The location might be nice but the service is really poor…read more First, we entered and no one said "hello" ... Also, no one asked us how many we were and proposed a table where to sit. Ok, anyway, we found a table in the terrace, started looking at the menu and ... wait ... wait... wait... after 15' a waiter finally came - the terrace was full at this point - to bring 2 coffees, take the order of one table, and then left again. People at our left had been waiting for even longer than us. Seriously, guys? Your terrace is full and we have to wait for 15' before someone comes to take the order of only 1 table. At this point the best thing to do is to leave and find another place to have lunch!

Well. We traveled to the lovely town of Tilburg to catch a concert at this venue. It's a proper…read moreconcert hall and I really liked it. I also appreciated how well-designed it is. The bathrooms are in the right places. There are bars within convenient reach for most of the arena. It's just smart. Acoustics and lights were good, show was really good. So the 013 is mostly GA standing only, but the back of the room does have a series of raised "step" type platforms ... that offer an option for sitting down or at least having a place to sit down if you'd like to alternate sitting and standing. Being in the back of the room, it's also a little more chill than the rail. The venue also has a balcony upstairs but you pretty much need to get up there and hold your spot for the whole show if you're doing that. The venue also has those cool locker systems that we've only encountered in Europe. For my American friends: You scan the QR code posted around the lockers or use the pin pad terminal to rent a locker. Then you get to set a code and the machine tells you which locker will now be yours and then you go off and use your code to lock and unlock the locker for the night. Very slick. I chose to hang in the back on the riser area. It was great because there is a bar right back there and toilets right near the bar. So you never have to go too far for anything. The view is pretty good, especially for us shorties. I don't know why all men in Europe are like 7' tall but they are all giraffes. I also discovered a secret spot that I don't mind sharing since I probably won't be back to this venue any time soon... on each side of the riser area, there's a big beam that comes down vertically along the wall. If you position yourself right in front of that beam, there's a little ledge formed where you can either stand and put your back up against the beam for support or sit and basically have a backrest. Best seat in the house. Staff was really friendly and the crowd was also really friendly. We'd definitely come back.

Okay, this may not be at the top of the Yelp list of pubs, but it was the only one that was open…read morewhen I happened to be in Antwerp and I have to admit that it was pretty cool. Actually, what was annoying was that the outside area was pretty packed which meant that we ended up having to sit inside, which wasn't a bad thing, but the European outside experience is much better than it is in Australia (in many cases they try to be European and fail abyssimally - for some reason I simply don't like sitting on sidewalk seats in Australia). Anyway, this is basically a beer bar, and a pretty cool one at that. When I was there it was pretty quiet (except for the fact that there were no seats outside) but it had a pretty nice atmosphere and a great interior. Personally I probably can't say all that much beyond that, expect that it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it.

What an epic experience to see Fleet Foxes here! This is a…read morehistoric location and venue! This place is known for its exceptional acoustics. The Kings of Leon recorded a live EP here.

Only a very lucky human being gets to see one of her favorite electronic groups while traveling…read moreoverseas. Just think of all the factors that must fall into place - the band's tour dates, availability of tickets, and proximity to the venue. It's pretty much the ultimate trifecta of coincidence. As it turns out, I am that lucky person - someone who was gifted a Hot Chip ticket to a sold-out Saturday night show in Brussels! Because I wanted to live like a local, I took the metro instead of a cab. And then walked. And walked some more. Gosh, Belgian maps are difficult to read. Of course, I found it. Ancienne Belgique is this beautiful, contemporary music venue that feels spacious with its soaring ceilings but in actuality, the capacity makes it quite intimate. In fact, I didn't think I'd have a shot at running into some new friends who were also going to the show but alas, I found them by the first bar I set my thirsty sights on. Luck strikes yet again! The sound quality is superb. If you prefer to drink while watching your favorite band take the stage (yes!), then angle for a space on the floor near one of the doors. That's how the savvy Belgian boys do it anyway, and I was right there to capitalize. If you'd rather take a seat, there's 'romantic' seating in the back and then there's also two levels of terrace. The bars work on a token system so make sure to head there first. And if you have a coat or anything else you'd prefer to dump during the show, head downstairs and grab a locker for €1. So convenient! Hopefully sooner than later, I'll be back.

Cafe Tribunal was a serendipitous find years back and we have made it a point to visit everytime…read morewe've come back. Located steps from the main campus of Maastricht University is caters to a mixed crowd from 20's-70's. We were there twice in one day which says a lot. The seasonal menu is posted on a giant blackboard against the east wall and the beer selection is likewise posted on the south wall. There is also a menu card for their standard offerings. Soups reign supreme here and are offered in giant coffee cup bowls. We had the asparagus soup and were wowed out by the delicate broth and the fresh taste. We also enjoyed the goat cheese salad. I have to admit I do not like goat cheese....I devoured this one. In the evening the place fills up with after work crowd of students and local residents many sharing communal tables. It get quite lively as the night progresses. This a "good time place" and if you aren't having one...it's your own fault. They offer live music most nights and free peanuts with your beer. We always come back.

Which is very understandable. I enjoy the interior as well as the exterior of the shop, very warm and welcoming. There's a bar in the middle and plenty of tables inside and out. They have a wide selection of sandwiches that accommodate both meat lovers and vegetarians. I've tried the brie sandwich as well as the brie and honey sandwich, both were as tasty as they sound. I recommend eating here at a time where it isn't as busy. This is definitely going to be my normal spot for the next couple weeks of studying abroad in Maastricht!

The concert venue Music centre TRIX is located just outside the heart of the city and is only a 15 minutes tram ride away from Antwerpen - Centraal railway station (tram 10 Wijnegem and get off at "Borgerhout Hof ter Lo"). U won't find any top-billed artists on the stage. The TRIX is known for its alternative music profile and with a standing capacity of 1100, it brings u face-to-face with the entertaining live shows starring Amanda Palmer or Emilie Autumn's fantasy rock.

Eigentlich eine schöne Location. Aber das Personal (im Security Bereich) geht gar nicht. Nach dem…read moreKonzert wurden wir direkt nachdem die Band von der Bühne war mit einem Wellenbrecher Gitter nach draußen gedrückt und angeschrien, dass wir raus gehen sollen. Wir konnten noch nicht mal unsere Sachen (Fahnen, Pullover, leere Getränkeflaschen usw.) vernünftig packen oder das Abschlusslied, welches von Platte gespielt wird und (zumindest gefühlt und inoffiziell) fester Bestandteil des Tourprogramms ist, genießen. Jugendliche/Kinder sind hier gar nicht willkommen. Unter 12 Jahren kommt man nur mit Kapselgehörschutz rein. Vernünftige Kinder-ohropax, die bestimmt besser dicht sind als zu große andere Ohrschützer, werden nicht akzeptiert und man muss trotz Ticket draußen bleiben oder wenn man Glück hat noch irgendwo neue (billige, die dann gar nichts taugen) aus dem Baumarkt kaufen. Ist angeblich gesetzlich so, dann haben sich die anderen 30 Clubs in den letzten zwei Jahren wohl nicht an die Gesetze gehalten?! Waren noch viele andere Probleme mit den Türstehern/Security Personal. Sowas schlechtes und unprofessionelles habe ich noch nie erlebt. Schade, so macht man einen ansonsten schönen Club kaputt.

Cool place, different events, all kinds of music, nice concerts…read more Very alike to Sonic Ballroom just bigger, and mixed. It's not very well located, i mean for what people in Cologne are used to, a bit far, "wrong side" of the Rhine, etc. But it's really cool, looks like an old warehouse made to a club. Really underground from the way it's done, somehow a Berlin-style club. If you are into alternative not mainstream stuff full of college kids, this is the place to go.
