Grade A — 4.4/5 from 2,000+ reviews — the quieter T1 pick
T1's SECOND 080 room, upstairs on Level 2 and the WEST end of the pair — on Priority Pass (BLR8) and on Visa's list as BLR102 '080 Domestic Lounge - West PH 2' at 'Domestic Departure Terminal 1, Opposite Gae 2 adjacent to the prayer room on the Mezzanine floor' (the mezzanine and the prayer room both belong to this room); entry from 3h before departure, under-5s free, unlimited guests, alcohol chargeable. This is the T1 '080' room Amex India's two lounge lists mean: Amex's own directions read 'Level 2, above Swarovski, opposite Fossil', matching PP's BLR8 word for word, not the Level 1 room by Starbucks. Visa's third T1 code, BLR104 '080 Domestic Lounge - East', is the LEVEL 1 room double-listed, not a door up here — settled 2026-08-01, see that room's note. The open question is a T1 VIP room, still NOT CARRIED as of 2026-08-01. For it: ICICI's July-2026 consolidated list has an asterisked '080 VIP Lounge' row for Terminal 1 (row 12, Domestic), and a TechnoFino thread ('080 VIP Lounge - West T1 Bangalore — accepted credit & debit cards') carries dated first-hand entries, BOB Eterna on 15 Jun 2026 and IndusInd Pinnacle that summer, plus a long card board. Against it: ICICI's address for that row — 'Mezzanine Level, After Security Check, Near Smoking Zone, Opposite Gate 12, 2nd Floor' — is word-for-word its own 'West PH 1' and 'West PH 2' rows, i.e. THIS room, and every operator surface still shows two T1 080 doors and no VIP tier at T1: Priority Pass's seven-room BLR directory (BLR8–BLR12, BLR17, BLR18), Plaza Premium's catalogue (six 080 rooms, every one Terminal 2), LoungePair's T1 breakdown, BIAL's own lounges page, and Visa's three T1 codes, none of them VIP. Note the T2 precedent cuts the other way: the Courtyard Club is a VIP SECTION inside the main T2 lounge sharing its reception desk, which is exactly how a T1 VIP room could sit at this room's address. We carry no door we cannot place, price or verify with an operator; TFS's own eligibility portal (loungeaccess.travelfoodservices.com) would settle it but is OTP-gated.

Grade C — Purpose-built social lounge, but BLR's lowest-rated (3.8)
Not the overflow shunt we used to call it — BIAL built and unveiled Gate Z on purpose, as a "social-first, experience-led" room pitched at Gen Z, with a café-bar, dining zones and an amphitheatre for events, run by its own subsidiary Bangalore Airport Services Limited rather than by TFS like the 080 rooms. It still doubles as where Priority Pass sends you when 080 International is capacity-capped, and it still has its own PP listing ('Gate Z', BLR18) with cold buffet only and under-5s free — it is BLR's lowest-rated room at 3.8/5, so the 080 International next door is the better seat if it will take you. Operator framing corrected 2026-08-22.

The VIP room beside the 080 International flagship, and India's most expensive card-openable door — Plaza Premium sells it from USD 122 against USD 49 for the 080 International Lounge next door. No card NETWORK admits you and Priority Pass has never listed it: PP's BLR directory carries seven rooms (BLR8–BLR12, BLR17, BLR18) and none is a VIP room. The only free way in is ICICI's consolidated domestic lounge list (re-read 2026-09-02 against the AUGUST-2026 edition — still row 10, still asterisked, "* 080 VIP Lounge / Terminal 2 / International"), whose asterisk footnote reads "Complimentary access is eligible only for Diamant, Emerald Private Metal and Times Black Credit Card customers" — so the Unlimited tier only, 3 hours a visit, guests chargeable. Added 2026-08-01, mirroring the DEL/HYD Privé grants; ICICI's address ("Level 4, opposite Irish House") matches Plaza Premium's page word for word.

Branded the Courtyard Club by the operator, and not a separate door: it is the quiet VIP section INSIDE India's best-rated domestic lounge — you check in at the same 080 reception desk and, if your card qualifies, staff walk you across. The name is on the record from the terminal's launch (Deccan Herald, Aug 2024: 'The Courtyard Club at the 080 Lounge in Terminal 2 at the Kempegowda International Airport'), in LiveFromALounge's T2 review and in CardExpert's dedicated review (updated 6 Jan 2026), which calls it 'the Courtyard Club that's popularly known as VIP Lounge at KIAL Terminal 2'. It is the dearest domestic seat in India: Plaza Premium sells it from USD 56 against USD 28 for the 080 Domestic Lounge, and LoungePair resells two hours at ₹5,124 against ₹2,427 for the main room. Priority Pass has never listed it and no card network opens it; the one complimentary route is ICICI's consolidated domestic lounge list (re-read 2026-09-02 against the AUGUST-2026 edition — still row 11, still asterisked, '* 080 VIP Lounge / Terminal 2 / Domestic'), asterisked to 'Diamant, Emerald Private Metal and Times Black' only — SpendWisely's walkthrough says the same and adds the negatives out loud: free with ICICI Emeralde Private Metal and Times Black, NOT with Priority Pass and NOT with HDFC Infinia. An older vintage of the same ICICI list (Times Black's December-2024 cut, rows 8–9) already carried both T2 VIP rooms, so this is a standing grant, not a July-2026 addition. UNVERIFIED, checked 2026-08-01: CardExpert's review also lists BOBCard Eterna, plain ICICI Emeralde, Yes Private, DBS Vantage and Equitas Elite, but compiled that list 'after reviewing the images of the cards accepted for entry at the lounge' — one photo-of-the-door-board source, with no second surface anywhere and a reader in its own comments refused on a plain Emeralde — so we grant nothing on it. Hot food is served in the main lounge, not in the section; one complimentary drink per guest since Dec 2025. Added 2026-08-01. Plaza Premium sells a THIRD VIP room here — 080 VIP Arrival, landside, from USD 42 — that ICICI's list does not carry, so no card opens it.
