Es un bar de toda la vida. Con su cafetera, sus aperitivos y sus botellas de ginebra, whisky y ron. La atención de los que trabajan aquí es una auténtica maravilla, y la tortilla de patatas es de las mejores (si no la mejor) de la zona. De verdad, no le puedo poner ninguna pega al que fue mi bar se referencia en los 8 meses que estuve trabajando en el barrio. Todo muy bien.
