Things to do in Mangalore

  1. A

    Liquid Lounge

    The coolest (and loudest) pub in town, this place has funky posters and neon-lit interiors, including a backlit Les Paul guitar replica dangling above the bar! A good selection of beers is on offer, and its staff in floral shirts are a courteous lot.

    St Aloysius College Chapel

    Catholicism’s roots in Mangalore date back to the arrival of the Portuguese in the early 1500s, and today the city is liberally dotted with churches. One of the most impressive is the Sistine Chapel-like St Aloysius College Chapel, with its walls and ceilings painted with brilliant frescoes.

    Kadal

    This high-rise restaurant has elegant and warmly lit interiors, with sweeping views of town and the sea beyond. Try the spicy chicken varval (a coastal Karnataka style of curry) or the fresh prawn dishes. Also enquire about the day’s specials.

    Lalith Bar & Restaurant

    Unwind in the Lalith’s cool, subterranean interior while enjoying a cocktail combined with prawns, crab or kingfish from its extensive menu. The day’s special seafood is usually the best bet.
