Bar Babylon
Cosy bar in a 19th-century mansion

You never know what sort of music people the DJs will be spinning at Bar Babylon, part of Café Tekehtopa. But more likely than not it’s bound to be rock (and never house or trance, rest assured). Chandeliers dangling from high ceilings and elaborate crown moulding in the bar’s 19th-century mansion home make for plenty of ambiance during the dark winter months. And come spring and summer, everyone flocks outside to the sunny back patio. Come early if you’re looking for a quiet drink as late night draws a boisterous student crowd.
