Manoella Rezende
★★★★★a year agoAmazing view, many types of beer, decent price. It can be crowded and chaotic, but it’s absolutely worth it!
Ria C
★★★★★a month agoIf you want to just take a break from walking and the heat, order some beer and just sit out and enjoy the view. Lunch time is nice to enjoy the patio under the shade. Crew are really nice. Had some sandwich and a cold beer.
