Best Bar in belgium

M	Maisha Riechmann on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The owner rips you off on purpose. On first sight it looks like a hidden gem, but owner takes full advantage of the fact that you are a tourist, puts large bottles of beer in front of you without showing the menu and then charged 16 euro for a seasonal beer. Even the neighbor came to us with crips and apologized on behalf. But you can tell he is uncomfortable with it because he doesn't looks you in the eye when we paid. He just pushes his luck and apparently it works fantastically, because the place was packed. The place is also very filthy and he looks very, unhygienic with yellow toe nails. Please don't go there, it's a dishonest place.
Q	Qern Ouille on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At first, we found the place nice, peculiar but/and so nice. We wanted to get a beer, and the owner offered 2 big bottles without bringing the drinks menu. We were confident. Apparently two much. Beers were good ones but without anything special. Except may be the price: 16€/bottle. We are quite sure the price was not the good one, just a price given to tourists who do not ask for the menu before ordering... Not a place with and for honnest people.
P	Pete Gautier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is very likely the best beer bar in the world. A truly unique experience. I promise you have never seen anything to compare it to. Reviewers complaining about price, cleanliness, service, or anything else simply don't deserve the experience.
D	Daniela Mora Rojas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place looked like a great spot for a drink. Owner also seemed friendly... Unfortunately he deliberately overcharged us for the beer: 6 euros for a beer that in Brussels costs no more than 4. When we confronted him with it, he just quirky smiled and said nothing. Shame to say but this place is either for owner's local friends only, or a scam for everyone.
S	Sam Taggart on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most memorable experiences of Ghent, for sure. The place, the owner, & the cat were quirky and full of character. Plus, delicious beer. But 1. the inside was trashed and did not smell good – so we sat outside since it was a nice day – and 2. 18€ for a 75cl beer is way too high, no matter how delicious or nice of a beer. It was worth it for the story and would recommend stopping by, just know what you're getting yourself in to – he's basically taking advantage of tourists & travelers. Maybe ask him the price of the beer before he opens it and try to talk him down.
G	Gökay Atabek on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stayed till closing time and argued with a seemingly random person about if Frank Zappa or Jim Morrison is sexier. We paid the guy 36€ for two 75cl bottles which is quite steep, but then he bought us beers in a different bar with the money I just handed him. Weird night.
F	Franklin Miranda on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After reading the reviews we chose to check this place out. We showed up in the alley and there were some folks sitting outside socializing. there were no English words with a name, when the gentleman asked us if we were looking for a drink. We said sure so he offered us a seat and brought us out a bottle each, set up a candle and we joined in. The beers were Fantastic. As an aficionado of Belgium brews we enjoyed the place. It turned into a romantic beautiful night. Prices are 10-15€ per bottle. Well worth every cent. I ended up owing the gentlemen 2€, and he kindly said to pay him next time I went by. We had to leave for Paris the next day and we weren't close. But I will be back to pay him since I definitely recommend and plan to return to this peculiar place. His collection of old bikes although messy inside were a delight to see.
A	Artem Shcherban on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unique place! Loved the interiors, all the bikes & stuff. It's very nice to have some beer, have a little chat with owner and pet an amazing Toulouse (Bengal cat)
