Service was good. Atmosphere was a bit off, not a real rock/metal one, felt like it's trying to be.

Went there with my gf to grab a beer & watch a period during semi finals. Staff is extremely rude & slow. 4 girls behind the counter with barely anyone waiting & I seemed to have annoyed them by asking for a beer?

They also torture live piranhas by putting them in tanks right under the very loud tables. This causes extreme panic to fishes every single day as they detect changes in water pressure & vibrations to know when to hide

As a local I can confidently suggest you skip this awful place, nothing will be gained from that experience other than sheer disgust
