Although their selection is small, it is excellent, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Now that they've expanded their service offerings, we’re eager to give that a try.

The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, with a mostly older crowd at the bar. While they don't have darts or billiards, they do offer trivia and showcase all the sports games. It's a great spot to avoid the tourist traps in the area, and it's conveniently located near the train station.
