Absolutely unacceptable experience. We were treated with complete disrespect from the moment things didn’t go perfectly. One member of our group was suddenly told to leave for being “too drunk”, with no real attempt to handle the situation calmly or professionally. It felt abrupt and unnecessary. What made it worse was the attitude from staff—dismissive, impatient and borderline rude, especially towards those of us who are not native English speakers. Instead of trying to communicate or de-escalate, they chose the easiest option: kicking us out. The whole situation was handled poorly and left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Definitely not a place I would recommend

It’s an interesting bar for you to come with friends and talk to. Maybe even a date is good here. Ambient music is very interesting. The beers are a little expensive, but there are a lot of drinks. There are several different environments for you to enjoy your moment.
