Down Town Central Perk in Centrum

Cozy pub and the bouncers are quite reasonable, and if you're normal they are just friendly, they just don't want any macho behavior.

You have to pay for the toilet, but there aren't even toilet seats on the bowls, and that toilet really looks like a squatters' den. Everything is broken.

A few weeks ago, I was chatting on the patio because someone called me. I wanted to catch up and say hello, until I thought the owner, a rather large, bald man, came out and asked me to get off his patio. He didn't give any reason or explanation for what I'd done wrong. Then, through a DJ friend of mine, I had to hear a story I'd never heard before. Can't an owner explain that to me himself?

I've never written a review before, but I'm going to make an exception. There's a wheel behind the bar in this pub where you can "win" things. We arrived and I thought, fine, fun. One spin costs 2 euros; I'm willing to spin for 10 euros. "Spin 5 times, okay?" said the man behind the bar. The first time I spun, I won a free punch card for 4 spins. Fine, that's nice. They spun again: 4 Apfelkorn. Again, 4 beers. Again, 6 beers. Again, 5 Flügels. The bartender cheerfully poured everything and made it clear that I had to pay for this now. If you read carefully, it says >ORDER!!< 4 beers on the wheel - not win. Order 6 beers, order 5 Flügels. I had won the Apfelkorn, but I had to pay for the rest! With 4 spins left to go, I said stop, that's it now. We were halfway through my turns, and that 10 euro spin turned into €32.00 that had to be paid. "This isn't the intention," I said, "here is your money back." That wasn't possible anymore; we had to pay, otherwise we weren't allowed to leave. There is a sign on the wall next to the wheel, behind the bar, stating that nothing can be exchanged, so you don't have a leg to stand on. In my time, I've seen many pubs and also many of these kinds of giveaways. Never one where you "win" an obligation to buy drinks. They make good money with this, I understand that much. When I then get into an argument with the student who has a weekend side job here as a security guard and say to her: "I really don't think this is acceptable," she doesn't say a word - no pun intended. I then said: "Think carefully again about this wheel and how you do this." She responded with a dry "no." By the grace of God, the Flügel was still closed, so we could return it. After paying 22 euros, I had everything poured into plastic cups and left quickly. I never want to come here again. In the ratings here on maps, I read many comments along the lines of 'spin the wheel, always a winner. Definitely do it, man!'. I cannot believe these are genuine reviews.
