A.C.U.
Voorstraat 71
A slightly alternative joint with a slightly alternative audience,
to say the least. Originally an uninhabited building illegally
occupied by homeless youngsters, it was legalized about a year ago
and now homes a bar (with unknown opening hours) and irregular
concerts, mostly by bands from the alternative circuit. Relatively
cheap and visited almost exclusively by regulars. (This information
may or may not be slightly out of date as we haven't visited this
place in ages; looking through the window from outside, we did
however notice that the entire interior has been rebuilt
(practically from scratch) to something really... really... porsche.)

A.S.P.
Achter St.-Pieter 3
Utrecht's smallest bar, named after the street it is located in. A
place with a particularly loose interpretation of closing times: the
door
closes at 6 AM, which doesn't imply anything about the
time you should actually leave. It attracts a mixed crowd of
customers, and often Dutch music is played. Among the strange
snacks served at the bar are
carbonade (pork chops),
bal gehakt (greasy meatbal), and
BiFi worstjes
(try them--it's a way of life!). Surprisingly unknown, given its
central downtown location. The Dutch association of translators
meets here every first Wednesday of the month.
