Reviews Summary
This traditional bar offers a lively atmosphere with a range of burgers and bar fare, often praised for its good value and local beer selection.

"We were looking for a place not too fancy and with a warm atmosphere. This place delivered both. Charming and friendly, menu in both Spanish and English."

"Nice restaurant but food quality very average. My hamburger bun was dry. My wife's chicken was just average. Thr best part of the meal was a bear and pumpkin soup. We spent around $40 USD. It's March 2025.
I would not recommend it."
Maciej Piotrowski
"We had a quick lunch here despite reading the recent negative reviews. Thankfully, we are happy to report that staff were friendly and service was prompt. Fries were good, and we enjoyed a glass of wine. The burger was okay, slightly dry but they provided some packets of condiments. The panini sandwich was our own negative experience as the cheese was not fully melted and the bread was not toasted. It was very dry as well and we chose not to finish it."
