Together with Gecko this cosy place is definitely one of my favorite bars in Brussels.
In wintertime or during rainy days you can admire the wooden interior and mirrored walls. Music is always good, and the volume is often limited so you still can have a decent conversation with your friends.
In summertime, if the weather permits, you also can sit outside at the lovely terrace. Since it's located in a pedestrian area you're not attacked by exhaust fumes, making it an ideal spot to relax, read a book or to do some people-watching while you are sipping your cocktail.
Coke lovers, be warned, you won't find any Coca or Pepsi in here. Other softdrinks are present, a wide range of beers as well. Cherry beer lovers, surprise yourself and ask the waiter if they have the special acid one.
