The bar is small and dark  which may make it seem unwelcoming to unfamiliar patrons, however, the bar stocks a wide selection of local drinking games, which could be the perfect icebreakers for making friends.

A nice little pub to spend an evening in, or to stop by at while bar-hopping in the DongQu district.
