It derived the name from a restaurant famously known as 100ft Boutique Bar & Restaurant, which marked the beginning of the street as 100ft. In 2014 it was named Dr S. K. Karim Khan Road after the renowned Kannada Poet and folklorist.^[1] 100 Feet Road is a residential and commercial hub with the major Old Airport Road – Intermediate Ring Road flyover junction at one end.^[2]

Once lined with residential houses on either side, 100 Feet Road has, over the last few years, turned into a commercially important high-street in Bangalore with numerous retail stores, book shops, ayurvedic centers, hotels restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars. While Bangalore has always been known as the "Pub City" of India, this was largely due to the number of pubs around M. G. Road. Indiranagar and more specifically 100 Feet Road is slowly wresting this importance away.^{[citation needed]}
