Huis Verbaandert is a multifunctional space housed in a beautiful historic building where you can buy magazines, tea and cigars and enjoy them in a special lounge on the top floor. Officially you have to be a member of the Anilla Havana Lounge in order to sit on one of its comfortable leather chairs, but you can easily bypass this rule by asking for a free day pass. Owner Stefan will gladly help you choose a simple Mercator or an exclusive and expensive Cuban Cohiba Behike for a mere €38 each. Even in the early hours, this place is usually full of bon vivants sipping one of many whiskies or sherries and you can also order the local Tilburg drink – warm Schrobbeler with cream – in this stylish place.
