Café Soundgarden
LIVE MUSIC
Somehow Soundgarden's handful of pool tables, 1980s pinball machines, unkempt DJs
and lovably surly bartenders add up to an ineffable magic. Bands occasionally make an
appearance, and the waterfront terrace scene is like an impromptu party in someone's
backyard. All walks of life swig here: the common denominator isn't fashion, age or polit-
ics - it's a diehard love of rock and roll.

treat yourself to a meal in the restaurant (a special 'dinner and movie ticket' starts at
€22.50) or grab a premovie tipple at its equally inviting cafe-bar.

BLUES
