“ I went this evening and enjoyed stopping here for a couple of drinks. Very friendly too. ”
“ Great stop after castle and church visit! Kind personnel :) ”
“ By far the best bar and the best coffee and the best beer in Rijeka ”
“ Lovely waiter Edo was very nice and kind. He offered us a special drink which he created right on the spot. He seems like a very interesting character who likes to chat. ”
“ Yesterday I was there in search of a not cold, freshly squeezed orange juice without a straw which I had NOT got neither in Zagreb nor in Bjelovar. A very, very kind young lady named Nika (extraordinarily beautiful with her long hair with lockings; GOOGLE TRANSLATION says "izvrsna lijepotica") and an equally kind and athletic youngster named Ronan (with a biceps to envy - not too big but certainly massive enough to be noticed; GOOGLE TRANSLATION says "macan") worked in the service. They seemed to be in best relationship, a 'dream team'. So sorry everybody, what you surely won't get is one of them or their phone numbers. But what you will get is a refreshing freshly squeezed orange juice served in a good atmosphere by nice young people who try to react to their customer's special wishes. ;-) ”
“ Popped into this roadside bar a very short walk from the Trsat castle. Norma and Liza fancied a snack. This being Croatia we bought food from the Mlinar next door. A small pizza for 2€ and a Burek for 2.40€. The bar had a nice terrace by the road ( not too busy.) Small interior space, couple of booths.Paulicarus ordered a 0.5l Karlovačko 2.70€. Madge a Coke Zero for 2.60€. Nice relaxing bar. Easy access back to town on the No2. bus. Good friendly service. Usual piped music; but not loud. Good area of town for drinking. Next bar literally next door. ”
