Being well shaken, it arrived admirably chilled with speared olive triptych served on the side, offering full freedom of garnish choice.

I am not, but I admit to being deeply attentive. Not for dickish purposes, but because the human liver is a miraculous wonder, and should not be abused thoughtlessly. And if a Martini isn't as perfect as those my daughter made as an eight year old, then one desperately needs to get one's shit together. I think we can all agree. Thank you Frank. My daughter would approve.

As noted, drinks are unbelievably cheap, and for fans of Eastern German klars and kräuters, the selection is unparalleled. Go and play ping pong over 2 Euro shots of Rostocker Doppelkorn.

Nice atmosphere and really friend staff…read more The drinks are a bit pricey, and also a bit watery. My gin and tonic tasted weirdly of cranberry juice. But the sitting area and scene is pleasant.
