This looks more like a military forward command post than a bar. The military-style decoration and regular salon for military fans makes it a favourite hangout for those interested in matters military and the art of war.

On entering you’ll see a portrait of a soldier drawn by the owner, next to which is a shelf displaying items such as shoulder emblems, weapons carried by a guard of honour and maps used in a number of famous wars. Also on the walls are pictures of planes, warships, telescopes and radio transmitters.

Usually video tapes on present-day weapons and war documentaries are screened. Even martial magazines are on offer.
