Típico bar de barrio, agradable, con personas del barrio. Está abierto desde los desayunos a las cenas, tiene tapas y bocadillos/sándwich/hamburguesas. Los camareros y cocinero son muy agradables y atienden genial. Me pilla cerca de casa, voy varias veces a la semana ya que me encuentro muy agusto allí. Volveré? Probablemente esta noche a tomar una cerveza y un montadito del 24, a ver si un día le echo una foto

Bar con muy buenos precios que anima mucho la calle. Está abierto desde las siete de la mañana hasta por la noche. El café está muy bueno y las tostadas las hacen también muy ricas, de los desayunos que más me gustan en Cartagena. La cerveza, siempre fría, y las tapas, bocadillos, montaditos, etc muy bien puestos. El personal es amable y atento y el servicio muy rápido, nunca hay que esperar para que te sirvan. De vez en cuando, hacen caldero, que está brutal, el mejor que he probado en ningún sitio de Cartagena y alrededores. Siempre que podemos, encargamos, sobre todo si tenemos invitados, y nunca falla, se van encantados. Enhorabuena al personal por el gran trabajo y esfuerzo que han hecho todos estos años, han conseguido con ello una clientela fiel. Seguid así.
