Crazy, cool, chilled out, cheerful...
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays... Opus is the place to be!
Thursday is booze and brains night... Each table becomes a quizzing team. The quiz master asks the question and follows it up with a track. You have till the end of the song to get it right and pass on the answers on a scrap of paper. The points keep mounting with each round, at the end of which, the table with the maximum points gets to leave Opus without paying a penny! The most fun you'll have on a Thursday night even if you aren't a quizzer.
Wednesdays and Sundays are kroak (Karaoke) nights at Opus and you can't but help enjoy yourself here. Come Sunday and where to go is simply a no-brainer! Opus of course. That's where the whole world is! And you don't just go there cause it's a cool thing to do/place to be spotted at. You go there cause it's insanely fun. The energy is sooo high it carries you with it.
Crazy drunk people crooning away on the mic. And it doesn't matter if you're the best or the worst singer on this planet, the crowd will eat off your palm anyway...
Agreed it sometimes feels like you're at a private party, but then, keep going back and pretty soon you'll find yourself on the other side of the fence. It's definitely a place to go to with a big gang.
Besides the crowd adding to the ambiance of the place, Opus has a super chilled out "beach shacky", candle light setting. It's outdoors, which is great. You have normal tables on one side. The rest of the place has really low tables and seating with a gravel floor (you're practically curled up on the floor) .
All in all, an absolute must visit. Go there once and you'll get hooked for sure!

goAcross the wall?
not really sure if it really goa, but i absolutely loved the atmosphere. Reminded me of one those places where Carrie and her friends (Sex and the City) would hang out... Ideal for those who wanna catch up on all the good times!!!!

GO(A)cross the wall
Thats the punchline of this place.
After enjoying several rounds of beer at Tavern at the Inn, we were in the mood for pub hopping. So at 10:45 in the night, we were on the way to Dublin at Windsor Manor, but at the last moment, we decided to check out Opus.
At the reception we were told they are having a DJ night and the entrance costs Rs.350 per head. But one of the friends in our group is a regular here so they said we can pay Rs.110 per head.
There is a live open kitchen which is wonderful to watch. The ambience is quite different than any other place I have been to as rarely do we find such vast space on a ground floor in Bangalore. The walls are all white, the seating area has tables near the walls and there is a large opening where gravel stones make the floor and leather cushion strips make the seating with stone tables placed a few inches above the ground. We sat with our legs stretched. And the waiter, dressed like a sailor, bought the menu, which is a paper cube wrapped around a candle inside a glass. Pretty neat and looks good too. We settled for two pints of KF and two plates of rice and Goan veg curry. The curry was really good.
The DJ was spinning some foot tapping numbers and without realizing we were bobbing our heads to the beat. Some fellows were attempting a dance wherever they were.
The music promptly stopped at 11.30 PM and we paid the bill and left.
Definitely coming back for a long evening of drinks and Goan cuisine.

BnB
Food is good, service is passable, ambience is nice. And it's one of the few places in town where one can get Goan sausage. But the place does give out an odd vibe. I could never place it, but after reading blr.bytes' review, may be it's the private party feel. Guess there are too many regulars there and I'm not one of them? Waiters are not friendly enough? Don't know. Anyway, I try and be in Opus every Thursday for Booze 'n' Brains. The way they are set up (A/V rounds, permanent score board, T-shirts, the obvious camaraderie BnB organizers and Opus owners share etc.), I doubt BnB will move out of there any time soon. So, though not by choice, I will continue being an Opus patron.

fun place, barring the insults
A few insults apart, it was a nice way to spend the evening - drinks, friends, a low pressure quiz.
Me (politely enough): Excuse me, I think we were charged for 4 beers when we actually only had 3
Waiter (Firmly): No sir, you had 4 beers.
Me (taken aback): I am sure we had only 3 beers. We each had one each, and then we shared one.
Waiter (more sternly): No sir. You had 4.
Me (speechless): ...
Proprietor (noticing the tension, stepping in to prevent a scene): It's okay, charge them for 3.
On the way out, I also heard the waiter telling an adjacent table "clear up" or "clear off" or some such... to inform them that it was closing time.
So mild insults apart, it was a pleasant evening.
