Very nice bar especially to go and have a beer (excellent too) with your friends after classes (or instead of classes)

Excellent atmosphere, the drinks were not many, mostly they were the classics found in every bar, just a little more expensive than usual, on the other hand there was a wide choice of beers. No table service so every time you want to order something you have to go to the counter in person and also pay each time you consume it

When you ask for a Coca Cola, it's complicated to see a drink that comes out of nowhere 🤮, that no one knows and which is really different from a real Coke. Especially since no waiter warns that it won't be a real coke. I'm not sure they would appreciate it if, when paying, we gave them Monopoly tickets... It's called respecting customers' choices! For the dishes, on the other hand, nothing to complain about, it's very good! *edit following the owner's response. No, I'm not ashamed, but I would be ashamed to serve anything other than what the customer asks for, especially drinks to vomit, at the price of the drinks requested.

An amazing bar just off the Plainpalais. Bartenders are very heavy-handed with the spirits, and you definitely get your money's worth! The range of cocktails is excellent. Only downside is the poor ventilation - it gets pretty warm towards the end of the day.

When we arrived, they refused us to order at the bar, because a waiter had to "arrive". Once we came to our table, the bearded waiter threatened to take us out of the bar, because we made a remark about the serving time. In short, the service left something to be desired and we do not recommend going there, because the waiter is unpleasant and the friendly atmosphere of the bar is compromised. After reading the bar's response, I took the liberty of modifying it, because I do not understand such a closure worthy of Parisian brasseries. Not being able to discern the difference between an insult and a remark is the last straw for a trader. Oh yes it's true! I apparently don't know what I'm talking about! I don't think it's the right way to build customer loyalty by rejecting them. Questioning themselves or trying to change the way they operate is obviously not a priority for them. At your own risk, if you decide to confront their bitterness.
