Grabbed a burger with some friends last week while visiting Mons. This place is tucked away close…read moreto city center. It has an awesome outside dining space with fire pits in the tables for winter dining. Inside has a pub atmosphere. As for the food, I got The Old Country burger which was okay. I ordered the large but it wasn't much bigger than my friends who got a regular size burger. The fries were more like chips, but the truffle aioli was fantastic. They didn't have a dessert menu which was a disappointment. The service was really slow, but the food came pretty quick. Overall I'd eat there again.

Quite a new bar in Mons and quite a different kind of bar. It's nice to have a bar that isn't…read morereally a cafe. This place specializes in cocktails but, to me anyway, they're not cheap cocktails - 7 to 9 euros - or maybe I'm just cheap. There is just about every kind of drink you may want from mojitos to many different beers to drinks that I've never heard of. I was there on a Thursday and the place got crowded but not overbearing. The crowd seems to be more mature than the local student population (probably due to the prices) and many seemed to have come right from their jobs to have a drink, being in suits and ties. They also have a couple tv screens and as I was leaving they had a Europa League game on. Oh, great music too!

A super popular, high end cocktail bar in the beautiful (hogwarts-like) post hotel. There's usually…read morea line to enjoy these creative concoctions so you may have to wait. The place is pretty small. Tip: they save a couple of tables for hotel guests so be sure to let them know if you are a guest (like us!) We tried a couple delicious cocktails-Birds and the bees, (gin-bases) and Lucky Luke (bourbon-centric). Not cheap but hey, it's just money, you can make more, plus you are on holiday-it's ok to live a little. The 18c science / cobbler shop is a plus too. There's even a real fireplace that was in use on a chilly night in December but this place is the very definition of cozy. Highly recommended

After trying another well known cocktail bar in Brussels, we were recommended The Modern Alchemist…read more We'd known about this spot, but hadn't yet given it a try. Since the wife and I have really been into cocktails lately, trying to learn as much as we can, and trying new things, we decided to check them out on a Friday night. The bartender, Mica was so kind and friendly to my wife and me. We sat at the bar to watch him work, and to admittedly pick his brain when it came to ingredients. The wife tried a classic Mai Tai and I had their Cognac Safe Ticket. You can find descriptions of their house cocktails in the pictures. I absolutely loved the CST, and found it to be so delicious with it's hint of pear. We ordered a cheese plate and two more drinks, a Dill Breaker and An Apple A Day Keeps the COVID Away... Which despite the long name, was easily, without a doubt, the one of the best cocktails my wife and I have ever had! We enjoyed talking to them about their rums, especially their Trinidadian rums. They let us try some vermouths and other ingredients we and been curious about, and the bartender was so open to all our questions and provided some great conversation as well! The vibe of this place is great. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice date spot, or for great cocktails. We can't wait to go back!

The cocktail menu has completely changed, on the one hand you still have the classics but on the other hand the bar tender actually created some new cocktails himself (sometimes served with candy!). They are unique and DELICIOUS! You can also find cocktails for groups that will either be served in gigantic martini glasses or frozen fruit such as a pineapple or a watermelon. The music is good and the place is usually quite full. The only downside from a cocktail bar is that you have to wait longer for your drinks -obviously it takes longer to make then a basic drink. Perfect for enjoying a drink after work on the terrasse, a date or celebrating a birthday!

Service was great, food was good and the drinks were pretty awesome. I'm all about pretty presentation and this place totally delivered. Food menu is limited, pretty much only tapas, burger, chicken skewers and a salmon/scampi dish. You will, however, have plenty of options when it comes to drinks! Beers, wines and beautifully made cocktails (and mocktails). I'd recommend this place for ladies' night or date night.
