André Ghent

Apero bar

""André" Ghent is a bar dedicated to pre-dinner drinks. If you're up for a glass of fancy alcohol every Friday evening like a respectable adult, come here!"

Who doesn’t like a respectful glass of alcohol? The kind of glass you were so longing for the whole week during work. The kind of glass that says: ‘Hi! Don’t be sad, it’s the weekend! Here, have a glass of fancy alcohol and feel like a respectable adult.’ If that’s you, we should be friends!

It’s hard to find these kind of bars, because it’s actually quite unique to find a bar dedicated solely to serving pre-dinner drinks. It’s a cool concept if you think about it: drinks before eating, because why not get drunk before you start cooking? Sounds like the best plan ever!

If you feel like this should be your Friday night, I suggest you go to ‘André’. When I found out about this place, I found my solace. It’s the kind of bar you enter and think: ‘yes, this is where I live now. Serve me some cocktails while I think about life and stare out the window’.

They serve some pretty special drinks, so there is something for every kind of human. Whether you like sweet, sour, bitter... I guarantee you will find just the thing you need. The staff is very friendly and the interior is to die for! When entering the bar it looks a little empty, but when you walk further you will see what I meant with ‘respectful glass of alcohol’. It looks classy and it’s the kind of place you will want to go to every Friday night.
