Freudenhaus translates to ‘house of pleasure’ – which obviously has connotations in other areas, but here the titillation is all in the liquid. Bottles festoon the place, like a model train set of a millionaire child’s bedroom. The 387 bottles of whisky, 266 of rum, 187 of gin and just one of vodka give a little insight into the proprietor’s sense of the spirits hierarchy. Beer is also available in a place that feels somewhere between a church and a bar. That is to say, a holy combination.
