    They don't care if you're gonna return or not. Got into an argument with the bartender because he asked me to leave because he didn't know me. It was the first time I was there with him. I'm not a regular, that is fact, but it doesn't help if you have to leave despite the fact I was having a nice conversation with one of the regulars who had asked me to move inside and stay a bit longer when the bar was closing its terrace. I was doing no harm, and didn't understood well why I had to be gone. But I obeyed and told him his boss might disagree because I made it very clear that me having to leave now would decrease the odds of me coming back. Me allowing to continue my conversation would have increased those odds. So from a customer caring perspective he should have let me stay. Now it made me leave feeling unwelcome. And who's gonna return a visit to that feeling?

    (Translated by Google) One of the best and original cafés that you will encounter in Ghent. Not big, not super hip, but authentic and pure. Nice music, even better Belgian beer .... I say, what are you waiting for. If you are there, don't forget to order a delicious emperor carel blond. It doesn't get any better than this! (Original) Een van de beste en originele cafés die je in Gent tegen zal komen. Niet groot, niet super hip, maar wel authentiek en puur. Lekkere muziek, nog lekkerder Belgisch bier.... Ik zeg, waar wacht je op. Als je er toch bent, vergeet dan niet een heerlijke keizer karel blond te bestellen. It doesn't get any better than this!

    Great little place for beer. The bartender was so incredibly knowledgeable about Belgian beer, and ended up getting four great recommendations. Very patient and helpful. Outdoor seating right next to the castle.

    Liked it so much the first night we went back the next. Bartender very friendly and helpful. The second night we played Carcassone, a board game about castles, in front of Castle Gravenstein.

    The service here is impeccable. He speaks three languages flawlessly and is incredibly helpful. The only downside is that he does not take Visa (debit or credit) or Mastercard. But he let me run to the atm after enjoying an incredible beer. Absolutely recommend for a beer!

👍 Well maintained sports bar with so many activities. A bit challenging to locate for a first timer. Great atmosphere but 4 stars because the food was a bit disappointing. Burger could do with some seasoning.
