Don't forget to wave to the doorman (bouncer) on your way down the stairs. He's a bit stiff, so don't fret if he doesn't wave back.

The Unterhausen Castle Cellar Pub doesn't disappoint in either decor or food. (The staff is also great!) From the block walls to the wooden beams overhead and the Renaissance light fixtures, the space feels authentic and cozy.
