I had the time of my life here. Bring cash or hit the ATM. Drinks are cheap and strong, so tip Jonah please. Enjoys the hot box girls in all their glory. I even lost my wallet here and got it back the next day with all the contents.

Cash only small bar to chat and enjoy some drinks. Long day? Just want to talk? This is a great option. Please don’t expect something fancy or modern, it is a clean nice place to chat
