I discovered Le Pacific in Brussels when I noticed plenty of people chatting and drinking where once there used to be a local bar that had been closed for years.
I was curious, so I immediately checked the place out, finding a small and friendly bar, a nicely decorated interior and a darts board.
That time I didn't stop, but I went back afterwards to confirm my first feelings.
I was right; I liked the place and their cocktails! There's a short cocktail list with the usual trendy ones. But what makes this place special for me is the "Creations": ask the barman to create something for you. Isn't this nice? At least you won't drink the usual Gin Tonic or Mojito!
For beer lovers, they have an extensive beer list and showcase new beers all the time. And let's not forget the lemonades -- always a discovery.
And as we are in the nice weather season, now there's also a nice terrace: where else to go for a nice afternoon drink?
