  • “Nice tapas, good wine, fab staff & loud music! At the age of 70 I must have been the oldest client there the two times I visited. I loved it, especially in the evening with loud music, a very nice and comfortable feeling in the bar, happy people eating and drinking away, minding their own businesses and smiling a bit at the odd old man!” - Trip Advisor
  • "This place is perfect if you want to go out with friends. The tenders are fast and the music is nice, not too loud, so you can still hear others speaking." - Trip Advisor
  • “Cool place to hang out. The atmosphere here is very casual. Service is really good. The guy that was serving our food was quite patient with my rowdy group. Prices are okay, music is good, ambiance is great and tapas are well priced.” - Trip Advisor
