contents We prove a bilinear Kakeya inequality in the first Heisenberg group and a sharp bilinear Kakeya estimate for Euclidean curved tubes in $\R^2$. By adapting an argument of Fässler, Pinamonti and Wald involving Heisenberg projections, we show that the latter implies the former. We prove the estimate for curved tubes using a combination of techniques developed by Pramanik, Yang and Zahl, Wolff and Schlag. We introduce a novel broadness hypothesis inspired by works of Zahl, which rules out bush-type configurations that break transversal structure. We argue that such a hypothesis is needed for proving the bilinear estimates we present. We also introduce necessary additional linear terms to the estimate to counteract Szemerédi--Trotter-type clustering phenomena.
