Black Prince If you're looking for someplace centrally located, clean, and
unfussy, then try the Black Prince, an American-influenced pub with a 1950s bent.
All rooms come with a shower and a bathtub. Room no. 8 is the landlord's favorite
here, because “it's nearer to the stairs so you don't have to walk too far” (presum-
ably beneficial when you've had a few beers). Downstairs, the American-style bar
called Joe's Garage is popular, especially on weekends. The American-influenced
restaurant serves up budget-priced steaks and chicken dishes. Lunch is offered
Monday through Friday, and dinner Monday through Saturday.
