My Sort Of Place

[sunny-dave]

A cafe-bar in Brussels has three menus :

Food Menu : A choice of three or four standard dishes (onion soup, croque monsieur ... ) - not very exciting but the soup is however excellent

Wine List : A desultory listing of some boring wine at prices that would make even a UK publican wince

but those can both be excused by ....

Beer Menu : Ten draught and over 200 bottled beers - all served at optimum temperature and in their own unique glass.

I'm currently risking "Delirium Tremens Red" on draught - a modest 8.5% - in a glass nicely decorated with flying pink elephants.

Bottoms Up

[ummmm]

Nice one.

Are you having a good time?

[friedgreentomato]

I go to Brugge several times a year and we alway frequent the same cellar bar, basic menu passable but the beers at over 300 is outstanding!

But are the elephants really there, Dave? Enjoy! x

[AlwaysConfused]

And if you spend all evening drinking your way through the beer menu, you'll being seeing flying pink elephants!

Santé or Op uw gezondheid, Dave

8.5%? needs a dash of scotch in it

I think my avatar has been nobbled :)

Time to go and listen to some outdoor music in Grand Place and then find an indoor venue with a blues band I think.

Awww Dave...You've got poor little Nellie with you and she's p*ssed.. :-( x

[AlwaysConfused]

Love the new avatar!

I hope you enjoy your time over there Dave...mind the alien abductions that happen after beer. They steal your money and your memory and probe you before knocking you out...take care xx

[sunny-dave]

Blues band in a nice bar, cool jazz and a big sausage in the Grand Place, then a Siouxsie soundalike thrashing along in a noisy cellar - an excellent evening so far :-)

[DaisyNonna]

If yo need something non-alchoholic, try the limon presse

[gness]

I forgot to ask Dave if he was going to visit any Chocolate shops...wonder if he will and think of me.....nothing with nuts though.....;-) x

[sunny-dave]

Suppose I better get up - the bars are open ...

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, York and its fine array of ale houses beckons me. Have a good one.
