Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, specials, and navigating the venue for a smooth visit

  • Timing Your Visit Around Live Music

    Live acoustic sets run Friday evenings from 7pm onwards. If you prefer a quiet, conversational catch-up with friends, schedule dinner earlier before live performances begin.

  • Catching Daily Meal and Drink Specials

    Take advantage of structured weekday deals—such as Monday specials and Wednesday schnitzel discounts—alongside extended happy hour drink specials until 8pm.

  • Navigating Interior Space and Seating

    The bar features a sloped entrance and table ordering, but the aisle between the bar counter and wall seating can feel tight when navigating with mobility aids or walkers.
