Nightly music and comics at Uganda

Jerusalem’sUganda is an oasis of painful hipness tucked away between downtown andthe Russian Compound. Indie comics line one wall, indie recordsanother, electronica, dub and art-metal fill the air, and Jerusalem’sartsiest crowd around the bar to eat olives and drink bottled beer,including Taybeh, the controversial beer of the Palestinian people.

Muchlike the nation after which it’s named, Uganda sympathizes with thePalestinian plight, and it’s your best bet for finding shaggy AmericanISM volunteers fighting against oppression one Taybeh at a time. Thebar features nightly performances by DJs, and occasional art shows andband performances, and offers light food items.
