Well. We traveled to the lovely town of Tilburg to catch a concert at this venue. It's a proper…read moreconcert hall and I really liked it. I also appreciated how well-designed it is. The bathrooms are in the right places. There are bars within convenient reach for most of the arena. It's just smart. Acoustics and lights were good, show was really good. So the 013 is mostly GA standing only, but the back of the room does have a series of raised "step" type platforms ... that offer an option for sitting down or at least having a place to sit down if you'd like to alternate sitting and standing. Being in the back of the room, it's also a little more chill than the rail. The venue also has a balcony upstairs but you pretty much need to get up there and hold your spot for the whole show if you're doing that. The venue also has those cool locker systems that we've only encountered in Europe. For my American friends: You scan the QR code posted around the lockers or use the pin pad terminal to rent a locker. Then you get to set a code and the machine tells you which locker will now be yours and then you go off and use your code to lock and unlock the locker for the night. Very slick. I chose to hang in the back on the riser area. It was great because there is a bar right back there and toilets right near the bar. So you never have to go too far for anything. The view is pretty good, especially for us shorties. I don't know why all men in Europe are like 7' tall but they are all giraffes. I also discovered a secret spot that I don't mind sharing since I probably won't be back to this venue any time soon... on each side of the riser area, there's a big beam that comes down vertically along the wall. If you position yourself right in front of that beam, there's a little ledge formed where you can either stand and put your back up against the beam for support or sit and basically have a backrest. Best seat in the house. Staff was really friendly and the crowd was also really friendly. We'd definitely come back.

Okay, this may not be at the top of the Yelp list of pubs, but it was the only one that was open…read morewhen I happened to be in Antwerp and I have to admit that it was pretty cool. Actually, what was annoying was that the outside area was pretty packed which meant that we ended up having to sit inside, which wasn't a bad thing, but the European outside experience is much better than it is in Australia (in many cases they try to be European and fail abyssimally - for some reason I simply don't like sitting on sidewalk seats in Australia). Anyway, this is basically a beer bar, and a pretty cool one at that. When I was there it was pretty quiet (except for the fact that there were no seats outside) but it had a pretty nice atmosphere and a great interior. Personally I probably can't say all that much beyond that, expect that it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it.

While I've only been to Societeit Engels once, and don't know much about the venue, I will say that…read morewe had a magical evening here! On the final night of their Americana season, we saw the world-class David Olney and Sergio Webb perform here. Because the venue is fairly small, you get a very intimate experience, and they let us put some stools right by the side of the stage. The venue is decorated with all kinds of jazz and blues figurines and memorabilia, and it has a very comfortable (gezellig!) atmosphere. The place is sort of U-shaped, which allows them to fit in more people yet maintain the sense of intimacy. Something about the feeling of this venue really helped people loosen up, and everyone seemed to be having a blast. Much more relaxed atmosphere than when I saw David and Sergio at another venue two days later. Staff at the bar, ticket office, etc. was super friendly, and the concert was amazing. One of the best nights I've had in a long time! PS: Didn't take us too long to find parking nearby, but keep in mind that the machine doesn't accept coins and doesn't seem to take foreign cards. We ended up getting a ticket !!

Het Muzieklokaal is a music café in Utrecht that I heard about when it opened just over a year ago…read moreand finally had the chance to visit. Such a cool idea, it's a normal enough cafe but then with a grand piano in the middle. Why? Because they regularly have performances here by musicians and ensembles! I came on Sunday, where their regularly scheduled classical music hour happens from 16.00 to 17.00. My excuse for coming was that an old friend of mine was playing, but I was also curious to see the café. It was very busy but the waitstaff quickly came and took my order at my table. It took a while for my coffee to arrive but it was fine. A little before 16.00 the musicians appeared and started to tune their instruments. When they were ready to play the proprietor whistled to get everyone's attention and introduced the artists. The concert is in principle 2x20 mins with a 20 min pause in between. During the concert everyone stayed silent and listened (or continued to work on their computers) and the staff came around with drink orders for anything except coffee or tea - because the coffee machine makes too much sound to use during the concert! Overall I found the atmosphere really nice. I was really impressed how attentive the audience was, and it's such a nice relaxed and informal atmosphere to experience classical music in. Families came with their small children so they could look at the instruments close up, university students took a break from writing papers to listen to Bach, and there were quite a few people who came specifically for the concert. They have all sorts of concerts and activities so I highly recommend checking out the agenda on their website. But if you love music, coffee, and cocktails, then this is your place!!!!!

It was a 10-15 minute walk to my apartment, but I recommend it even if you have to bike further. They have live music most nights of the week, and even if they don't, it's still a great place to hang out. The drinks and food always hit the spot. When it was slow or empty, I always enjoyed the great company of the two oweners--Elaine and Nizam. And when it was busy, the locals were always fun and charming. Definitely a favorite spot in the evenings, I highly recommend and miss it!
