  3. La Maison

    You have to see to believe this trip of a place, decorated room by room like a home furnished in bad 1970s taste, playing (what else?) house music - but not so loud that you can't chat with the local students who make it their home away from home.

  7. Spoutnik

    In a small turquoise-coloured space with a quirky collection of stainless steel and brass clocks (none of which show the same time), Spoutnik has regular live independent rock as well as 40 different flavours of vodka and good tap beer.
