I'd say this is definitely a place for expats to feel more at "home" very meaty menu and the beer is alright. I tried two IPAs of their own brand, didn't impress me much. It's a alright experience I'd say overall but not for me.

Pretty cool place, I like the beer genie, has good local attendance as well as small amount of foreigners. Crush sale pretty easy to drink and no hangover. The Belgo session ale can be bought here by the bottle which is great if you don’t feel like dressing up like a Belgian. Groovy neighbourhood, one of the most liveable districts.

Love this gastropub! Great tasting food, loved all the dishes tried. Quality prepared ingredients well presented. Lots of good variety of dishes made to share while enjoying drinks with friends. Fun vibrant atmosphere, but music is not too loud, so conversations are easy. Impressive selection of craft beers from popular and upcoming breweries.

I sat upstairs where there was “air conditioning” but it was still quite hot since the door to the balcony is open. There are a couple large fans which helped. The vibe is nice, the first floor seems very quiet and laid back. Upstairs was much more lively especially on the balcony. The staff was very nice, just the service is a bit slow when it comes to extra requests and questions about the menu. Ordered the buffalo wings, mango habanero wings, and BBQ pork ribs plate. The wings were very under dressed. It looked so dry and maybe 30% of the wing had sauce on it. I requested for more sauce which took a long time for it to come out and so the wings cooled down. With the extra sauce: The buffalo was OK 7/10 & mango habanero does have a kick to it but it’s more like a paste than a sauce 6.5/10. You don’t taste any mango at all, it’s just spice. The bbq ribs were so sad. It was dry, under seasoned, not very well sauced or spiced 3/10 and would not order again. For two dishes (1kg wings and 1 bbq rib plate) the total came out to a little under 700K and I’m not sure if the taste and quality is worth the price.

I gotta come back and revise my review. For some reasons, who knows what they are... we got food poisoning 2 times in a row after eating and drinking here. The food menu has been changed, more expensive but not as good. The Dan Dan noodle tasted weird with tons of old oil which tasted sour. To be honest, we really liked the place.... but I am not sure if we should come back. Beer tasted fine but still... something made us feel a bit sick... last time it was the bloody marry oyster... No new photos, just wanted to leave here some comment so the owner should really do something about it... Service is a bit slow.
