Middelburg's living room. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 2am. Laid back, indie bar for all ages…read moreduring the week. A bit louder, busier, younger, less indie and more dance and even some Dutch party music on friday and saturday nights. And one of the few places in town where sunday afternoons and sunday nights can actually be pretty good. Seventy-Seven (just call it 'Sev' if you want to blend in) is where Middelburgers learn to drink, fall in love, celebrate the birth of their children, come to to find old friends on christmas eve (even if they left the city decades ago), catch their elderly parents getting drunk and eventually catch their own kids having their first beers. One of the oldest bars in town: people have been drinking here on this spot since at least the 1780s. The original building was destroyed in a fire in the 1890s. The present-day building dates from around that time and survived Word War II. It's current decor is from around 1970 when the original De Koophandel (The Commerce) was renamed Seventy-Seven. Probably one of the ugliest and most worn out of all Middelburg bars, which adds to the charm. Other features: regular drum 'n bass nights, not so regular live music, huge terrace out front from april till october. The selection of beers (about 5 on draught, 10 on bottle) could be better. But the atmosphere is always good and you can get crisps, peanuts (free!) and all sorts of toasties around the clock.

I love that it's a biker bar definitely filled with some characters a few beautiful people a lot of scary people they pretty much all of them were friendly people. When in Belgium, antwerpen is my second home and I love all of the different wonderful places that my friends take me: pomme gritted, the rooden hoot and so many other wonderful and crazy spots, but by far my favorite is the red light district! I just love windowshopping! A word of caution to the guys be careful of the Duval beer and be wary of the window dressings in the red light district as most of them are dudes...

Amazing bar down in a wine cellar with the best beers…read more From the street you would never know how awesome this bar is - nestled under a building you are down in a cellar that has an awesome vibe. The beers here are amazing with over 20+ on tap there is something for everyone - and some must try Trappist beers. I absolutely loved this spot. Only reason for not having 5 stars? The service. Although the place was relatively crowded, it was not very crazy at all especially when we first came in after opening and the staff behind the bar were kind of rude. I asked for a flight and they seemed annoyed they had to make one instead of just pouring 1 beer, and i was reading the menu and didn't have all my numbers ready to fire off - more upset. Additionally, my wife and I sat down at the bar about 1 hour after the place opened and we both had glass all over our chairs and now in our bottoms. The bartender was annoyed when my wife asked him to clean it - he said some glass thing exploded there before opening... so you didn't clean it? And then were annoyed customers had glass in their pants? make that make sense.

Our server may have been the owner, she had an air of authority to her, but the most laid back vibe. She guided us through the massive beer menu, found a perfect fit for our tastes, and we luxuriated in a truly special place. Even if you're not a beer connoisseur, don't miss out on this place. You will love beer more forever after.

You can also ask the waiters to fill a big bowl with a different cocktail. The prices are lower than avarage. The atmosphere inside is very cozy and they usually have good music playing in the background, at night they turn the music a bit louder. Outside they have normal tables and chairs but also lounge couches with heaters. The service could be better though. It's often quite slow!

(Always go for the draft beer, unless it's Heineken or some crap like that). The inside is insane! Theres a massive wooden structure that works as a concert hall, theater and dancefloor...

Do not doubt on coming here to spend a chill day by the river. Bring your laptop, your kids, your friends... It's a place for everyone. One thing though, and that's why it does not have 5 stars on my "expert" review. Food was unavailable by 9 pm.... Come on, it's summer!
