Favourite bar in Lille.
Ground level is a long bar with tables, the basement is large and suitable for bigger groups and there's an area upstairs for functions.
Loads of great beers of a variety of styles, mostly local, at standard local prices. Staff speak English (thanks) and are very helpful. The food available is a variety of snack sausages, tapenade, cheese and crisps. Very reasonably priced and suitable for sharing.
It can get busy, but this changes frequently and it's not always rammed. Great atmosphere. They showed a Lens game one of the times we visited, but TV wasn't on any other time.
Perhaps not a place to visit alone for a quiet drink, as it's mostly busy.
