Our Story

Chins was made for days that don't follow a schedule.

Coffee when you need it. Food worth staying for. Drinks when the day calls for them.

Coffee with intention

Beans chosen for character, brewed the same way whether the room is empty or full. Order it black, order it long, order it twice.

Food without the formality

Plates built to be shared and reordered. Breakfast that runs late, lunch that runs longer, nothing that asks you to sit up straight.

A bar that knows when the day is done

Classics made properly, a short list of our own, and no rush to turn the table.

The rest can wait.

The people behind Chins

An evolution,
not a reinvention.

01 · Where we come from

Chinlung has grown alongside Bengaluru, and over the years, what has mattered most to us is the community that has grown with the brand — the regulars, the friendships, the conversations and the many memorable evenings. Chins carries that same spirit forward, while representing the next chapter of our journey.

02 · What we set out to make

With Chins, we wanted to create a destination that evolves naturally through the day — somewhere you can begin with coffee, enjoy a meal, meet over drinks, or spend an entire evening with friends. Food is an integral part of the experience, and we have placed equal emphasis on the bar, with a thoughtfully curated cocktail programme that focuses on well-crafted, distinctive and approachable drinks. We want our cocktails to become as much a reason to return as the food, music and overall atmosphere.

03 · What stays

Chins is not a reinvention of Chinlung; it is an evolution of everything we have built and valued over the years. It retains the warmth, familiarity and sense of belonging associated with the original brand, while introducing a more contemporary experience for Bengaluru today.

04 · What we hope for

Ultimately, our vision is for Chins to become a place people make their own — whether it is for their regular coffee, a favourite cocktail, dinner with friends or an evening that extends longer than planned. We want every guest to find their own reason to keep coming back.
