Het gezelligste cafeetje van Vlaanderen. Met een mooi interieur en ruim buitenterras als ook een ruime parking. En zeer vriendelijke uitbaters een aanrader!

Leuk, gezellig en sfeervol café. Perfect voor wie graag geniet op een terras! Groot assortiment dranken, zowel blonde als bruine bieren en je kan er een knabbeltje krijgen ook. Kortom, een aanrader!

Voor mij een eerste kennismaking van dit cafe. Vriendelijk onthaal, super ambiance en opvallend veel speciale Belgische biertjes verkrijgbaar. Open tot in de late uurtjes. Iets wat tegenwoordig al uitzonderlijk te noemen is.

Prachtig overdekt terras bijgekomen. Terras zat bomvol maar met respect voor "4 per tafel". Mooie aanwinst voor ons Grembergen.
