Great place to take evening drink. I stop to grab a 0.0% beer. In first place they guy behind the counter was very unpleasant, I waited until by the counter waiting until he come closer but for the question “can ask a questions” he said short -“No”. WhiskeyTangoFoxstrot, LoL xD I just arrived, don’t speak german, and wanna ask a if they offer nonalcoholic drinks. First few minutes the was unpleasantly stressful, but the waitress was helpful, she explained me what I can order and suggested a great bear. I back later, and bring friends with me. The huge dow side for mi is no card payments, and no for about that no where, so I end up in a situation when I had no cash and no option to clear the receipt. I leave without paying (I ordered just 1 0.0% beer waiting for my Rbnb.) and back later with cash. No info from waitress where is nearest cash machine wasn’t helpful either. I googled a one 7min walk away but it tried to charge me €3.95 for windrow €10. There is a cash machines 300yards down the road, literally 2 minutes walk away that doesn’t charge extra for taking a cash, it will be good if the bar service know such details just in case. Overall 4 for me, I was there 3 times, like it and will come back but those issues shall be sorted.
