Bangalore,6th October 2025: The city that knows how to party is about to discover how to play. Loco Lane, India’s first premium competitive socialising destination, has officially opened its doors in the heart of Bangalore. Spanning 12,000 sq. ft and combining four adrenaline-fueled games, a cocktail-forward bar, and an elevated dining experience, Loco Lane is redefining what a night out looks like in Bangalore.

Bowling, axe throwing, interactive darts, and shuffleboard, at Loco Lane, games aren’t just entertainment; they’re the heart of the experience. The brand’s vision is simple: “competition fuels connection.” From casual dates to corporate tournaments, every group walks away with new stories, and new bragging rights.

“Bars serve drinks. Restaurants serve food. Loco Lane brings it all together with competition at the centre. Every visit is designed as an experience, not just a night out,” says Sarvesh Gupta, Co-Founder

Lanes have always been pathways of connection, from the streets where we grew up to the iconic stretches we gather on today. At Loco Lane, these lanes become playgrounds: places to roll a strike, land an axe, hit bullseyes, or slide to victory.

And then there’s the zebra the brand’s unmistakable mascot. “The zebra is our spirit, bold, playful, and premium. Its stripes mirror our lanes, and its energy defines the dazzle we want guests to feel,” says Pratik Patwari, Co-Founder (Branding & Partnerships). Across the venue, guests will spot cheeky nods to the zebra and its playful philosophy: Why did the zebra cross the road? Not for logic, or for an answer but for fun and a hint of curiosity.

At the centre of the space is The Watering Hole; A striking bar inspired by the wild, where zebras gather to refresh and connect. “Our bar is designed as the social heart of the venue. With bold cocktails, quick-serve signatures, and a premium low/no-alcohol menu, it’s where competition turns into conversation,” says Lakshya Roongta, Co-Founder (Expansion & Operations).

Highlights include signatures like the Dazzle Spritz, Bullseye Sour, Lane Change, and Crossing No. 5, alongside a 0% Watering Hole Cooler for those who like to keep it clean.

The kitchen at Loco Lane breaks away from genre labels to serve a global mix of Indian, Asian, Italian, and American flavours, bold, indulgent, and share-friendly. Think Loco Nachos, Mario Baos, Lamb Burgers, Zebra Ravioli, Spicy Mary Spaghetti, and Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse. Guests can also expect Bangalore firsts like Pides and Naanlets, playful originals crafted exclusively for the venue.

“Our food is designed to surprise and to be shared. It’s not just fuel for the night, it’s part of the banter, the memory, and the play,” says Lakshya Roongta. 

Designed by Shivarao Channapatna of ADS Design Global Ventures LLC, Dubai, the interiors reimagine Loco Lane as a true playground for adults. His philosophy brings together bold zebra motifs, playful lighting inspired by carnival energy, and layered design details that invite discovery. The result is a space that is witty, immersive, and rooted in the science of happiness..

With 200+ covers across lounge, dining, bar, and lane-side seating, the venue is as much a stage for connection as it is for play.

“Our tech ensures games, food, and service connect seamlessly. Guests should feel the energy, not the friction.” says Sarthak Kedia, Co-Founder (Technology & Data) 

Loco Lane is the flagship concept of Whitelane Holdings Limited – a multi-format entertainment and hospitality group expanding across India and international markets. Led by four co-founders – Lakshya Roongta, Sarvesh Gupta, Pratik Patwari, and Sarthak Kedia – the brand is positioning itself as a category-defining competitive socialising experience, benchmarked to global standards yet proudly shaped in India

“We wanted to give India something world-class yet proudly rooted — a place where food, drinks, and games aren’t separate silos but part of one seamless, playful night out,” adds Pratik Patwari.
