From 1920 to 1994 it was a German Kneipe / Beer bar / Wirtshaus for drinking and Eating.

From 1994-96 it was a 'Sun-Studio', with sun tanning machines, where we inherite the white tiles on the floor from.

where as people from Australia, Japan, Belgium, England, Scotland, Canada, Taiwan, Scandinavia, Finland, Africa and Chengdu (China) are mostly always very excited and happy about our cozy set up.

Some might find our antique outfit being cool and cozy, others may prefer more the modern style. We are definitely not modern, but old fashioned.
