May 28, 2026"This place is awesome! Great pub made in medieval style and heavily focused on the Lord of the Rings iconography. The setting beautiful, they have an outdoor garden too, it takes you right back to Middle Earth! Food was good, service was great & very friendly, and the IPA beers were even better! I went every night I was in Villa Gesell!"
