This is cosy, friendly, great customer service, nice and friendly customers as well, top service, quiet and chilled ambient, etc, and all good there. I can't find whatsoever to complain. And also average to cheap prices,, like, an old whisky (portuguese served) + a bottle of coke, for 4.30€,, what else more...? Thank you, Cafe D. João!
