Awaria

This small, dodgy dive bar is known for its live blues and rock concerts (Tue-Sun), patient barmaids and plastered, hard-livin' local clientele who are never too shy to buy a sober stranger a drink. Steamy and frightfully claustrophobic, Awaria's dreadfully designed bar area offers almost no room to squeeze past into the concert space, where you'd be wise to protect your drink from being stolen or spilled as tables topple over and someone on stage rocks out on the harmonica. The fact that there's barely enough room to sit in front of the bar might explain why people are dancing on top of it to the Tina Turner and Elvis classics on rotation after the band blows off. Legendary.
