BAR OMI

Art, Performances & Social Gathering

17 July - 6 September 2025

This summer, BAR OMI opens its doors. Designed by Studio Verter, the bar acts as a vibrant gathering and performance space to meet, talk, relax and experience unexpected forms of art together. From listening bar and film space to studio and stage for creative talent: BAR OMI changes character each week. Immerse yourself in a series of curated evenings by, among others, performer Inês Certo, artist Charlie Koolhaas, and designers Edward Zammit en Martina Farrugia.

By day, BAR OMI transforms into a book shop, library, art space and vinyl listening bar in one. Come by for a relaxing afternoon to enjoy some music and a good book with a cup of freshly brewed coffee – at the bar or in our cool green courtyard.

The festive opening will take place on Thursday evening 17 July with a special performance by spatial artist Ben Weir and with music by Tee Groove. Read everything about the opening program here.
