    They donate part of your bill to their efforts in building schools around the world. They're on school 16. They've done El Salvador, Guatemala, Uganda, Laos, Bangladesh, and more.

    Big German and Dutch beer selection. The black lager is awesome and Kaleabe the waiter is a super nice guy.

    Great place with a great mission. They have some rules, but it's all with the the intent to create a better conversational atmosphere.

    Great service and French fries. Don't be afraid to try their "moonshine" either.

    This place holds patrons captive to its illogical system. It's a great bar for people who like alcohol (when the server feels like bringing it to you) but hate fun. Decent food though.

    Belgian beer hours run from 3 pm to 5 pm on Saturdays and get you $2 off their 20 quality bottle selection.

    Weird rules. No standing. Ask for mayo NOW not later. No TV (in case you brought one). Also people split checks in 2010... Although its a cool place otherwise, so I would still recommend it

    If you like irrational and unpatriotic rules, then this is the place for you. Can't order your drinks and food at the same. Nothing that special about this place to justify their elitist attitude👎

    Cool place, but don't be surprised if you are approached and told there is a policy against whatever it is that you might happen to be doing at the moment.

    The menu has a lot of rules, like " if you want mayo ASK NOW! Not later." They don't f$%k around! Pretty awesome.

    Low key bar in business for a good cause, to build schools around the word in underdeveloped countries.

    Try the Petrus Sour or Monk's Cafe Sour Ale if you like sour Belgian beers.

    The bartender lost my credit card between the bar and the register, and then proceeded to blame me for it. No apology, no empathy. I won't be going back there again.

    This place is terrible! The food was slightly better than McDonalds and there were a ton of extra charges on the bill. Including a charge for each glass of water.
