Well, it's definately an interesting place.  First off: the cappuccino was very good, didn't need any sugar. Perfect combination of strong coffee and the right amount of milk. It was small though and it costs at the time I was there,  2.30€ or so. So it's rather pricy. The waiters needed long, for serving as well as for getting the money. I was there on a Sunday at around 1600 and it was full, but not crowded. The guests there were very international and you could see enough bearded-berlin-guys. People were drinking beer as well as tequila shots... at 1600 on a Sunday, so the mood was good ;) The place itself is classy, especially the places at the window. If you go further inside, it got classy in another way. Some chairs, like the one on the picture, reminded me strongly of the chairs we had in our elementary school XD I have to admit that my chair wasn't even and therefore it was moving and the table was too low for the chair. I guess you're not supposed to sit at the table like when you are dining or whatever. All in all its an interesting place with very good, but...

I went in search of a friend last night who had absconded previous to my eventual arrival, without informing me of this unfortunate development. Ignorant, I stormed the stairs. The bouncer initially repelled me, but I informed him that my intentions were noble - as I had company inside. "Show me your phone," he said, "that's what they all say."

Complying with his request, I motioned to my pocket. Within that motion, the door was opened, and I walked inside.

I loved Luzia quickly for the faded grandeur, hard wood floor and long, long stretch of territory made up of the bar. Ready glasses are under lit white light. And everyone, everyone was gorgeous. "Like, damn," I said.

I drank a couple of small beers and people watched, spoke to the staff who were all really rather friendly, and listened to some excellent music while thinking about where it all went wrong. Heh.

Indulgence in ridiculous prose over, Yeah, good bar, maybe pricy and a bit exclusive feeling but I had a nice night for the short stint that I was there for.

Will return with more...
