Al verschillende keren hier geweest als we in Gent zijn maar de laatste keer dat we hier kwamen was het toch erover de opdienster bracht onze drank er zat een haar in mijn glas en zat gewoon met haar vinger in mijn glas om dat haar weg te doen ik keek naar mijn man en ik zeg ze zit met haar vinger in men glas🙄en zei reageerde nogal onvriendelijk ik zal wel een nieuwe brengen en met tegenzin geeft ze me een nieuw drankje gebracht alè kom zeg om deze reden maar 1ster gegeven we zijn sindsdien niet meer geweest het gedacht alleen al. Voor de reactie van de eigenaar: ja hoor was zeker bij uw zaak.( Pensmarkt 3)Het was een grote blonde jonge dame. Was tijdens de Gentse feesten vorig jaar. Zeer ongepaste reactie van uw personeel
Waiting 30 mins to get a glass of overpriced beer on the terrace. What a place ✨
