Feel free to walk inside the Radisson blu hotel in hasselt, enter the elevator and push the button…read morethat says 18, slowly ascend to the top of the building where a modern sky lounge awaits you. The place is free for all to visit, I guess they hope you're up for some drinks while enjoying the view. I've read reviews noting that the service is slow.. and that the drinks are expensive. But to be honest I experienced the total opposite. Service was fast friendly and the prices are modestly higher than normal.. you can't expect to get a view like this for free.. in most city's there's a queue and ticket booth for observatory decks. I had a chivas on the top, my favorite (8 euro, other whiskeys like jack go cheaper). The night was still young and the view was great. For everyone visiting Hasselt this is a must.. It seems to me like the perfect start of a long night...

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

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!

We were greeted welcoming and were seated right away outside, inside the whole place was packed (not too big and more for intimate dinner/small group, not our group of 9!). We were all pleased with the service and food. Appetizers for the kids was tomato soup and for the grown ups mussels. The bread, butter and oil was also a nice touch. Presentation was pretty, a big plus for me (I prob will not eat a yummy dish if I don't like how it looks lol). My favorite was surprisingly the spaghetti carbonara. (Not pictured). I'm attaching photos of the rest. Anyways, quite pleased with our experience here, therefore I recommend.
