Bar Espresso bar Guitar store

😠 They have good stuff, but i felt a bit uncomfortable there and felt like the people there were not so nice. The staff looked a bit uninterested and answers felt a bit direct, rude and condescending. Maybe I am wrong, but it's my anecdotal and honest opinion. People often mention coffee, store, good, shop,

    I'd give it half a star if it could. Super uninterested and unfriendly people here. I would 100% recommend bax shop and you can still drink your coffee somewhere else.

    To be fair and to explain the 2 stars only: the place looks awesome and the concept is very nice. But I came twice to buy small stuf (strings, capo, etc) and I had the feeling that I was disturbing... so I may have come unluckily at a bad time twice...

    SIR YOUR ANSWER "Antwort vom Inhaber vor 54 Minuten What a pity we couldn’t violate the european tax rules for you." IS ABSOLUTELY NONSENS, WE DO NOT VIOLATE EU VAT IT IS A NON E VAT COUNTRY. 2ND YOUR MISTAKE ON THE SHOP, THEN YOU SHOULD STAND UP FOR EXTRA COSTS, IF YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND SENT MONEY BACK. IN THIS CASE 10 EUROS WHICH I HAD TO PAY WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE ORDERND CORRECTLY ON YOU WEBSHOP BILL SWITZERLAND DELIVERY MY P.O. BOX. IN GERMANY. THEN PAID. YOU ALWAYS CAN BLAME OTHERS BUT THIS IS WAS YOUR MISTAKE UNPROFESSIONAL ! SO PAY BACK 15 EUROS AND WE DELETE THIS POST. CC VAT STRASSBURG I ordered a Elliot Capo to Germany with Swiss home address so no EU VAT on bill. paid and then no we are not allowed to send. We agreed when Im back in Switzerland we'll disuses the issue. Bad I paid 248 EUR got 238 CHF Back without asking, if I do a mistake I pay the double Exchange rate. Nothing. Rude rude rude! I asked Dries hey pay the missing no reaction! 10 EUR for nothing lost. CC to Elliot USA. We ordered other stuff from EU and shipped it to Germany Austria France without VAT because we are Swiss with Swiss Address i.e. to govern Bill address.

    Nice collection of pedals. Bought two power distributors from here. Very helpful staff. I stopped by recently and they had a private function going on but still accommodated me. Also the coffee is good

    First time I went to The Guitar Bar, looking for some strings for my new acoustic guitar and got a very friendly and helpful reception! Plenty of useful information for a beginning player! Beautiful selection of guitars as well! Will definitely come here again for my guitar needs! And maybe have a coffee next time as well! 😁

    Very nice and comfy Shop. Well selected choice of brilliant pedals, good instruments and amps. Not necessarily the big brands but the interesting and good quality ones. The coffee ist awesome. Thanks for the grounding chat!

  • 5/5 Gianluca G. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic shop, real professionals who kindly reply to emails in a very short time (it felt more like a chat !!). In addition, the pedal arrived in Italy at home after only 48 hours !! Amazing. Thenx Guitar Bar

    Everything people said on the reviews with one star is true. The guy in the store has anger issue and he somehow thinks that it’s ok to be extremely agressive from the minute you enter the store.

    Owner is super kind. Place is full of good gear and ambient feels like home

  • 5/5 Gustav W. 10 months ago on Google
    Very cozy place with a nice owner. Coffee was nothing out of the ordinary, but not really something you expect from a guitar store. The owner had a great variety in guitars, basses and other instruments and accessories. Really recommend if you want to just take a coffee and look at some instruments.

    Today my friend brought me Elliott Capo, which she bought from you. On the website it was written " Slightly used". But the 225 Euro capo is just broken. The thread is worn out. The capo simply cannot clamp the strings, it scrolls. Slightly used? Check the photo

    I had been eyeballing an instrument for a few days, every time I walked past the store. I finally went in when they were open, but I unded up walking out after being treated so rudely. Cool vibe to the store, too bad the help ruined it for me.

    These guys are amazing. They contacted me for a rare guitar I had asked for 2 years ago and though I hadn't made a pre-payment, they even managed to sell it for the old, lower price! Many thanks for your service and dedication!

    Excellent guitar & gear store with a laid back atmosphere. Professional and flexible service by the owners Dries and Walter . No problem at all if you want to try all the pedals in the store for a couple of hours and only buy two. Musicians and gear nerds suffering from the Gear Acquisition Syndrome… Visit The Guitar Bar anyway!

👍👍 Vast selection of beers and a good selection of yummy food. We were staying nearby for a few days and came back twice. We barely scratched the surface of the huge encyclopedia that is their beer menu. It's the place to beer!

👍 Overal very enjoyable, especially for tourists. Good portions. The sauce, beef stew and dressings were extraordinary though the fries a bit 'weak' (not as crispy as their colour would make you think). Kind yet professional service. Lost a star for the fries, but we'll see how my next visit turns o...

The live jazz music was really amazing but too short - like 30 minutes from when we sat- which I wis...

👍 Relativ voll, viele Raucher und es ist schwierig die Aufmerksamkeit des Service zu bekommen. Ansonsten ok, man kriegt viel zu sehen, da man viele Leute drumherum zum/vom Bahnhof laufen sieht.
