    I was at this pub three or four times in 1990. Unfortunately, I have not been back into this nice little place since 1990 so it might have changed considerably.

    This rather plain looking, late-night pub (it apparently does not open until 10:00pm or so) was (is?) run by a very nice man named Hans. There was a steady stream of friendly locals who kept popping in to say hello to their friend Hans. Many of these locals spoke at least a little English and they all tried their best to speak to us and make us feel welcome.

    When we were there we initially thought that this place was frequented ONLY by locals. Then Hans pointed out an entire wall that was covered by postcards. There seemed to well over a hundred postcards sent by former customers from all over the world. Apparently, most if not all of them had, just like us, stumbled into this little pub completely by accident. And, just like us, they enjoyed the friendly and jovial Hans so much that they sent him a postcard from wherever they lived.

    I hope other visitors to Mephistopheles can post their reviews of this friendly little pub. I certainly hope that it is still going strong, and still operated by that friendly man named Hans.

    • Does anyone know if this pub still exists, or if they have added a web site?
