Very cheap and a great place to grab a quick drink in the Old Town! The staff are friendly and they speak English very well :)

Cheap place to drink, but not much to eat...

Very nice place with many drinks and beers. The one wrong issue is that the waiter doesn't speak English well. But i can order anything from menu without any problem. Grettings from Croatia!

2/5Михаил Васильев

The bartender is rude, does not issue a check (says that he threw it away), does not ask for confirmation of payment by card, advertises promo, but in fact says that there is no promo; if you are sitting at the bar, drinking beer, reading, - he knocks on the bar and shouts “do not sleep”, really :) although the bar itself is good - delicious vodka, herring and beer too.

3/5Caroline Rak

Too noisy in my opinion otherwise everything is ok
