Bangalore cafe and pub directory

You build a website that lists cafes, pubs and breweries in Bangalore with filters people really search for, such as live music, pet-friendly, rooftop or good for working. Each venue gets a page with photos, a map and tags. You write guides for each area of the city to bring in visitors from Google, and let readers suggest corrections and leave reviews. Cafes and bars pay to be featured once the site has regular readers. You can start on a basic site builder and a cheap domain.

People choosing where to go on a Saturday night, or where to work from for an afternoon, flip between general listing apps, maps and Instagram posts. Those rarely filter by small details like pets, board games or quiet seating. Local venues also have few places where they control how they appear.

• Bangalore locals who know the cafe and pub scene well
• Bloggers and food creators who want a website of their own
• Builders who like content and search traffic

• Featured venue listings at ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 a month
• Display ads once traffic grows
• Affiliate links for ordering, tickets and rides
• Sponsored guides from drinks and event brands

1. 1Pick one neighbourhood, such as Indiranagar or Koramangala, and build 30 venue pages there using photos you took or owners gave you.
2. 2Publish three guides, like rooftop cafes or pet-friendly places, then visit ten venues and offer each a free featured spot for three months.
3. 3Add a suggest-a-change form to every page and ask owners to check their listing, so the details stay correct.

Traffic comes slowly, and few readers click through to anything paid. Venues close or change hours and menus often, so listings go stale unless you keep checking. Alcohol advertising is tightly restricted in India, so ask a lawyer what your pubs pages and ads may say. Reviews of named businesses will bring takedown requests, so write a moderation policy early.
