It is a nice pub. During happy hours, with drinks, peanuts and sausage are offered free.

Good crowd. Less one star because of not so great ambience. Everything else is superb.

The beers & service are awesome - but there is essentially no food here other than a few happy hour snacks. Google reviews are WAY out of touch on this.

I highly recommend going there at happy hour time (from 5pm). Not only is the beer cheaper, you get peanuts and half a saucisson for free, which is pretty generous. Aside from that, the beer selection is great and seems to change often. The waitress also had extensive knowledge of the selection and can easily guide your choice depending on your mood.

Nice place, with good selection of beers and good prices. Most important is that the people that works there are warm and kind!

A typically french café / bar. You can eat here for your lunch and share a beer/wine/spirituous during night. Come early it maybe really crowded after 8pm
