"Where 14 EURO Dreams (and Drinks) Go to Die"

If you've ever wondered what it's like to sip on a glass of water with just a whisper of juice, I’ve got the perfect spot for you! This place is a masterclass in making you pay for air, with their award-winning "watered-down-juice-just-like-mom-never-made" recipe.

Seeing the location, it's unfortunate that it was closed during our visit. However, the fact that the views were awesome is a definite silver lining. Perhaps another time, the place will be accessible, allowing you to fully experience everything. Hopefully, you still found enjoyment and satisfaction from the experience despite the closure.
