Chicago may not need another rib joint to chew on but isn’t complaining about Freddy’s. At this handsome oak bar, with exposed brick walls and vintage photos of Chicago, the ribs are as good and varied. Baby back ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. Beef ribs, meaty and flavourful from slow cooking, make a nice change of pace, as does moist charbroiled chicken. Sandwiches include BBQ brisket and pulled pork. Side dishes include fried potatoes sprinkled with seasonings.

September 17, 2009Christened the ‘Colourists’ due to their unashamedly bold use of pure colour, the work of Fergusson, Cadell, Hunter and Peploe brightens up an otherwise dreary winter.

Ridiculously Deep
May 4, 2009A new Thursday night event at cinema-club Schikaneder, Ridiculously Deep is a chilled evening of Brazillian sounds, enjoyed from the relative comfort of leatherette three-piece suites or the busy bar. Classics from the bossa pantheon trade places with outthere fusions, snatches of devotional music and a substantial dose of the currently fashionable remixed variety pumped out on German labels such as Compost. Being a cinema, the accent is also on the moving image with projections of scenes from the green heart of America, cinema novo and anything the cuartors can scrape up. A cheap night out in Vienna’s kicking Freihausviertel.

Noites do Brasil
February 18, 2009Brazilian music and culture is all the rage in Paris right now, and the Latin spirit takes over the Divan du Monde every Thursday, Friday and Saturday during this summer. The hot nights start early with a live concert, followed by DJs spinning samba or batucada, as well as traditional and modern Latin pop. A summer treat to hold you over until the city repopulates after the August heat.
