Traveler reviews
Sara Minoli
★★★★★3 years agoWe found this place by chance and loved it. The performance of the band at the Jazzraum on Monday evening was really good. The atmosphere is cozy and chilled. Highly recommended. Just be aware that there is only drinks and no food at the bar.
Rodrigo Valencia
