This is about a restored restaurant in Dornbirn.

Thanks Paul! This is true - that's why I'd like to see the previous sentence - might explain what the Hemmschwelle is!

: They possibly mean the average Joe or respectable people can be uninhibited at that restaurant. With uninhibited behaviour I guess they mean being loud, drinking etc. in excess without being warned and so on. No taboos like in 5 star restaurants! :)
