April 2024 Update: We probably spent about 300 USD in there and towards the end of the meal and beers, they wanted to kick us out because we complained that there were too many people smoking indoors and no windows were being opened...one of my friends told a guy who was smoking not to close the window and minutes after, the waiters came and told us we were being "too loud" in a beer bar...anyways, not going back to this place ever again, especially since one of my other friends in the group also said that this was the second time at this place that he was asked to lower his voice-this is a a BAR folks!
