👍👍 Came in by chance on a damp, February Sunday afternoon, nursed a beer at the bar and enjoyed the wonderful cast of characters who came and went. I’m glad there are still places like this in the world. Authentic. People often mention beers, great, beer, Nice,

    You have to get your beers at the very friendly owner behind the bar (they don't do table service). You can only pay cash but if you forget (like we did) it's not a problem, you can just enjoy your beer and go to the ATM around the corner when you're finished. We got some fresh cheese from the market here as well which was great. Would definitely recommend.

    Sehr nette kleine und rustikale Bar mit einer guten Auswahl an Bier. Für Brüsseler Verhältnisse und diese Lage sehr moderate Preise. Es gibt die Möglichkeit draußen zu sitzen. Service ist sehr nett und das Publikum bunt durchmischt.

    Few (5 when we were here) but really good different beers on tap. Moderately priced, good service and 100% recommended.

    Glad I stumbled across the great little cafe/bar only a couple blocks off the Grand Place. Doesn’t seem to be pandering to us tourists. Good range of beers and teas. Great atmosphere outside and in (the bathrooms are super cool - lots of graffiti but very clean).

    Loved this bar, staff were really friendly and looked after us with a meat & cheese board which was delicious. Gorgeous beers, lovely location and a really enjoyable experience with the staff and other patrons

    A cute bit rough around the edges café at the heart of the city center. Quickly during our visit we baptised this café to our 'stamkroeg'. The Cafe was full every night and the atmosphere was very welcoming. When you visit please try their own beer called 'au soleil'!

    Gutes Bier ich kann empfehlen und auch mit Käse ( klingt komisch aber schmeckt gut mit Moine de Brüssel)

  • 5/5 Matt B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great bar. Very generous with the drinks and lovely sun terrace. Friendly staff.

  • 5/5 mark s. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been a favourite of mine for many years and I've just been back for the first time in four years, mainly due to Covid. Didn't take me long to reaffirm that it's still the friendliest, best and most welcoming in Brussels

  • 5/5 Mark L. 2 years ago on Google
    A little hipster during the day, and at night very relaxed. Craft beers, all local Belgian. Included some gluten free blond beers. Nice!!!

  • 5/5 Yoni B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drink in the sun (when there is sun)

  • 5/5 Sebastian B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best bars in Brussels, run by wonderful people and reasonably priced.

  • 1/5 Michael N. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely rude. We asked the guy if they take card, he says yes. Then after ordering he tells us only cash, takes away our beers as we had only card, and starts actually yelling "allez! Allez! Allez!" for us to leave. Even if there was miscommunication in the beginning, you handle it discreetly. You don't yell at your customers to the whole bar, that's incredibly rude and unprofessional.

  • 5/5 Omar G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a couple of beers. Prices are okay.

  • 5/5 Lars 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for a beer on the terrace. Close to the main square, but a lot quieter.

    Hey. We visited you recently. All perfect. Question - what is the sort of cheese that you serve?
