The Antwerp Zoo announced today it will be opening an outdoor bar for 62 days, starting 1 July and ending 31 August, complete with food, drinks and live music.
Guests will have a picturesque view of the pink flamingos while enjoying a selection of cocktails and summer snacks, according to the zoo. Live bands will play each night. A few bands from the lineup include the Antwerp girl group BLOND, the Jazz Ratpack and Stoomboot.
"Music is deeply rooted in the DNA of Antwerp ZOO and visitors to the ZOOmerbar will have known this too," the zoo said in a press release. "For 62 days, different musicians give their best seven nights a week on stage next to the iconic Kiosk. The musical offer is enormously varied: from French chansons, Dutch hits, popular covers, jazzy crooners and even a dash of country."
