Bars in galaxies are frequently found to be off-centered, so that the center of the bar does not coincide with the center of rotation, with a difference which typically amounts to several tens of parsecs. This is clearly seen in the distribution of the gas and the rotation curves at the center of the Milky Way, and in nearby barred galaxies (Blitz, these proceedings, and del Burgo et al., these proceedings).
