Tucked in the heart of Bangalore, this restaurant pays homage to the soul of age-old German breweries through a warm, earthy palette that draws from the rich textures and tones of century-old brewing houses. The brewery’s façade is a deliberate interplay of form, texture, and engagement, conceived not just as a skin but as an invitation. Intertwining terraces weave in and out of the building, reaching toward the vibrant restaurant street below, allowing guests to become both observers and participants in the street’s energy.
Editor’s Note: “Amidst the heart of Bangalore’s vibrant streetscape, this brewery blends heritage with German nostalgia. Textures, terraces, and tales unfold across every level, inviting guests to sip, wander, and wonder. Moreover, it is a place where culture, craft, and community converge into a canvas of intention.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
This Brewery Restaurant in Bangalore Channels The Charm of Old German Brewing Houses | 3Fold design
The architectural concept centered on a dynamic, ribbon-like façade that flows fluidly across different materials—metal, glass, and wood—capturing attention and establishing a bold identity in a visually cluttered context.
The entry into the brewery restaurant is designed as a dramatic and immersive experience, marked by a striking double-height space that immediately captures attention and sets the tone for what lies within. At the heart of this grand entrance stands a sculptural concierge desk—an artistic centerpiece. Towering behind is, a 20-foot weeping water feature wall cascades with a gentle, rhythmic flow, creating a serene ambiance that contrasts beautifully with the energy of the surrounding urban environment. This water wall, visible from the heavily trafficked pedestrian road outside, acts as a living billboard—its movement, sound, and scale drawing curious onlookers inward. Together, these elements create a bold and inviting threshold that blurs the boundary between street and sanctuary.
The interiors effortlessly blends tradition with modernity, most notably at the bar, where laser-cut natural wood panels intricately depict “hops,” interwoven with elegant brass accents—a tactile tribute to the ingredients and tools of beer craftsmanship. The heart of the space is the expansive glass-enclosed brewery. It serves not only as a visual anchor but also as an immersive element. Thus, allowing guests to experience the brewing process up close. Soaring 30-foot ceilings connect the multiple floors in a seamless visual flow. Additionally, this is enhanced by a cohesive material language that speaks of authenticity and intent.
A grand spiral staircase winds gracefully between the levels. Meanwhile, its hand-painted walls illustrate an imaginative journey through the history and discovery of beer, adding a whimsical narrative element. The seating plan caters to inclusivity, with a thoughtful range of options that accommodate varied body types and group sizes. Moreover, it strikes a balance between comfort and aesthetic appeal.
The upper levels of the brewery restaurant are defined by a dramatic triple-height space. As a result, the design enhances the sense of openness while also creating strong visual connectivity across all three floors. A carefully curated rustic material palette grounds the design. To enhance this aesthetic, it features textured brick tile flooring while bold metallic finishes add character to both the ceiling and the floor. This deliberate contrast of materials is essential, as it creates visual layers that tie the vertically stacked spaces together. At the same time, it emphasizes the individuality of each space.

Given the tight floor plates, circulation becomes a key experiential element. As a result, guests are offered the choice of ascending via a sculptural winding staircase or using ornately clad lifts that serve as both functional necessities and striking design statements. Interspersed throughout the upper levels are intimate outdoor terraces that offer moments of pause. Here, patrons can look down onto the bustling street below and, meanwhile, enjoy the lush green cover that softens the urban surroundings.
Crowning it all is a rooftop terrace that feels like a Mediterranean escape—a striking contrast to the lower levels. Airy, sun-dappled, and open, it features a retractable roof that offers shelter from the summer sun. Meanwhile, it also allows guests to bask in Bangalore’s beloved weather when opened. As the sun sets it transforms into a dance floor as the DJ takes stage.
