People from all corners of the city crowd into the tight space of Bar3000, smoking and drinking until the early morning hours whilst listening to an eclectic mix of music ranging from old-school to techno. It’s an easy place to meet someone, but those who get overwhelmed by bodily contact as the night goes on can flee to the sofas under the giant light painting that looks like a vacation postcard from the ’90s. In there, some people forget how quickly time passes.
