"Établissement refait à neuf il y a quelques mois et déjà vandalisé...les prix sont corrects et l'accueil du ou des barmans est bienveillant et sympathique... Heureusement car les propriétaires...famille.. passent leur temps dans l'espace tabac qui est pris d'assaut...ils ne saluent même pas le client et on sent bien qu'ils se fichent complètement du bar et de vous. Heureusement que les barmans sont là pour redonner un peu de chalet d'humanité à l'endroit... S'il n'y avait pas le tabac l'établissement serait déjà fermé... 4 étoiles pour les barmans..."

"J'y vais que pour chercher des clopes. Ce tabac est toujours ouvert, même très tard. Ce qui n'est pas négligeable... Attention, il y a souvent la queue... Le serveur est super sympa. Ce que je peux dire du café, c'est qu'il y a souvent du monde et qu'il retransmet les matchs de football."
