   Read moreI love this place . It is a very nice bar with three floors , the ground level one, the upstairs and the underground , all three very accommodating.

Lâambiance est chaleureuse, conviviale et accueillante, parfaite pour se dĂ©tendre entre amis ou mĂȘme seul. La dĂ©coration, avec son style authentique et lĂ©gĂšrement vintage, donne immĂ©diatement le ton : ici, on est lĂ pour passer un bon moment.
Mais ce qui rend cet endroit vraiment unique, câest lâĂ©quipe formidable qui le fait vivre, et en particulier Paul. Ce jeune homme incarne le professionnalisme et lâamabilitĂ© Ă la perfection. Toujours souriant, attentif et dâune grande efficacitĂ©, il sait parfaitement comment rendre chaque client spĂ©cial. Que ce soit pour un conseil sur les cocktails ou simplement pour Ă©changer quelques mots sympathiques, Paul est une vĂ©ritable perle rare. Il contribue largement Ă lâatmosphĂšre positive qui rĂšgne dans cet Ă©tablissement.
Les boissons sont variĂ©es et de qualitĂ©, avec un choix impressionnant de biĂšres et de cocktails qui raviront tous les palais.
