Birthplace of the zany Dada art movement, this bar-cum-art-space came back to life
in 2004 as a hotbed of contentious art exhibitions and socially critical artistic ferment. In a

sense of devilish social-artistic trouble-making. Entry to the bar is free and it's open until
midnight Tuesday through Saturday.
