THE DUKE day bar · Saturday noon to 5pm
On Saturdays the bar belongs to cake.
Isabel bakes, the coffee machine hums, and the old brick walls that see cocktails at night fill with the smell of fresh pastry. What is ready in the morning goes on the counter. Once it is gone, it is gone. For refined daydrinking there is our small but fine day bar menu. At 5pm the evening bar takes the helm.
- Home-baked cakes and cookies, a different selection every week
- Coffee specialities, iced coffee and home-made lemonade
- Day bar menu with aperitivo, drink classics and non-alcoholic options
- Terrace in front of the brick building
- Baked by Isabel, sister of our Max
- Free parking directly at the distillery
| Saturday | 12:00 – 17:00 |
