Nice bar, though it is often crowded. Really good music as well, to enjoy while dancing and drinking a beer! 🍺😁

Popular bar with really fun music. But WARNING, some of the bartenders will cheat you with the price of the drinks. The same exact drink changes prices depending on who serves you.

Quite nice to enjoy and dance, clean bathrooms, recommended. But please please teach your DJ how to shuffle the songs, it kills the vibe if not done right!

This place is a combination of a bar and a small club. The music was ok. Friendly atmosphere with a local vibe.
