19:00 Not too busy, got a seat with ease, which is not always the case. The shoe basket was in use with the attached bell ringing out every time a shoe was added or removed. Quick chat with the waiter revealed that the young Belgian beer drinker has a preference for sweeter beers. The effect of a diet full of sugar presumably.

The pub is found in Ghent, Belgium, 9000.

Atmospheric old bar in the centre of Ghent. The pub is famed for its enormous Kwak glasses, similar to a half yard of ale, that can only be used if the drinker surrenders a shoe to prevent them running off with the glass. The shoes are suspended in a wire basket on a string and pulley system. At the entrance a wooden frame with a series of doors shows how many glasses are in use. The stairs up to the first floor toilets are precipitous. The pub can get very busy.

We have visited this pub once, seen 2 different beers and tried both.
