Very bad bar Bad staff, rude Barmen, a boy and a girl, shouted a lot, their behavior was childish, they made faces at us, We asked them to wipe the bar table from which beer was dripping, after which they called security and for this we were taken out, our cocktails remained on the bar, not drunk, because we were taken out and paid for No one responded to the review either on Instagram or by mail The bar is terrible, I do not recommend it! The opinion about this establishment causes negativity

The service is unbelievably rude. My boyfriend was grabbed by the throat out of nowhere and thrown to the ground by security. GET A STEAL?!? And the toilet is nowhere to be found. People were standing inside smoking and our flag was stolen (I am sure of it!!!!) and they say they don't have it. Really a place full of incompetent fools. I'm going there again tonight, but they are walking on thin ice. By the way, we did get a free bottle of Bacardi Razz (disgusting). Probably because they realized themselves that the way they treated us was NOT acceptable. Jeez😾
