Het gezelligste café van Eeklo! Met Kurt als zeer gastvrije uitbater! Regelmatig een streepje muziek of comedy. Ook een lekkere spaghetti maakt Kurt in 1, 2, 3, voor je klaar!

Everything you'd expect of an original pub. Good beer, great mood and music and a funny bartender. Love it

Gezellig bruine kroeg waar je nog enkele gerechtjes kan eten. Bediening is aan de bar en heb er zelf niet gegeten (kan hier dus niet over oordelen). Maar de sfeer zit er zeker goed en kom nog eens terug.
