Urban Solace

About

At Urban Solace, I wanted a place where art isn't just background noise. For 15+ years, our little corner in Bangalore has been about giving every kind of creative soul a spot to shine. People don't just visit, they feel right at home - whether they're on stage or in the crowd.

What Happens Here

• Every week has its rhythm:
  • Tuesdays, the mic is open for poets and spoken word artists. Sometimes, you’ll catch a mix of poetry, music, maybe even a bit of Kathak if someone’s feeling bold.
  • Wednesdays, we go all in on laughs with LOL @ Urban Solace - which, by the way, kicked off the whole comedy stage Bangalore scene.
  • Fridays, it’s pure music. Unplugged. Just voices, guitars, and that raw vibe you only get at an acoustic music venue Bangalore knows and loves.
  • Alternate Thursdays, SoulStage is a mad mix - musicians, poets, beatboxers, whatever. All you need is ten minutes and the guts to grab the mic.

The Feel

• Small, close, and cozy - like watching a show in a friend’s living room.
• Full setup: good sound, pro mics, warm lighting. Nothing fancy, just what you need.
• We’re a cafe and wine bar, so grab some food or a drink while you watch or perform.

For Performers & Audiences

• If you’re searching for an open mic night Bangalore style, or just want a crowd that actually listens, this is the spot.
• All are welcome - first-timers, regulars, queer artists, everyone. No judgement, just support.

Why It Matters

Urban Solace is about stories and songs, laughter and connection. If that’s your thing, you’ll fit right in.
