Savršeno mjesto za sjesti na piće. Kokteli odlični čak i van ponude po izboru konobara Karla. Sve pohvale za njega, simpatičan, uslužan i definitivno za ovaj posao.

Vintage uređen birc , s osjećajem doma i pravo mjesto za nadolazeće blagdane , jer blagdansko ozračje tamo se već nadaleko osjeća. Topli i hladni napitci po prihvatljivim cijenama, a za pušače, osigurana je terasa s grijalicama i zaklonjena od padalina.

Ugodan ambijent u samom centru grada. Ljubazno osoblje, veliki izbor pića i napitaka po povoljnim cijenama. Gledali smo nogomet i iz narudžbu dobili grickalice, pohvale za to.

Odličan ambijent. Odlična usluga. Ekipa nas već poznaje i čim dođemo, znaju da se kuhaju dvije bijele kave. Definitivno preporuke.
