While drinking the night away has never been a particularly hazardous enterprise in Vienna, finding somewhere half-way decent in the early hours can be awkward. Now for those who go the distance, the centrally located Maxim, formerly a cheesey ‘high class’ nightspot, runs chill out sessions starting at 4am Fridays and Saturdays. Two floors supply house and more relaxing sounds to a varied crowd sprawled amid the low lighting and velour. Easy to find just across the Ring from the Opera and ladies get in free.

Saturdays for Young People is the name of the courses that AR.CO, the Centre for Art and Visual Communication near the castle of Saint George is organising every weekend during term time. There are workshops in a variety of disciplines, including photography (shooting, developing and printing), painting and drawing, jewellery design and ceramics, all for children aged between 10 and 15. The cost is 40,000 escudos for a course of Saturdays, from Jan 20 to Mar 17 or Apr 7 to Jun 9, but it is possible to arrange to attend just a few sessions.

After one of the most publicised construction periods and anticipated openings in recent memory, Bacar has finally opened for business, and it is quickly becoming the hot new restaurant in town. The brainchild of a collection of savvy industry veterans, Bacar is a stylish, two-level brick-walled space where wine is king. Chef Arnold Eric Wong prepares smart, seasonal American fare, ranging from wood-fired pizzas to Muscovy duck and vegetable potpie. But the real draw here is the wine list, which features more than 1000 varieties – including many hard-to-find selections – all impressively displayed in a three-story ‘wine wall’.

This new Czech film takes on a favourite subject, how the roads and open spaces of Bohemia tend to become major characters in themselves, giving actors a run for their money. David Beranek’s feature follows a thief and a stripper on the run from the mob who are thrown together and forced to hit the road in the Czech Republic’s lyrically beautiful eastern province of Moravia. Heavily psychological and very atmospheric, the film is a study in mood, slow pacing and the search for meaning in an increasingly consumer-mad society. An intriguing and very non-commercial look from a fresh new ensemble, with English subtitles and selected cinemas.

He looks like a cross between Herbie Hancock and a cartoon superhero, but Cary is the real deal: a jazz pianist with chops and highly organised musical visions. He cut his teeth in D.C.’s 1980s go-go scene and eventually graduated from the Duke Ellington School for the Arts, and his sense of groove is evident on albums like ‘Rhodes Ahead, Vol. 1′, in which he takes the Rhodes Piano into a whole new dimension. With song titles like ‘Saturn’s Return’ and ‘Take Me Higher’ you can tell Cary’s shows will take you trippin’.
