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!

A beautiful space, ruined by spoilt bratty teenagers…read more The Good: The bar is beautiful - huge main room with plush couches and gorgeous wooden beams, and a lovely wooden terrace outside overlooking a Koi pond. The Bad: Even by Waterloo standards (a town of spoilt rich kids), this place is really overly pretentious, with snobby spoilt brats in polos with turned-up collars getting drunk, while their fake-tan, surgically-enhanced mothers and their sugar daddies eat in the restaurant next door. Also, the music is far too loud, but the hysterical screeching of the brats is far worse. I'm unlikely to go back

What a wonderful cocktail bar!…read more The space is intimate with seats ensured for every guest so no one is standing. The staff are experts and the cocktails were wonderful. I would recommend adding this to your travel plans when visiting Ghent.

One of the best bars I've ever been to--wish I could go back!…read more What makes their drinks great is all the ingredients is fresh and drinks made with lots of care. The menu is unique and you have a lot to choose from--don't feel afraid to ask the staff for recommendations. They are very sweet, passionate and knowledgeable. Please try the Hylde-- it's my favorite. Made with elderflower and Jenever (a local equivalent to gin). If you're up for something fun and strange -- they have a fantastic drink made from asparagus juice and horseradish. If you're in the area and I mean anywhere in Belgium -- highly recommend making your way to this place. It's a gem!

Skybar is located on top of Lindner Hotel, close to Antwerpen-centraal train station. The building…read moreis not exactly tall, but it does offer a very nice view of the city. Antwerp is not known for skyscrapers after all. The bar is very spacious and cleanly decorated. Pretty classy in my opinion. I talked a bit with the bartender and told him that I was looking for a boozy cocktail that would match a bulleit rye bottle that I noticed in the bar. He didn't have any in the menu, but suggested his take on a classic: a smoked pumpkin old fashioned. I thought that the smoke was just shenanigans, but in this case it added some peat to the cocktail. I loved it. It was nice to relax a bit with a nice view and a great cocktail in hand. Too bad I could not stay long, as I had dinner scheduled with some friends in another restaurant. I can see myself spending a quality evening there. Oh, well, next time I guess.

I went there for dinner and there is only a set menu with either 3 or 4 courses starting from €44,…read morewhich I find expensive. Especielly when looking at what people was getting for that money (not very much). With the very expensive menue with very little flexibility and seemingly low value for money, I decided to only have a drink and some finger foods. On the wine list they do not have any options if you want wine by the glass only 1 white, red and rose house wine is available, which I find is really limited - especielly when you call yourself a lounge bar. Their finger food is store bought tortilla chips (bad quality) with a "Chef's famous home made salsa" which is a store bought salsa that they've added chopped tomatoes, corn and onions. I also had their large chips with sea salt which were large squares of potato chips that were covered in sea salt, very salty. In addition they were served on a piece of wood that had been chemically treated (toxic!!). I would say - come here if you want coctails and a view - for that it's great!
