BAR OMI

Art, performances & encounters

17 juli until 20 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.
