Vaste waarde in Diest, nog een mooie authentieke bruine kroeg. Zeer amabel personeel. Fijne plank kaas bij het bier, gebeurt elders nog zelden!

Gezellig kleine bruine kroeg op de markt. Met zalige kussentjes in de zetels op het terras, vriendelijke bediening, om het kwartier een beiaard deuntje van de kerk nabij. Verschillende lokale bieren van het vat.
