Cafetería situada junto a la Iglesia de San Pedro. En la parte exterior cuenta con una extensa terraza la cual "suele" haber servicio de terraza, que no es siempre. Desde ella, los crios suelen corretear por el parque cercano y así los padres pueden disfrutar de una cervecita. La parte interior es algo oscura. Cuenta con grandes televisores para ver deportes. Se retransmiten todos los partidos de fútbol. Para acceder los aseos hay que subir unos escalones, lo que impide que se pueda acceder con silla de ruedas. Los fines de semana se realizan calamares, patatas Bravas, sepia y oreja a la gallega.

La dueña es un encanto, pedimos unos calamares y unos champiñones, ambas cosas estaban muy ricas, a mi me gusto mas lo segundo. El café también está muy bueno. Tiene una terraza amplia en el que se tiene sombra y corre el aire, se agradece en verano. Buen ambiente tanto dentro como fuera del bar que también es muy amplio. Repetiremos.
