The exterior of this bar gets a fresh coat of blood red paint so often that the facade just shimmers in the sun like it's dripping wet. Behind the fence there are four or five small tables for al fresco seating. Inside the dracula appeal turns out to be less than incidental. The bar is dark, the ceiling high and a broken TV-set that seems to like purple a lot more than any other color silently runs non-stop trashy horror movies. The music seems to be a tasteful collection of eclectic indie and rock classics that every hour or so makes me go: "Oh wow, remember this?". Next to guys night out Beast is also good for breakfast and dinner. The modestly sized portions of food are simple dishes exquisitely prepared.
