Marktgasse 14; 6pm-late)
In business since the 1950s, this cupboard of a
bar hosts a jukebox with boisterous hits of years gone by and a regular clientele that can
get good-naturedly rowdy at times. Some punters tipple on the street but duck inside to
soak in the music-hall-style decor.

ing lounge-bar arrangement (with a tiny courtyard at the side), the 'Dani H' is a cruisy
place to start the night. It is hetero-friendly.
