The music ranges from indie and alternative to electronic and folk, paired with a friendly, laidâback crowd and occasional foosball tournaments up top. Entry usually involves a small donation (âŹ1â5), making it affordable and inclusive. Drink selection is strong, featuring well-crafted cocktails (including the namesake âMme.âŻClaudeâ), beers from about âŹ3.50, and standard spiritsâall served with casual charm.
