The Piano Man Art Cafe

We’ve been here at Vasant Vihar Basant Lok 60 for quite a while now. It’s a busy spot, and things can get a bit loud when the bands start playing, but that’s just how it goes here. Most days, we’re just making sure the chairs are in the right place and the coffee machine is working like it should. We didn't really plan for it to become what it is today, it just happened over time with people coming in and out. Sometimes the kitchen gets backed up when it's crowded, and we have to tell people to wait a bit. It isn't a fancy corporate place where everything is perfect. The walls have marks and the floor is a bit worn down from all the feet walking over it every night. We spend a lot of time cleaning up after the shows. It’s a lot of work running a place like this in Delhi. The traffic outside is always a mess, so getting here can be a pain, but people still show up. We try to keep things simple. If you want a drink or some food while listening to music, this is where we are. We don't have a big team of people doing PR or anything like that. It’s just us, making sure the lights stay on and the music keeps going. Most of the staff has been here for years and they know the regulars by name now.
