This bar is cash only, no photos allowed inside especially at the bar, the menu is a large chalkboard hanging above with good prices, and they play punk music all night long. There is a nice outside patio seating, however it does close at 10pm and all patrons must either leave or move inside. There is indoor smoking, pool tables, and no line at the bathrooms. Only downside - with the popularity, it can get cramped. My boyfriend and I went on a weekday, and it was flooded with a mix of Americans and Germans. We stayed about an hour, as we were standing at the bar for the most part, but really enjoyed our time there.

Good local spot from when I was studying abroad there. Cheap beer and fun music, little dive spot…read more Great especially if you like fusbol!

The bartender was super nice and welcoming, we chatted a bit about where we were from, had two whiskies, and sat outside on the benches they have. The atmosphere was really pleasant and relaxed. Definitely recommended!

The bartender wasn't particularly welcoming, when I asked if I could sit at the bar, he pushed the reservation sign at the seat I was pointing at towards me from what I remember... point taken that yes there was a reservation sign but I just wanted to check since I wasn't sure... perhaps I was perceived as rude since I asked in English, or coz I wasn't local and didn't know, or may be that's in keeping with the vibe of the bar, no idea. Obviously can't comment on the drinks, but yep, there was no effort made to accommodate me, though I also didn't ask. Oh well, too bad.

Something told me to turn down a different way than I usually would. Walked by this little gem, and I knew I had to go in. Something about it. The bartender Stevie was extremely beautiful, and very trippy. She was super friendly and an absolutely unique gal. I told her how much I love the bar, and she said that I had to go and tell it to the man who was sitting outside. When I talked to him, I instantly fell in love. I knew right away that I had met someone that I wouldn't ever even come close to meeting again in this life. What a brilliant and sweet man he was, and I'm sad that I forgot his name. He sat and chatted with me about life there for the past 40 years. He speaks pure art, not a typical conversation, which I appreciate. He deserves to have a book written about himself. Excellent music, I just wish that I had some mushrooms while I was in there. But then again, you don't really need them. And besides that, I probably wouldn't have made it home. Had a couple of great beers, one of the most amazing hours of my life, and I can't speak more highly of this place. I wouldn't have minded staying a few more hours, but being the lightweight that I am... wouldn't have gone on so well to end nicely. Grateful for the experience, definitely make this a stop when you're in your area. Thank you all for giving me this memory to hold dear in my heart.
