A great little pub/restaurant in Dresden's Neustadt. Another review I read referred to it…read more(positively) as a holdover from the East German days, which I'd disagree with- it's modern enough, although the prices/attitude are both enjoyably low. I had the bierbraten and a couple of their house brews- all good! I sauntered in around 6pm and didn't have trouble getting a seat, although it started getting more crowded around 7-8pm. Luckily it looked like table sharing was a common occurrence.

It took us a while to find it (it wasn't on yelp at the time), but they did have a Facebook page with a map. Inside is cozy and definitely reminiscent of a bar that you would find beside the beach in the Caribbean, meaning it's also a bit tacky. I didn't hear much German being spoken in here, mostly Spanish, which is a good indicator to me of its authenticity. But the real reason to go is the cocktails and to chat with the guy who is their creator. I ordered first a drink with ginger, coconut and lime, then one with strawberry and basil. These were arguably the best cocktails I've had in Deutschland, with fresh ingredients, great recipes, and generous amounts of booze. We were even given a new cocktail that the master mixer was working on which was incredibly good but also set me over and told me it was bedtime. The two downsides to such great drinks is that you're likely to overindulge and they do take quite some time to make. So be patient! It's worth the wait. The opening hours are not posted on the door, but this place kind of seemed like it opens and closes when the time is right.
