Es uno de los mejores bares de Astillero. Tiene buen servicio, el ambiente es excelente, y los precios son correctos. Hay variedad de pinchos de tortilla y otros. También tienes la posibilidad de tomar un plato combinado. Está situado en la Plaza del Mercado. Tiene 2 plantas: Planta Baja y Primera Planta. Además tiene una Terraza cubierta. La Terraza cubierta, los lunes no se puede usar, porque hay mercado.

Excelente trato y buena relación calidad precio, servicio rápido, posibilidad de sentarte en interior y/o exterior. Sitio ideal para estar con niños, al estar en la plaza y cerrado al tránsito de vehículos.
