A fairly new pub in the center of Tilburg. They have a concept that has been seen in wine bars for…read moresome time whereby there are numerous machines for self serving and one pays by having a card pre-charged with money tapped at the machine. Here the focus is on beer and while I love the concept the execution could be better. There are two lists available of the beers, one in a printed a menu and one above all the taps. These two differ a bit as the printed one does not seem up-to-date but what also was surprising was that the one written above the taps proved to be somewhat incorrect. Then it come to a few of the tapa being empty as well as a few having non-functioning screens (where both what is in it and the price is displayed). So while the concept is nice it is not really greatly executed. The staff where also pretty clueless so no point in asking the about the beers. Still if you are in Tilburg it can be a fun way to try some different beers and as it is possible to just have a sip it is a good way to sample a lot. The space is also nicely designed and comfortable to sit at. The outdoor terrace also has some heating so fine even in fall.

The elegant and expensive decor combined with…read moredesigner clad and perfectly coiffed clientele left me sure I'd be ordering a very expensive glass of wine, nursing it, then beating a hasty retreat ASAP. When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.

The best cocktails in town if you ask me! They have the biggest cocktail menu and they even have…read morebig bowls and buckets they fill with a specific cocktail to share. 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!

On a sunny Sunday my husband and I went for a walk and stumbled upon Belgian Wines. So we thought…read morewhy not? The interieur is low key and is both a wine bar and a wine shop. You can sit and enjoy a glass or buy a bottle to go. We decided to do both and the wines didn't disappoint. There are also meat and cheese plates available - maybe next time! We spoke briefly with one of the owners about the shop. If you eat around Antwerp, a lot of the wines will look familiar. It turns out that Belgian Wines is their supplier. I am a strong believer in eating local, so I really like that Belgian wines are being promoted in the city. Plus they're delicious! The only thing holding me back from a full 5 stars is that there was a full table when we arrived of tourists and once they left, the two waitresses spent a good 5 minutes loudly making jokes and mocking them. I mean, the bar is not so big, so my husband and I were both a bit uncomfortable. If they make fun of them, are they going to make fun of us too when we leave? That won't stop me from returning, but will make me hesitant to stay too long in the shop.

Don't feel like wine? Then try the beer that was brewed specifically for this bar: Spieghelsbier, which is a pleasantly different witbier. And of course De Twee Spieghels wouldn't be a Jazz bar without regular jam sessions and performances. They're definitely worth a visit, but the music sometimes has the tendency to drown out all possibility for conversation. Honestly though, that's only a minor flaw for this otherwise great bar; we're fans!
