This is the heart of Urban Solace. A first glimpse into the soul of our café, where poetry, stories, and community come alive. These moments capture the magic we’ve been creating for over 15 years, offering a taste of the genuine connections and creative energy that fill our space.
Tuesdays with the Bard: Our Record-Holding Poetry Night
For over 15 years, every Tuesday night, we host India's longest-running poetry event. The evening begins with a featured poet, followed by an open mic where anyone is welcome to share their work. It's a space built on the energy of words, applause, and shared human experience.
The Book Lovers' Club: A Home for Readers
Every second Sunday, we host the Urban Solace Book Lovers' Club. It’s a free, informal gathering for anyone who loves books to discuss the month's chosen title. We've hosted over 50 published authors and continue to be a cherished spot for literary conversations in Bangalore.
Urban Rhythms: A Showcase of Original Poetry
We believe poetry deserves to be seen as well as heard. This is a collection of original poems from our community, beautifully formatted and shared as part of special series like "Independence & Me" and "Poetry of Bangalore." You can also find information on our published anthologies here.
Special Events & Creative Workshops
Beyond our regular events, we host a variety of unique gatherings designed to inspire and heal. This includes art exhibitions, mental health sharing circles, and creative writing therapy workshops, all aimed at fostering a supportive and expressive community.
