Reviews
Went there by myself, I think with a bit of luck it took less than a minute to meet another person that wanted to play as well. Beer is quite expensive and you pay for the time at the chessboard as well. But I had a good time and the vibes were there.
Rating would be 4.8! Really great wine, great atmosphere! Expensive wines but value for money. If you like wine, you’re guaranteed to get a good glass! Great atmosphere, really enjoyed having a wine and playing some chess! Could do with some better food options though, I feel like they could do better snack options
