Now if you're not a local it is pretty statistically rare that you would know about it. Of course of the group of folks I met at Trois Rois, we ended up at dinner and then finally at this place.

If the inside atmosphere is a bit stuffy, you can go outside and sit on the banks of the Rhein (note: no glasses outside after midnight).

I've been here during the afternoon when there weren't many customers and it was ok but when we came at around 10:30 pm it was absolutely terrible. We ordered our shisha and drinks after 10 minutes of waiting. After that we waited another 20 minutes with nothing until I stared down a waitress and she came over to say that they didn't have the flavor we wanted anymore. You couldn't have told us that right away or even 5 minutes after ordering? Just terrible.
