Located in a street leading to the beach, it offers an almost exhaustive menu of classic cocktails and liqueurs. All you will have to do is settle down in a nice semi-open space with white walls and comfortable leather sofas and accompany the drinks with a few homemade tapas. It's up to you to see then, if like Un singe en hiver in a Henri Verneuil film, these different drinks will transport you to Cairo.

It celebrated its fortieth anniversary in December 2023. After being a "tienda de marinos" grocery store from 1927 to 1977, it became a pub until 1983.

The key to its success is its family-friendly atmosphere, gin and tonics served "without frills", and a soundtrack featuring jazz and national and international pop from the '80s and '90s.
