The garden isn't a real garden, it's hotter inside than outside. There are no plants, it's purely optimized for seating space. There is a hidden 15% service fee to make the menu look cheaper, there is no table service for that price. Service is slow too, they even refused to take an empty beer glass at some point, eventhough we explicitly asked. The place is a mess, there is bird poop everywhere, watch out! The toilets where really disgusting, there was even a door missing! The food was mediocre at best, there were very little fries with the meal. The fries had a weird taste to them. The salad consisted of a few leaves of lettuce. The cutlery was thin and cheap. After eating, some of our party wanted to order another plate with one portion for two people, the establishment said they could not provide us with proper plates, having to use paper plates instead. They also did not have the proper beer glasses for each beer type, which I find weird for a garden. The music band that performed was really weird, they all looked like they have a mid life crisis. They were playing Arab sounding flutes, I did not see any snakes coming out. The music was weird, I guess they tried their bes

"Great Pilsner beer, but the service needs improvement. We came to enjoy a local drink and had a good time overall, but the staff were quite rude and dismissive towards tourists. Hospitality is part of the experience, and unfortunately it was lacking here. We'd return for the beer, but not because of the service."

Cool place. I used to go there more often. Went back recently and I was surprised to see there's a 15% service fee 🤯 for bar service. Also, you can keep the vibe, but so some cleaning around your service equipment ffs. We live in the neighborhood, and I'm a big fan of neighborhood bars, but probably it'll be a while before I go back again. Hopefully it's a bit better by then.

Local bar for local people but friendly to anyone just passing by. Easy to miss as it's tucked away but if U fancy a beer out of the tourist spot then this is the place.

Good atmosphere with live music. Nice beer garden. Interesting choices of eclectic furniture. This place was near our hotel and we went in twice as it was the best bar close by in the area.
