De gezellige sfeer snuift ge hier op van als ge uw fiets of auto parkeert op de privé parking achteraan de zaak. Iedereen wordt hier vriendelijk ontvangen en kan binnen of buiten plaats nemen. Er is ook een buiten-bar en een BBQ voor de gezellige avond momenten met live muziek.Men kan hier gewoon iets komen drinken maar ook genieten van enkele aantrekkelijke kleine gerechten. Indien de klanten graag wat meer uitgebreid eten dan is er op het eerste verdiep een aantrekkelijk restaurant-gedeelte met tafeltjes voor 2 of meer personen. Decor en sfeer kennen zijn gelijke niet hier en dan was ik nog niet eens op bezoek tijdens de vrijdag- en zaterdagavonden als er ook gedanst wordt. Dat moet wat zijn !
