)'(Ooligan Alley (the )'( is silent)

By day Ooligan Alley is a shady and welcoming haven for a cold beer, cider, or gin in a teacup under a well placed umbrella. By night travellers can join us in an exploration of visual spectacles and temporary art.

We snack people, lavish them with cold beverages and get them to sing songs during the HOT days.

Hang-Out

Hammocks, hammocks, and more hammocks swinging in the playa breeze filled with dusty desert nymphs, lost souls and the fortunate weary traveler who seeks our special version of Nirvana.
