Well, here's one ragged hole of a bar. It's not really a hole (I'm just cracking literature); it has three floors actually. But they're all quite small, and not many places to sit. Many people prefer to drink standing here anyway. The place used to be very, very crowded, with all kinds of losers, including drug dealers. But continuous police attacks cropped the dirty bits more or less. There are occasional fights, and the tables aren't always clean. But I like this place, and if you like such places, this is for you. It's not a really dangerous place, just try not to get too drunk, and keeping your passport with you (in a safe place, of course) might be a good idea in case police might come and hold an ID check. After all, it's recommended for adventurers. By the way, the name Calinti means 'Stolen'.
