As I walked past this place I made a mental note to come back to it a little later after we had…read moremanaged to get something to eat. Well, when I checked up on Yelp I suddenly discovered that it was hovering near the top of the best bars in Lille, so I guess I must have this habit of being able to sniff out the really good bars (or I'm just lucky - I'll go with the luck factor). Anyway, it happens to be another hard rock cafe, or more specifically beer bar. There are only a couple of tables out the front, but then again the view out the front isn't all that fantastic (it is of a supermarket, so the only people who land up out there happen to be the smokers). Anyway, the inside is pretty cool, quite atmospheric actually, and they also play some pretty decent tunes. I wouldn't suggest that it is hugely crowded but since I was there on a Sunday that was probably the reason. Still, if you like your hard rock then this is a pretty decent place to go.

Basically it is a bar, so no food here, but a decent selection of beers on tap, including some Belgium beers (but since Lille is just over the border I'm not surprised that there are Belgium beers here). Oh, and the bartender was pretty awesome as well, and she even remembered my order when I returned a little later. I probably should also mentioned that they were playing some pretty awesome classic rock tunes as well. Definitely worth a visit, and a couple of beers as well.

A lot of different posters on the wall and portraits of Russian leaders. Now the decor is settled, they have a choice of more than 100 vodkas with different tastes (sweet, spicy, herbal, etc.) that will suit everyone. You can take 10 shots for 27€, I think that's a great way to discover different flavors. My favorite is definitely the herbal and honey: strong taste and sweet at the end in the throat, magical!

They let people go into the club without telling that there was no place available at the cloakroom so you had to keep your coat all night around you while dancing. I don't say this mustn't happen but they overall should let people know before paying 15€ to go in. And when I asked for explanations at the cloakroom, a girl tried to explain to me that she needs to wait a row to be empty before taking other coats when an another girl came and asked her stop to explain and said it's like that period! What a shame. You can't speak to the customers like this. Guys, you need to improve this. Quickly!
