (In draught, they have only Fosters). The pitcher was for Rs.275, which is very decent. They also had an option to call for a 3 litre can which was for Rs.550. We did not go for that, but we saw it on another table and it was really interesting. It was plastic tower, looked like a smoothie machine and had a tap on the bottom - How cool is that!

Ashish, the owner of the place introduced the band - The Bourbon Street. The lead guy was Fidel, who was on the base guitar. The lead guitarist was Chester and he was really good. On the keyboard was Bharat and he was Oh-My-God amazing. Finally Sudhakar was playing the drums. They were playing at a pub for the first time - And believe me, they were unbelievable! They played Jazz, which included a few originals. After a while, a female called Sangeeta played classic Carnatic music on her Violin and the Bourbon Street mixed it up with their music. The fusion was mesmerizing. The Bourbon Street continued with there songs later on. It was 9.30PM, when they stopped playing and they rocked the crowd! We ordered pitcher after pitcher and also a plate of Non-Veg Platter in between (The platter sucked!).

The bill came out be Rs.1601 which was really really cheap for the refreshing music and the non-stop beer.

LOR is going to have more Live Bands every Sunday evening now and I am going to try and not miss many!

Out of 5, Here's how I would rate the place
Ambience - 5
Service - 4.5
Presentation - 3
Taste - 3
Drinks - 5

Value for money - 5

Parking Tip - Take a left after the LOR building and go into the small street. You can drive for a few meters and find a parking space, in front of the shops. Koramangla has a lot of small alleys and taking a quick turn would always help to find a parking place.

Location - Koramangala 80Ft Road, in front of Petrol Pump next to Pizza Hut
On the Map - Legend Of Rock
