(Visited Sep 2025) Nice, modern beer bar a couple of blocks north of the central station (not really in the city center). Modern, fairly basic, interior in black and light wood. The bar takes up more or less one wall. 12 taps, good mix of local, Belgian and international craft beers. Great selection of bottles and cans as well. Swift and friendly service. Great place, well worth a slight detour.
