Au Thebkarokee, le barman Sebastian était super sympa & serviable, il essayait même de parler français, tout en servant les boissons à toute vitesse ! Un endroit génial & un barman au top ! N'hésitez pas à lui donner un bon pourboire, même si le patron ne peut peut-être pas lui offrir une grosse augmentation, il représente vraiment bien ce bar ! Jérôme, avec sa coupe en queue de rat, était un peu moins sympa. Philippe était sympa aussi !

Bon potentiel mais le même groupe monopolise le karaoke ce qui fait que les autres ne peuvent pas chanter. Pour clarifier je parle des même 2 personnes qui chantent genre 15 fois par soirée pas des groupes de 10 qui chantent une fois chacun.
