  This place is simply fantastic. The dark wood and candle-light ambience is made even more enchanting when you take a closer look at all of the great memorabilia that covers every inch of wall space and some floor space as well. Some tables have life-size costumed mannekins sitting at them and you have all the Belgian puppet artifacts hanging on the walls. Also hard to miss are the medieval cross-bows and a pike with some stuffed mice perched on it. There are essentially four levels to this place if you count the chairs outside on the street. Inside there are three separate levels. The tables downstairs in the back are Singer sewing stations with the sewing machines still in place.

The selection is highly respectable. There are 71 beers on the menu (14 of them lambic products). They have a wide selection of the more mainstream Belgian beers (Leffe, Chimay, Duvel, etc) balanced out with a lot of the more artisanal ones.

The food is supposed to be excellent, but I didn't eat here so I cannot comment, but it sure looked good from where I was sitting. This really is an indoor or outdoor pub, not both. In the summer, you will find everyone sitting outside, only venturing inside to use the toilets, but in the wintertime, everyone is of course soaking up the excellent atmosphere inside.

For a place so close to the Grand Place and Manneken Pis tourist traps, this place really is a gem. It doesn't really cater for the tourist in my opinion... just for the beer lover.... and that's the way we like it here at Oslopubs !
