The Baren exceeded all my expectations. It was cozy, clean, and the staff were so accommodating. I cannot recommend this place enough. We also enjoyed using the sauna facilities and the breakfast was great. We came a little late one day and the server made us more eggs and bacon fresh. Beautiful area as well close to a bus stop.
