XU - Fashion|Bar|Kitchen - Pub in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

We went to XU for Dandiya Event thinking it's gonna be a great experience as it's under The Leela Palace umbrella... but we had completely opposite experience. We were sold tickets of event on bookmyshow telling the complete money is redeemable but bouncers their denied entry without paying additional 1500 INR per person and the ticket prices were not redeemable at all. We agreed to pay and hoping that we would enjoy the party but as soon as we entered the XU Bar and Kitchen we realised we made a mistake.. The ambience was so below average that it looked less like a Dandiya Event and more like left over cheap Haldi ceremony.. there was weird animal and plant pictures displayed on screen which made no sense... The WASHROOM WAS SMELLING cause the Urinal SENSORS WERE BROKEN...WATER WAS ALL OVER THE FLOOR, MIRROR and VANITY COUNTER. We decided the order food but HALF OF ITEM IN MENU WAS NOT AVAILABLE as if we have come to dhaba and not a five star hotel. The FOOD ARRIVED 90 MINUTES POST ORDERING, THAT TOO BURNED. We had to fight with the bartender/ cashier just the get the food we paid for. The walls were broken and dusty. And the Dandiya music was for just first 30 minutes and later they played Bollywood Disco Music with overwhelming bass.. disgusting.. IT WAS SHEER WASTE OF MONEY. I would not recommend anyone to go over there.

I had an amazing time at the Shanti People party. It was a great night of music, dancing, and fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good time.

The best damn UNDERGROUND PUB in Bangalore. Has ample space for almost 200-300 people. Staff may not be that great at service so be careful. They usually host good parties as well. Place is completely sound Proof and does not disturb anybody so there's a very sender chance of a raid by police. During events the arrange good quality speakers and production. Definite worth a visit only on Saturday and Sunday night. Amazing vibes to match with the decor, so all in all a killer venue to dance your heart out.

Worst Place to go. I won't waste my time convincing people not to go here. But have uploaded few pics to show how pathetic this place is and how dejected they would make you feel. Take your wise call after going through these snaps.

One of the finest kitchen in the bengaluru city. Very vastly spreaded dance floor with good lights and sound quality. Most of the small crowded events and concerts happen here. Located at very basement of one of the famous hotel of bangalore that is the leela palace. Food served are average.

This place was lit. The party was amazing. The entry fee could have been bit cheaper if you enter the place before 9pm despite you buy the ticket. The music was next level and the food options are less im this place. A wonderful place for drinks (expensive) and music and dance.

Couldn't possibly have missed out the Infected Mushroom event hence booked tickets online to attend. Strangely the venue has rules that one cannot carry any sort of drugs inside and people are generally frisked by the security, Only to realise later that people are allowed to smoke everywhere inside the venue. Though there is a designated area for smokers, everyone is allowed to smoke on the dance floor and inside the bar. Infact there are promotors providing free cigarettes to people inside so that they can smoke right there. The experience has left me with remorse. I went there to enjoy the music but the smokers have ensured that the experience is pathetic. The management doesn't care about the health or the safety conditions. I was honestly looking forward to enjoy the evening with one of my favourite bands playing in the city, but I think I have unfortunately wasted my money on this event and I wouldn't visit this venue ever again. We are not in 1970s and I firmly belive that no one should be going through secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke exposure can cause coronary heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and other diseases.

Such a huge disappointment. Worthless food, limited drinks, overcrowded. Anything is better that this place. Was not expecting this from Leela. Fleeced us. No place to sit. No sitting area. Worst experience
