About Tuesdays with the Bard: Our Record-Holding Poetry Night

Every Tuesday, we host India's longest-running weekly poetry night right here at our cafe near Ulsoor Lake. We maintain a strict 'listening-room' atmosphere, meaning the space stays silent during recitals so every voice, no matter how quiet, is heard. Your entry fee is fully redeemable on our food and drink menu, making it easy to grab dinner or a coffee while you listen.
