Genre spreads a café, restaurant and record bar across three floors in Defence Colony. The record wall and DJ booth are part of the operation, with the upstairs rooms better suited to drinks and music than the busier ground-floor café.
Vinyl evenings follow themes rather than a fixed house genre. One night might lean towards hip-hop, another towards Billie Holiday, Brazilian funk-jazz, Arabic synth-pop or Peruvian cumbia. Resident DJs and guest selectors appear regularly, while community nights let collectors bring records to be played. Exact system details have not been published.
This is a social record bar with more listening intent than the average Delhi cocktail room. It works best on a programmed evening, when the selections have enough shape to reward staying beyond one drink.
