Located in the old part of the city, Bar Cafe Des Art's has a rich history behind it. Before ending up in its current location, customers had to endure two changes of premises.

They frequently play live music, and the piano is very prominent in the basement.

And the excellent drinks and food menu mean that a visit here is a must.
