New In Town? Here's Five Communities That Will Make You Feel Like A Bangalorean
West Block Blues

Trust us when we say the vibe and energy catching the match live is really something else. Get high on spirits at Arbor Brewing Company and then head on to the stadium to catch the boys in blue in action as you chant along -- Ohwhen the Blues go marching in….
That Extra Step
Shubha and Harihara, along with their mentor Abhay started That Extra Step as a medium to build communities. With the aim to get people from behind their phones to in front of real faces and people, the trio has collaborated with many initiatives to host community-based events and activities. From throwing game nights with Kavade (a traditional games collective) to storytelling sessions with Shylaja Sampath, they are a fresh of breath air amidst mainstream parties over weekends.
Craft & Co.
Bangalore is the city of microbreweries, so what better way to make friends than with the clinking of beers. Started by a beer enthusiast and consultant Beerabet aka Akash Hirebet, Craft & Co. is a community that shares interesting tidbits about the beers in the city along with events that revolve around beer. So in case, you’re interested in getting your spirits high, join this Facebook group.
OpenOut
What started out as an offbeat way to explore the city and make new friends has now become a full-fledged community of food enthusiasts and lovers. Different people offer to host dinners and lunches at their homes with the intent of being around like-minded people. Focused on being people-centric more than emphasising on food, this group will literally make you feel at home. Sharing passions and opening doors to new peeps is what the community thrives on.
LBB Insiders
