A la Mort Subite

This Brussels institution hasn't changed much since 1928. I love coming here for their kriek (cherry) beer on tap.

Mort Subite or "sudden death", is the name of the bar, as well as the Geuze beers served here. The name Mort Subite originated from a craps game popular with employees of the National Bank of Belgium who used to while away their time at this establishment some 80 years ago. If they did that today, they'd get the sack.
