It has a solid crowd. People seem to be in their late 20s/early 30s…read more In terms of the bar menu, they have a decent scotch and beer menu (which is was great to see). The layout is decent. They have a front and a back bar with ample space to hang out near both. Overall, it's a pretty fun, laid-back atmosphere to grab a drink.

Like it. One of my favourite chilled out places in the Saint Catherine area. Hipstery, studenty,…read morechilly. Great both in the winter and for drinks on the terrasse in summer. They also have board games for sleepy Sunday afternoons when the weather is bad (most times of the year)

A quaint, dare I say snug little Irish pub outside the town centre…read more In true Irish pub-style, and in contrast in other bars in Waterloo, the Snug is somewhere you can always strike up a conversation with strangers. People who go there are naturally friendly, and the confined spaces help too. There's also a decent-sized outdoor terrace where, once again, I keep finding myself chatting with someone new. Otherwise it's rather quaint, but unremarkable. Good pub food, nice traditional decor, and prices in line with Waterloo (ie. slightly more expensive than it should be). The main problem is that it lies far out of the town centre, so if you start your night where the rest of the nightlife is, it's a bit of a trek to get to. The one thing I do lament is that the staff aren't Irish. Don't get me wrong, I love the Belgians, but there's something very comforting about Irish staff in an Irish pub. And since Oscar's - in Waterloo town centre - does have lovely Irish staff, AND makes possibly the best burgers I've ever had in my life, I have little reason to ever go here.

Scored last minute tickets to see Cigarettes after Sex and WOW what a beautiful venue…read more A small intimate venue that opened in 1878 with a capacity of about 3500 spectators. Once served as the only permanent circus in Belgium, as well as nautical shows and even a cinema, it's now mainly used for live music shows. The venue is comprised of 3 levels, Upper concourse, Lower concourse, and Floor. Tickets were sold as general admission with a designated level but never saw anyone enforcing any of the seating. Don't get any funny ideas, haha, I only mention this because it's fascinating how the venue pretty much runs on the honor system, a system that would never work here in America. The floor would be saturated with upper level ticket holders at the Forum or Madison Square Garden, just saying. Another fascinating system is the way you buy beer. They have a token system in place that requires 1 or 2 tokens per beer, depending on the beer which makes for a faster transaction and shorter wait time. Well done. By far one of the most beautiful venues I've ever been to,
