A bit tucked away in a alley, you'll find this pub: clearly the outcome of an accurate interior design project, its nice and warm interiors are a collection of memorabilia ranging from an old motorbike and a car, to a surgical lamp hanging over your head. The whole venue is fitted with wooden furniture and other objects from the past, rearranged in a way that gives you a comfortable place to drink a beer or two.
