Gregory Gavanas
★★★★★a year agoSuperb! It’s as dark as it needs to be in order to keep this old, moody atmosphere! We had a few cocktails there with colleagues and we had a great time. The young lady that served us was super helpful. Drinks were strong and clear, prices were fair enough. I recommend the place for sure! odil prochain prix <3
