Every Thursday, the cosy Indiranagar hideaway will bring together a specially curated tequila menu, inventive combinations, and the warm, intimate vibe that The Drawing Room is known for. Whether it is an after-work unwind, a midweek catch-up, or an early start to the weekend, Tequila Thursdays give guests a fresh reason to drop by.

The menu takes inspiration from two classic tequila cocktail styles, Picante and Paloma, each reimagined in different ways. Guests can explore spice-led serves such as the Classic Picante, Oriental Picante, Pickled Cranberry Picante, and Hawaiian Pineapple Picante, alongside refreshing Paloma variations including the Classic Paloma, Rosemary Paloma, Roasted Hazelnut Paloma, and Shiso Spice Paloma. 

“Tequila has a great range, it can be bright, spicy, herbaceous, or fruit-forward depending on how it is built. With Tequila Thursdays, we wanted to take two familiar serves, the Picante and the Paloma, and give them a playful Drawing Room twist. It is an easy, flavour-led way for guests to explore tequila and make a Thursday evening feel a little more special,” said Jones Elish, Beverage Head, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt Ltd

From citrusy and herbaceous to smoky, spicy, and fruit-led, the menu brings a different take on tequila with every pour. Paired with The Drawing Room’s charming setting and easygoing atmosphere, Tequila Thursdays is made for guests who enjoy discovering new cocktails without making the evening feel too serious.

With this new weekly IP, The Drawing Room continues to build on its experience-led programming, giving Bengaluru another reason to gather, sip, and spend a Thursday night well.

Bangalore, 30^th June 2026: SOCIAL, which opened its first Bangalore outlet in 2014, is taking its connection with the city beyond its cafés and onto the streets with a new on-ground initiative across 100 autos in Koramangala, Indiranagar and Whitefield. Rolling out this month, the initiative brings together witty Kannada-English lines on auto backs and easy Kannada phrase cards inside the ride, created to bring a little more humour, familiarity and local flavour to Bangalore’s everyday commutes.

In Bangalore, an auto ride is rarely just about getting from one place to another. It is part of the city’s daily theatre, a quick exchange with an anna, a half-Kannada-half-English direction, a familiar pause at a traffic signal, a shortcut through a neighbourhood you are still getting to know. For people who move to the city for work, college or a new beginning, these small moments often become the first way Bangalore starts feeling less like a new city and more like home. SOCIAL’s Kannada Language Cards are built on that feeling.

Placed inside the autos, the cards turn common ride moments into light, easy prompts, from saying “Illi nilli” when you want to stop here, to “Left alli hogi” when giving directions, “Eshtu aaytu?” when asking for the fare, “Online payment maadthini” while paying online, or “Whitefield SOCIAL drop maadi” when heading to Whitefield SOCIAL. The idea is not to make language feel like a lesson, but like a small, friendly bridge into the city’s everyday rhythm.

On the outside, the autos carry quirky Kannada-English lines inspired by Bangalore’s street-side humour, such as “Tech This Tech That, Anna Who Will Tech Care of Me?” and “Chill Maadi, Come To SOCIAL.” The lines tap into familiar back-of-auto wit and the city’s easy mix of languages. Designed to feel native to Bangalore, the campaign turns one of the city’s most recognisable cultural symbols into a moving canvas for language, humour, and local connection.

Speaking about the initiative, Divya Aggarwal, Chief Growth Officer, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, “Bangalore has played a very special role in SOCIAL’s journey since we opened our first outlet in the city in 2014. Over the years, we have seen how people make this city their own through its neighbourhoods, food, language, humour and everyday rituals. Autos are such a familiar part of that experience. With this initiative, we wanted to create something that is useful, light-hearted and rooted in the city, while helping people feel a little more at ease with everyday Kannada. SOCIAL has always been about belonging, and this is our way of taking that feeling into Bangalore’s streets.”

The 100 autos will be seen across Koramangala, Indiranagar and Whitefield, three key SOCIAL neighbourhoods that are central to Bangalore’s work, culture, food and nightlife. By placing the campaign inside daily commute routes, SOCIAL is creating a visible and practical citywide touchpoint that people can use, spot, smile at and share.

The initiative builds on SOCIAL’s long-standing relationship with Bangalore, a city that has shaped the brand’s community-first approach over the years. Through this campaign, SOCIAL continues to show up where its communities are, not only inside cafés, but also in the streets, rides and small everyday exchanges that make Bangalore feel like home.
