Score context

Prenzlauer Berg hideaway behind a glowing Beckett portrait: leather chairs, classics, reservation buzzer. Fodor's and older Tripadvisor praise martinis and the clubby dark room; volume is thinner and some call pours heavy or pricey.

Source excerpt
“The only indication anything exists behind this bar's curtained facade is a glowing photograph of the head of Samuel Beckett in the window.”
