We Indians take our cricket very seriously. The summer months of 2019 have been built up to a fever pitch of anticipation. If you don’t know the reason, then that’s a big lonely rock you are living under. While sometimes we may like to watch the world cup sitting in the comfort of our homes, wearing our lucky pajamas, munching on chips and popcorn; other times, we like to soak in the atmosphere, sit in a charged atmosphere along with a group of friends cheering for our favorite team (The boys in blue duh) with a pint of beer in hand. We have picked up some of our favourite sports bars in Bangalore for you to enjoy this World Cup with your buddies, where you can reach by booking a car on rent in Bangalore. Don’t forget to don your favorite team’s jersey.
