Avantika Mathur
★★★★★2 weeks agoHad to check out this place to see if they really take your shoes when you order a beer. And they did not disappoint! Definitely worth checking out. It was quite the experience and I’d come back for sure. AND, they had an entire selection of gluten free beers!
Lukáš Gába
★★★★★a month agoA great place with a wide selection of different beers. They also have their typical 1.5L beer, but you have to leave one shoe as a deposit for it, which makes the experience even more fun and memorable. I definitely recommend visiting this place.
