This is a cosy bar, more touristic now but still worth seeing. Be warned it is mainly a beer bar. I love it becasue you can play games, read, lounge, its like a bar meets your own living room. They have many board games and a large variety of Belgian beers.

Arts & Culture
Museum station
Because it is around the corner and a must see sight.
A very small spot, worth it if you are into culture, politics, and Lumumba. If you do not know Lumumba this spot will probably hold no real meaning for you. If you know him, then this spot will bring a moment of emotional appreciation.

Essentials
Cute organic shop, sometimes a bit over priced but it is nice and around the corner. Has a lot of nice things and seems to be following the seasonal food production. Come early sometimes at night it can feel scare with produce.
