Fun pub to explore, but unfortunately the food (while decent) wasn’t anything special and the serving staff weren’t the most friendly. I can imagine it’s a nicer pub to drink in, rather than eat.

Unbedingt empfehlenswert. Ein historischer Pub im originellen Ambiente mit mehreren Gasträumen über mehrere Etagen und im Keller.
