About
Quick facts: A rotating tap list often changes day-to-day, with more than 20 beers on tap so regulars can sample rare barrel-aged and experimental brews. Bright, hand-lettered chalkboards and communal wooden tables make ordering and swapping tasting flights feel like sharing secrets with friends.
Highlights: A quirky tradition sees a blind-tasting challenge held monthly, featuring four numbered samples where winners take home a free 33 cl bottle. Warm amber lighting and the scent of citrus hops make each sip feel like peeling back layers of flavor, especially when a bartender points out a single-hop IPA aged in rum barrels.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 7 pm on weekdays to secure a spot at the long bar.
- Wear smart-casual clothes, locals often dress neatly even for bars.
- Photograph the chalkboard tap list near the entrance for easy ordering notes.
- Avoid late Saturday nights if you want quieter conversation and attentive staff.
