Chin Lung Brewery, a legendary name in Bangalore’s hospitality landscape since 1960, has opened the doors to its grandest venture yet: a sprawling 15,000sqft flagship outlet in Marathalli. Boasting a phenomenal 650-seat capacity, this new destination is poised to transform East Bangalore’s social and dining scene by seamlessly combining the brand’s rich heritage with contemporary brewing and culinary innovation.
A Legacy Reimagined for Today’s Guests
For over six decades, Chin Lung Brewery has been more than just a watering hole; it’s a cultural touchstone for generations. The new Marathalli outlet marks a significant milestone in the brand’s expansion, reflecting a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Designed by Studio Camarada, the venue thoughtfully integrates cozy dining spaces, plush lounges, and an expansive outdoor beer garden, all enhanced by state-of-the-art brewing equipment visible through dramatic glass partitions. This immersive setting allows guests to witness the art of craft brewing up close.
Craft Brewing Mastery & Innovative Menu
The outlet’s craft brewing program is at the heart of the Chin Lung experience. Featuring house-brewed IPAs, smooth wheat beers, fruit-infused varieties, and seasonal specialties, each brew is meticulously crafted using temperature-controlled systems to ensure consistency and quality. Guests can also enjoy expertly curated food and beer pairings, with highlights such as the legendary Roti pe Bhoti and a signature Asian-inspired culinary lineup, thoughtfully curated to complement the diverse brews. Beyond beer, the bar offers a premium selection of craft cocktails, an extensive range of LIITs, gin and tonics, and global spirits for every palate.
Destination for Community, Hospitality, and Memorable Experiences
Strategically located in one of Bangalore’s fastest-growing IT and residential hubs, the Marathalli flagship is tailor-made for its bustling surroundings. Whether accommodating after-work gatherings, weekend get-togethers, corporate events, or family celebrations, the flexible seating zones and vibrant ambiance create a welcoming atmosphere for all.
Founder’s Vision: “More Than Just Beer”
Founder Prajwal Lokesh describes the outlet as a “love letter to this incredible city and its people.” For Lokesh, Chin Lung’s mission has always been about more than serving beer: “It’s about nurturing connections, creating memories, and being the heart of community across generations. Every pint poured at Marathalli carries forward the warmth and spirit that have defined us for 65 years”.
Embracing Trends & Looking Forward
The new outlet responds to evolving consumer preferences, offering flexible dining formats, innovative brewing processes, and high-energy event programming. As Chin Lung continues to expand—adding to their successful locations in Indiranagar, Residency Road, New Bel Road, Koramangala, and Gandhinagar—the Marathalli flagship stands as a testament to Bangalore’s vibrant pub culture and the enduring popularity of thoughtfully crafted experiences.
