The 13th Floor is a rooftop lounge bar on the 13th floor of Barton Centre, 84 MG Road, inside Hotel Ivory Tower, Bengaluru. It pairs open-air views across the city with a cocktail menu built on Indian ingredients, and shares its kitchen with Ebony and ASEAN On The Edge, so the full food menu is available at the bar. It is open from noon until late, and entry is for guests aged 21 and over. For reservations, call +91 80 4178 3355.
A Rooftop With an Unobstructed View of the City
The 13th Floor sits on the rooftop of Barton Centre, with open spaces clad in glass and brushed steel that give an undiluted view across central Bengaluru and the sky above. It sits above one of the busiest stretches of MG Road, yet the traffic fades to a soft hum at this height. The view is what most guests remember, and it is at its best through sunset and into the early evening. The terrace catches the evening breeze, so a light layer is a good idea from October through February. Music stays at conversation-level volume, a mix of retro pop, rock ballads, and lounge.
A Cocktail Menu Built on Indian Ingredients
The cocktail programme takes ingredients most Indian guests grew up with, such as raw mango, fermented plum, and pickled mango ginger, and reworks them into contemporary drinks. Alongside the cocktails there is a wine list and a range of wine and champagne cocktails, so first-time drinkers have something to start with too. These five are a good place to begin:
- Bangkok Sour: Vodka, coconut, chilli, kaffir lime, and lemongrass soda, built to read like the top notes of a Thai kitchen.
- Aam Panna Party: Vodka, raw mango, lychee, and mint, the summer cooler given a cocktail frame.
- Pickled Up Picante: Agave, pickled mango ginger, gooseberry, and grapefruit. Savoury, sharp, and slow to finish.
- The Naughty Plum: Agave, fermented plum, and jalapeño, with an earthy sourness and a gentle warmth on the finish.
- Jack The Ripper: Jackfruit, pandan, sesame, cinnamon, and milk-washed whisky, the most complex drink on the list and one to end the evening on.
Food From the Kitchens Next Door
Because all three outlets share the 13th floor, guests at The 13th Floor can order from the full Ebony and ASEAN On The Edge menus alongside the bar's own snacks, appetizers, and platters. That range is rare for a rooftop bar. The Kakori Kebab, a silky, fine-ground lamb kebab, is the dish most regulars order first, and the Burmese Khaoswe from the ASEAN menu travels well to the bar.
