Cafe Bar

👍 Hip, chic bar with a beer garden. The staff are very friendly. The problem is that you can only view the card online, via QR code, and only pay via this page. This is not possible with a foreign credit card or PayPal. Then you have to send the order by SMS. People often mention staff, terrace, cafe, nice, good, cozy, beers, cocktails, Great, atmosphere,

Das Problem ist, dass man nur Online, per QR Code, die Karte einsehen kann und auch nur über diese Seite bezahlen kann. Mit einer ausländischen Kreditkarte oder Paypal ist dies nicht möglich. Dann muss man die Bestellung per SMS abschicken.

    I've always thought the exterior of his cafe looked really cool, and I'm glad I finally went and got a drink there. Not a lot of beers on the menu, but the offer of different cocktails, and especially gin, makes up for it. The interior looks very vintage and cozy at the same time. Great music too!

    (Translated by Google) Always nice to land in the Sint Lucas region. Cheerful murmur, friendly service but can be more multicultural. No brown Westmalle. (Original) Altijd leuk om neer te strijken regio Sint Lucas. Vrolijk geroezemoes, vriendelijke bediening maar kan meer multicultureel. Geen bruine Westmalle.

    (Translated by Google) Super cozy cafe. Especially the back garden is nice to sit in. Minus is limited beer list (Original) Super gezellig café. Vooral de achtertuin is leuk zitten.minpuntje is beperkte bierkaart

    Very cozy bar, but only 3/5 because of the staff.

  • 4/5 Evelyne M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cosy little pub. Has a terrace. Also has a roof that partially covers the terrace, so you can still sit outside when it's raining. Close to city centre and you get there by tram, as the tram stop is right next to the pub

    Cute terrace , super friendly staff , super helpful, best service I had in years ..

  • 3/5 Merel Van E. 4 years ago on Google
    There's a lot of place, there are cocktails, music in the background is nice. You don't have to pay cash. The staff could definitly be more hostable towards customers, there's room to grow there. And the terras isn't fully located in the sun.

    Quite near to the city center. Vintage-boho style bar, you can order coffee, tea and a lots of varieties of beers. The attention is kind but not ordered in the table. Cannot pay by credit card

  • 4/5 Jan D. 6 years ago on Google
    Great down-to-earth café/pub with a nice drinks menu for reasonable prices. Filled with a good mixture of locals and regular pub-goers up for a relaxed drink.

  • 5/5 nathalie van k. 6 years ago on Google
    You can sit outside at the front and there is a garden in the back :). Perfect bar/ café (with great vegetarian lasagne)!

  • 4/5 Arno D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar, cozy, cheap. Negative points don't have many beers and frequently sold out on what they do have

  • 5/5 Hans 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite local bars, nice personnel, good options (nice cocktails) and good atmosphere. There's a big terrace in the back as well as a small one in front.

    i ordered an old fashioned on a tuesday night and gorgeous mannequin heads stared in approval from every direction. i felt like i was at home, or at least at a close friend’s place overstaying on their couch and avoiding doing my own dishes. this very bar was the location of one of the funniest moments of my visit to ghent, in which a work colleague to whom i pointed out a picture of barbarella was shocked to learn that “the environmental activist” jane fonda “used to be” an actress. not to change the subject, but there is also a picture of rambo. fantastic atmosphere and style. where’s the wallpaper from? wish i had asked. the only thing that would have made it better is if there was karaoke happening. alas, i can dream. five stars!

  • 1/5 Olmo F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Terribly unfriendly, arrogant and brutal staff, overcharge and are angry when reported. Plus, last round at 00:20 without this being communicated in any way. For questions about this: "That has been the case for 5 months now, you should know!" We and our friends don't come here anymore. (Original) Verschrikkelijk onvriendelijk, arrogant en bruut personeel, rekenen te veel aan en zijn kwaad als dit gemeld wordt. Plus, laatste ronde om 00:20h zonder dat dit op eender welke manier gecommuniceerd wordt. Bij vragen hierover: "dat is nu al 5 maand zo, ge moet da weten!" Hier komen wij en onze vrienden niet meer.

    (Translated by Google) In itself a cool bar, but like in many bars in Belgium, you should order via app or SMS. In itself a great idea in times of Corona. But I think they're exaggerating in the bars. The problem is that payment by app is only possible with Belgian credit institutions, not even PayPal and not with other banks. SMS only worked once here. I haven't had anything to drink for over 30 minutes. Assortment is more limited to drinks, 1 snack is on the menu, but over 20 beers. Almost only young people come here. I give 2 stars because I don't like the fact that you are forced to own a cell phone and use it here, then the order didn't work properly. I go to a bar to have a chat with a waiter. I find that impersonal here. There was also no hot water in the toilets and the tap was broken. (Original) An sich eine coole Bar, aber wie in vielen Bars in Belgien, soll man per App oder per SMS bestellen. An sich in Zeiten von Corona eine tolle Idee. Aber ich finde die übertreiben in den Bars. Problem ist die Bezahlung per App geht nur mit belgischen Kreditinstituten, nicht mal Pay Pal und nicht mit anderen Banken. SMS hat hier nur 1 mal funktioniert. Über 30 Minuten hat ich nichts zu trinken. Sortiment ist eher auf Getränke beschränkt, 1 Snack steht auf der Karte, hingegen über 20 Biere. Fast nur junge Leute kehren hier ein. Ich gebe 2 Sterne weil ich es nicht gut finde, dass man gezwungen wird ein Handy zu besitzen und hier auch zu benutzen, dann funktionierte die Bestellung nicht richtig. Ich geh in eine Bar um auch mal ein Plausch mit einem Kelner zu führen. Das finde ich unpersönlich hier. Auf den Toiletten gab es auch kein Warmwasser und der Wasserhahn war kaputt.
