| heavy (10), Split, Croatia | | October 29, 2007 [ Updated September 13, 2008 ] In the inner center of the city this pub is guaranteed to be well visited by everyone not just beer freaks. Ambience is great for me, a bit dark but those candles at the table help to see everything you might want to. Wall waterfall in the length of some 30m is surely not seen often, while sitting on various places, on thick glass over the water, wooden floor, at the bar or at the barrels in front of pub really give you space. Atmosphere is complemented with big reproductions of Breughel, Rubens and other things. Service was actually great, knowing pretty much, despite minor oversights. The most important thing, the selection is definitely the best in Croatia and nearby countries. Only Belgian beers, somewhat of everything, and still they’re trying to get new beers every then and little. Prices are very good, but those are all belgian, so... Food is not applicable, only pretzel, which, however can also help. Really a great pub, but you should count to spend a lot when you once enter :) | | Rastacouere (475), Montréal, Quebec | | August 1, 2007 Very odd location in the basement of a mall. Dark place with really odd decoration, obviously a fair amount of money went in there and the results are apparently there as the crowd followed. Solid selection of belgian ales with a little of everything and the locals sure appreciate that. | | ogivlado (145), Zagreb, Croatia | | June 15, 2007 Just 5 minutes walk from main railway station and located in the basement (-1) floor of the Branimir Centar have a great range of the Belgian beers. The prices are OK and the atmosphere is quite cosy. Besides pretzels there is no food, but next door is Italian restaurant with many kinds of pizzas and pastas that can be ordered and delivered to Hopdevil. | | Doggythedog (27), Split, Croatia | | December 29, 2006 Located in the first "basement" floor of the Branimir Centar complex... easy to reach. Almost always crowded, this has become one of the "places to be", which is great for them, but not all that brilliant for the average beer enthusiast. It’s closed quite often for private parties and such "events". Still, one can easily find a place before 7PM I guess. The architecture is quite... odd and erratic, but ok I guess. The service tends to be very polite and relatively knowledgeable (more so than the average patron), and they try to do their best I guess. The selection is extremely good, and consists entirely out of Belgian beers. Some classics, some crappy ones, but the selection can satisfy everyone... and even despite that, a lot of people go there and order coffee (which I don’t mind much, but some do). The only food available is some pretzels, which I never tried. It’s a nice place, expensive in some ways, but it will definitely draw a lot of people to the world of craft beer. |
