Walking into Openair is rather like finding yourself in an Aphex Twin video. If the mylar waterfall doesn't immediately space you out, stroll into the minimalist-décor middle room, loll on a couch and take in some of the soothing imagery playing on a strip of 16 TV screens embedded in the wall. Guest DJ's do their stuff in the back booth while big-pants-clad patrons chat, drink and wander around aimlessly. It would be tough to find a better place in which to be in an altered state of mind. Just don't attempt actual dancing, because Openair isn't licensed for it; besides, sudden movements might freak out the other patrons. — Sara Stewart

Every Sunday afternoon is their well-known "Share" party where people can bring their own laptops and hook up to the bar's system to play music, exchange information or simply IM with friends.
