It's open air, but has three large ceiling cooling units on the ceiling. There were 6 staff, and 2 patrons counting myself. All three air units are directed directly to the floor below. This makes the rest of the bar extremely hot. The only place to stay cool is unfortunately right below the air, which is like being in a wind storm, I tried three different seats. Great beer and German menu, tried the meatballs, ok but nothing special. The staff is lackadaisical and appear to take their job as a social hour. Meatballs were cooled off before I could finish them. It might be better late at night. Four Huge booths that could sit 8 people each easily.
