Yes, it exists. A bar dedicated to the legendary band — with black-and-white posters, synth music on loop, and an unmistakably nostalgic feel. Come for the theme, stay for the drinks.
Sigmund Freud Bar – Drinks with a Touch of Madness
Quirky, smart and full of personality. Freud Bar serves up cocktails with names like “Oedipus”, “Ego” and “Unconscious Desire”. It’s playful, philosophical and actually pretty damn good.
