Went in while desperately needing a break from checking out the town and the local Christmas market. Was easy to find a place to sit around 18, but quickly filled up very soon after I came in. Really lovely bartender, made a great Irish coffee :) Would love to come back whenever I'm in town next.

We passed by here on a (very) early Saturday evening. It looked relaxed, so we went in. It was very quiet (understandable at that time), but we felt no less welcome. Friendly bartender. Nice atmosphere. (Clean restrooms 😅) And good drinks.

Cozy cafe, where even as a loner you can get conversation.

Friendly neighborhood gay bar. Very welcoming to travelers. Usually not too crowded and the music is at a level where you can still have a conversation.
