Muro and the Rise of the Slow Bar: A New Way to Sip in Bengaluru

The concept of a slow bar is rising in India, where you slow down the process of making drinks and truly taste them. These spots across India invite you to pause and sip with an unhurried process and conversations.

“Slow bars are like the chef’s table of the coffee world - deliberate, personal, and rooted in care. Watching coffee being brewed invites stillness, curiosity, and connection, much like mindful eating,” says Chef Radhika Khandelwal.

Thoughtful Mixology at Muro

At Muro, Bengaluru, cocktails deserve the same care as coffee and matcha. Co-founder Niharika Raval says, “We wanted to create an experience that’s deliberate and thoughtful rather than rushed. And something that excites me most is that we’re not afraid to be playful."

Whether it’s a highball that tastes like a Dorito or a cocktail that shifts temperature on your palate, the goal at Muro is simple: to make people feel something.
