It's a tiny, tiny place with a madhouse vibe and a set of scaffolding composing the second level of seating. Assuredly not up to fire code, but more charming as a result.

It seems to, in a certain regard, cater to the gay scene in Valencia. That being said, it is not a "gay bar," and the majority of customers are heterosexual.
They only have Mahou on tap, but they have a sizable selection of liquor--including the only bottle of Southern Comfort I saw in Spain.
