The house-made beers are pretty good, although some are a bit silly (chili and rauch) and aimed at the non-beer-drinker crowd.

They used to have a great IPA that they've removed from the menu, so that's a semi-tragedy.

Food is okay. At first I really liked it, but then I realized every dish tasted exactly the same no matter what it was -- I think they must use old oil, and lots of it. However, it's prett tasty nonetheless and not very expensive.

The setting is in one of the oldest buildings in Wien in one of the most charming old streets. They have a small outdoor area for enjoying yourself but they close it relatively early out of respect for the neighbors.

Warning: this place gets SMOKED OUT and has no nonsmoking area.
