Live @ Aloft Hotels - W XYZ Bar

‘Live at Aloft Hotels’ may be a very familiar phrase to a lot of travelers and locals who have visited Aloft Hotels in the United States. It is an event that acts as a platform to showcase the hottest upcoming artists and bands once every week at their signature W XYZ Bar across Aloft Hotels in the United States.

After a very impressive response in the United States; on 28^th June, 2013, this highly successful event ‘Live at Aloft Hotels’ was launched at Aloft, Bangalore. This is among the four Aloft hotels in the whole of Asia-Pacific to host this signature series of live music performances.

 It lives by the concept of mix, meet and mingle over drinks, music and events. Taking cue from this, here are a few aspects that I’ll touch upon beginning with ‘events’.

Event - 'Live at Aloft Hotels'

The opening act on 28^th June was a performance by ‘Little Wings’ with Herbert Paul on the guitar and vocals, Gerard Roy on bass and Raj Sampath on drums. Their music seemed to be heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and more. Every week, come Friday and you will see a different band playing different genres of music.

As for ‘Little Wings’; I must say, “The band did a good job performing live and to second my view was my guest who accompanied me to this launch event.”

Drinks and Eats

W XYZ serves a limited but interesting selection of cocktails along with a good listing of regular alcoholic beverages, and wines by either bottle or glass. The menu also comprises of a selection of both cold and hot appetizers in both vegetarian and non - vegetarian.

Squid Rings

Veg. Sushi

My personal pick from the mixes was the mojito – made strong on request to my liking, the Fiji Lychee cocktail and a name I do not recollect but the mix contained whiskey, orange juice and tonic water.

Music and Ambiance

W XYZ bar welcomes its guests with vibrant interiors and a wonderful bar counter. You can either choose to sit by the bar, couches, comfortable chairs or sofas. At the bar, you also get to enjoy some flare maneuvers by the bartender.

The music here is well modulated and does not interfere with conversations being made allowing you to enjoy the music, conversation, drinks and food in parallel.
