Super nice, friendly and attentive staff. Would gladly come again.
I was verbally abused, defended myself, and got thrown out. And the people who cause trouble are allowed to stay. Thanks for that, shitty place.
Worst place ever. If you're harassed or insulted, the bouncer protects the perpetrators – what a shame.
