How to Find the Right Bar

• Drinks menu: Look at the menu beforehand. That shows whether cocktails, long drinks, beer or wine are the focus.
• Location: The old town is compact, and many addresses are close together. You can move on spontaneously if you do not like one place.
• Time of day: Some venues combine café and bar. There you can also stop in earlier in the day.
