A little spoiler for you at the very start of the description of this place: Craft Baza is a drinkers place only. This means that the only food you will find here is beer appetizers like smoked meat and salty peanuts. It is a place for true beer lovers.
The atmosphere is nice, it reminds you a bit more of a café than a bar. The place is a bit cold, so it is better to take a jacket with you if you get cold easily. Craft Baza is one of the very few places where you can taste, drink and take home craft beer, which is also at a reasonable price. They have a lot of different types of beer you will totally love. My favorite is the Porter (dark beer, they have it with the aroma of coffee and chocolate), but I also enjoy a Paulaner from time to time.
The best thing about Craft Baza is that you can buy and enjoy your favorite craft beer at home.
