Speakeasy
A restaurant themed after the early 20th-century American prohibition era. The menu is very meat-oriented, but there are fish and vegetarian options available. The entire menu concentrates mostly on thick, greasy diner food. The restaurant is famous for its chicken wings, and the biggest option available consists of no less than 200 wings. There are four different choices of sauce – mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. Try the mobster sandwiches – there's a chicken, bacon and fish option available, each with vegetables and spices, served with French fries. This is usually the last restaurant open in the Finlayson factory building.
Mostly 10:00–23:00Main courses €10–20 – not counting the chicken wings; 200 wings will cost over €100
