What makes The Drinkery special

The Drinkery is a simple neighbourhood bar without a stage or dance floor: yellow walls, a V-shaped counter, an old snack machine. Next door is the quieter lounge „The Other Side“. Guests praise the bar staff and the karaoke nights; criticism concerns the dark, somewhat dusty room.
