The plentiful boughs outside of the little bar provide ample shade for an outdoor restaurant area, where scores of tables are set. The beautiful tree is claimed to be one of the world’s oldest.

Visitors can expect all the regular accoutrements of a small pub, including a dart board which hangs on one of the tree’s interior walls. The place even has its own cellar, with natural ventilation to keep the beer cool.
