Le Cercueil — Restaurant in Brussels

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst bar I've ever been to in my entire life. The service (my star to the serving staff, it's a difficult job and they looked like they wanted to die) was apalling. We had to order four times, once because they lost the slip and twice because... I don't know, they forgot? And the price for this privilege? €13 per pint. How do you justify this? Is it blood money to soothe your conscience as you lie in bed at night? It's a steep price certainly for us as consumers to pay, as we sit on peeling leather couches in a dank cellar, watching our own sweat congeal onto a few cheap crucifixes nailed to the walls in an attempt at what I will generously refer to as 'decor', but I suppose it's the nature of a criminal extortion racket that you take more than you give. At least if your pretentions of running the most awful bar in the history of the known universe fail you, you could run a consultancy service for the Mafia or Yakuza, teaching them how to more ruthlessly exploit the people they hold in their clutches.

Sadly, I was one of those people, and I feel nothing but remorse and a burning hole in my wallet because of it. I will go to my grave rueing the day I set foot in this bar. If I warn a single soul away from it by writing this review, it will be a victory. From the dawn of each new day until my last, dying breath, even then, as I lie in the clutches of death, drawing febrile snatches of air into my lungs, I will whisper the words "Beware...

When ordering a beer in the skull glass, waiter didnt warn us about the price of 45 EUROS of the glass, didnt tell us that we had to take the glass back to the bar. Unfortunately I forgot my identity card and as I went the next day, and saw that my card wasnt the Only one that had been forgotten, they told me that I had to pay for a glass that I had not taken home. 45 EUROS I REPEAT… So they do this with every card that was there and refused to check the cameras as we explicitly asked them so they could see the actual person who took their skull glass. The way the owner dealt with it was very aggressive and unprofessional and we could tell that we weren’t the first people they tried this on. I insisted that they check the cameras, and they repeatedly refused. How do we even know they actually lost a glass and they don’t just hide one and make the most of the situation… We have no way of knowing as they didn’t show the cameras....
