Dada: Jazz joint

In a stylish league of its own, Dada lives up to its namesake -- the surrealist art movement -- with whimsical decor and great jazz performances.

Located in the Knutsford Terrace neighborhood of rough and divey bars juxtaposed against cheesy and touristy eateries, Dada in the Luxe Manor Hotel is an artistic breath of fresh air with its deep purples and blacks, horse head decorated bar and even a couple of authentic Salvador Dali's hanging on its walls.

But the focus at Dada is on the music. The lounge is fast transforming itself into a hub of live jazz performances, drawing a crowd of fashionistas, business suited types, as well as genuine jazz lovers, all mingling over champagne cocktails and fine wines.
