👍👍 Loved everything about this place. From the moment we stepped in, we already fell in love. The place is cool and calming, with a very pleasant fragrance and not the toxic fumes from cigarettes as you would get in other bars. We were greeted and served by Nappy who was just awesome at what he does !...
