Description
The experience here shifts between an easygoing neighborhood pub and a more rigid setup. On a good night, bartenders recommend pours like Veltins beer to a friendly crowd. On others, visitors have encountered hostility over tipping and a firm refusal to replace a drink—even when a newly ordered frozen margarita spills on a wobbly table. It remains a straightforward stop, provided you keep a steady hand on your glass.
