( 043 268 57 20; www.cabaretvoltaire.ch ; Spiegelgasse 1; admission varies; 12.30-6.30pm Tue-
Sun) 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, it sums up the city's contemporary trick of combining its obvious wealth with a
sense of devilish social-artistic trouble-making. Entry to the bar is free and it's open until
midnight Tuesday through Saturday.
