This is a very subjective opinion because I started coming to this place over 20 years ago as a 16 year old during a year abroad in Lübeck. We were in here all the time with my friends when kicking off the night or stopping in between to grab a drink. We used to all know Thomas who worked here way back when and the vibe in this place remains the same: extremely communal! I hadn 't been here probably in 15 years and returned the other night with a friend. There 's a new bartender/owner (I didn 't get his name) but nothing 's changed and it couldn 't be better. Super nice mix of completely random people...no one gives a sh!t here if .you 're rich or poor, a metal head or a princess. Everyone seems nice and if they aren 't, they surely are before walking out the door. I live in the meanwhile in Hamburg but I will definitely be hitting this place more often when up in Lübeck. Yes, it 's small (max. capacity of 18) but that 's the charm of this place. Further, it 's a bit of a dive bar but in a good way. They still have a great selection of drinks and alcohol and the small meals are just as good as ever.....if you realise you are ordering bar food. The interior is mostly wood and I 'd say it dates back at least 30 years but could even be 50 years with little updates here and there.....in summary, vintage. Everything wooden is well worn but this just adds to the experience. It is a smoking bar so do bring your iron lungs (or cigarettes).
