OUR WORLD - LE CERCUEIL



As in some parts of our World, Halloween is approaching I thought I should show you a bar in Brussels, located in a little street near the Grand'Place. It's open the whole year and has nothing to do with Halloween.

It must be very old, because when I was 20, the bar existed already and I have been in there several times with a group of friends. It was very funny !



The window shows a skeleton in a coffin





which, to cheer you up wears a rose in its mouth !



This is the entrance to "Le Cercueil" which means "The coffin"





Some nice graffitis on both sides. I couldn't go inside because it was early afternoon and the bar only opens in the evenings.

But I found some pictures to show you how it looks inside



the lamps



tables



and their various famous cocktails with very original names ! You can order :

Vampire blood
cadaver juice
Demon's sperm
Virgin's elixir
bat's hemoglobin etc.



The beer "Mort subite" (sudden death) is served in these chops.

It is the ideal place to cheer you up during the whole year !

  8. I must say it is a relief to be back on-line. Everywhere I look today there are pumpkins, so your post makes a welcome and amusing change. :)

  10. Oooooh.....scary! Some of those drink titles are hilarious (so awful they're funny!). I would enjoy that place once or twice, but can't imagine making it a regular hangout.
