This stone structure was built in 1912 and has seen many establishments come and go. While one side of it has been occupied by the Bible Society since the building was erected, the other side was occupied by the popular music label company "HMV" for a very long period followed by a cafe called "Barista", a pub called "180 Proof" and today the international chain of pubs "Hard Rock Cafe" occupies this space.
Sachin Banandur, Drummer of Parvaaz said - “Being a Bengaluru boy out of all the HRC’s I have visited in India, this one on St. Marks Road is my favourite. Also, Bengaluru is the perfect place for HRC as it is the rock capital of the country. Every Thursday used to be gig night and mainly performed by rock bands which was a good get-away on a weekday unlike other venues which only hosted gigs on weekends. HRC is extra special to me as a musician as I grew up watching a lot of live acts. I am looking forward to a day when I can get back on stage as well as watch other live performances here.”
