Three Private Party Spaces on MG Road, Bangalore Under One Roof

For a private party of 30 to 60 guests on MG Road, Hotel Ivory Tower at 84 MG Road offers three distinct private spaces in a single building at Barton Centre: Ebony for Pan-Indian dining, ASEAN On The Edge for South-East Asian, and The 13th Floor for cocktail-led celebrations. Each space carries a different cuisine identity and service style, which lets event organisers match the venue to the occasion.

Most central Bangalore venues offer a single private dining room within a single cuisine. Hotel Ivory Tower lets a host pick the cuisine and atmosphere first, then build the private booking around that choice, without leaving Barton Centre or coordinating across multiple vendors.

ASEAN On The Edge: Full Restaurant for Private Group Dinners of 30 to 70 Guests

For groups of 30 to 40 guests, the entire ASEAN On The Edge restaurant is given over to the booking. The party gets full use of the South-East Asian dining room without partitions or shared seating with walk-in guests. The cap sits comfortably in the 60 to 70 guest range.

The arrangement suits corporate dinners, family functions, milestone birthdays, and engagement dinners where the host wants the privacy of a dedicated venue without coordinating an off-site space. The full menu is available: Burmese Khao Suey, Akasaka Prawns, Dan Dan Noodles, Malacca Curry with Roti Jala, Vietnamese Pho, and the wider South-East Asian range. The table can also cross-order from Ebony and The 13th Floor in the same sitting.

The team can pre-set menus, handle dietary requests, and coordinate course pacing for the group in advance.

Ebony: Private Dining for 30 to 60 Guests, with Lunch Buyouts for 100 to 150

Ebony, the Pan-Indian multi-cuisine restaurant on the 13th floor of Barton Centre, hosts private dining bookings for groups from 30 guests. The booking is structured as a private group reservation within the restaurant, not a buyout, which lets the table sit alongside Ebony's regular evening service.

The Ebony signature menu covers the dishes the restaurant is best known for: Kakori Kebab, Arcot Lamb Chops, Ebony's Ultimate Butter Chicken made with a blend of imported sun-blushed Italian and San Marzano tomatoes, Dahi Ke Kebab, and Dilliwale Tawa Paneer. The cuisine spans Pan-Indian with a North Indian and Mughlai focus, alongside Chinese options and a strong vegetarian section, making Ebony the strongest fit for multi-generational family events and mixed-preference corporate tables.

Ebony has been operating since 1993, which gives the kitchen and service team the continuity that occasion dining rewards. Multiple group tables of 10 to 20 guests run nightly, so the service operations are calibrated for the rhythm a 30-to-60-guest booking introduces.

Ebony Lunch Buyouts Are Available for 100 to 150 Guests. Dinner Buyouts Are Not.

Ebony offers full restaurant buyouts at lunch for groups of 100 to 150 guests. This suits corporate town halls, large family functions, post-wedding lunches, and conference catering. The lunch buyout gives the event organiser exclusive use of the dining room and terrace for the duration of the meal.

Dinner buyouts are not offered at Ebony. The evening service is preserved for regular guests, including the multiple group tables that book nightly. Hosts looking for an evening event at comparable scale can book a private dinner at Ebony or ASEAN On The Edge within the 30-to-60-guest range, or a multi-space booking that spans all three outlets.

The 13th Floor Rooftop Bar: Cocktail-Led Group Celebrations with a City-Skyline View

The 13th Floor, Hotel Ivory Tower's rooftop lounge bar, can be arranged for private group celebrations on request, particularly for events built around cocktails, anniversary toasts, milestone birthday celebrations, and engagement parties.

The cocktail programme is built on Indian and South-East Asian ingredients, with five anchor drinks: Bangkok Sour, Aam Panna Party, Pickled Up Picante, The Naughty Plum, and Jack The Ripper. The bar carries 14 beers on tap. Lift access runs all the way to the 13th floor, keeping the rooftop accessible for older guests and small children attending celebrations. The city-skyline view across central Bangalore gives evening events a visual centrepiece without staging effort from the host.

How Bar Service Works for Private Parties at Hotel Ivory Tower: Bottles by the Bottle, Cocktails at No Surcharge

Bar service for private events at Hotel Ivory Tower is priced separately from the food package. Two structural details distinguish it from standard hotel-banquet bar pricing.

Bottles are billed individually. The host books alcohol by the bottle rather than as part of a fixed-cost beverage package. The alcohol invoice maps directly to what was opened during the event, which gives the host control over both the spend and the brands served.

Cocktails are mixed without a per-cocktail surcharge. Once the host's bottles are booked for the event, the bar mixes cocktails using that alcohol at no additional service charge. Most hotel banquet bars layer a per-cocktail cost on top of the bottle price. Hotel Ivory Tower does not. The bar bill stays predictable and largely under the host's control, which is one of the reasons the private-event bar setup suits corporate hosts and family events with extended bar service.

Why Hotel Ivory Tower's Three-Outlet Setup Is Different from Other MG Road Venues

Most central Bangalore private-event venues offer one cuisine and one private space within one venue. Hotel Ivory Tower runs three distinct cuisines across three private-event-capable outlets in a single building stack at Barton Centre, 84 MG Road.

A single host can match the cuisine to the occasion: Pan-Indian for a multi-generational dinner at Ebony, South-East Asian for a corporate dinner at ASEAN On The Edge, or cocktail-led at The 13th Floor for a milestone toast. Or they can split a longer celebration across spaces: cocktails at The 13th Floor, dinner at Ebony or ASEAN On The Edge, after-dinner drinks back at the rooftop bar, all without leaving the building. For event organisers, this reduces vendor coordination from multiple venues to one address.
