This is an old place and it looks like it. A lot of pekets have been taken down here over the years I am sure. It is not really hard alcohol but not light either. I don't know how to explain it but it comes in all different flavors and you can even light it on fire. Sort of like a liqueur. It is a fun and different drink. The atmosphere gets lively too as people begin to get wasted on peket. The best thing to do is to check out the place. Fun experience.

Maison du Peket is a must-see when visiting Liege, or Belgium in general. It really is an unique…read moreand stunning place. The actual building is breathtaking, in its appearance it feels Medieval with exposed stone walls, iron gates and other rustic features. As a drinking establishment it is pretty eclectic and quirky, but the reason for visiting is to experience drinking Peket, the local liquor of the region. Maison du Peket has a large selection of flavours - fruit, chocolate etc - and there are also 'flambees' choices for a more full-on experience. I am instantly addicted to the chocolate peket flavour, which is worrying drinkable, considering the high alcohol content! The later in the evening the more packed it gets - during term-time extremely so! - so go in the early evening for a more relaxed feel.
