Mareel - Music, Cinema And Education Venue

A little bit dissaponting. Such a beatiful open space, perfect conditions for social distancing. Yet the managment chose to close the whole upper floor and minimise the space avalaible to customers. Not sure where the logic is. Whisky from a plastic cup, because dishwasher was broken, very limited food options (and we weren't looking for anything fancy..)

I have not yet experienced the live music there, but I have been advised by the locals that it is not to be missed - better get on it!
