    Superbe expérience dans ce bar où l’ambiance est à la fois originale et chaleureuse. Nous étions installés dans une salle conviviale qui donne immédiatement envie de s’y attarder. Alexandre nous a régalés avec des cocktails créés spécialement pour nous, aussi délicieux qu’inventifs. Mention spéciale pour sa gentillesse et son sens du détail ! Quentin, quant à lui, nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de convivialité : feu de poêle allumé, attentions régulières, toujours le mot chaleureux pour s’assurer que tout se passe bien. Cerise sur le gâteau, nous avons même pu mettre notre musique sur l’enceinte, ce qui a rendu le moment encore plus agréable. Et pour ne rien gâcher, la bière maison est un vrai régal : fraîche, savoureuse, avec ce petit caractère artisanal qu’on adore. Merci à l’artisan ! Un endroit où l’on se sent vraiment bien et où l’on a envie de revenir. Je recommande sans hésiter ! Bisous de La Rochelle !
