Cuelemans

It is in Mechelen midway between Brussels and Antwerp. The place has been custom built to Raymond's specification (including the building). I have not been there for a cople of years but his sons Kurt and Koen also played there. I once asked Raymond how to play a certain shot at three cushion billiards and he said something like 37 25 64 referrring to points on the cushions, You will enjoy it there but beware of the Duvel (the famously strong Belgian beer that they sell). They used to call the place Mr 100 after the number of major titles that the boss had won.

I have played there a few times when my wife and I go to Europe. I don't think he designed the building though, it looks like it could have been an old furniture store or something. It is neat in that there are just a few tables, about 8 and there are eating booths around. You are actually playing in more of a restaurant then a billiard room and people are having dinner right next to where you are playing.. It is quite expensive also. I had an omelet and a desert once, it came to $30.00. If someone tells me how to post pictures I wil post some pictures of the place.

Thanks for the info..
to recap the name of the place is Mr.100 in Mechelen.
For some reason I thought his place was the Masters in Diest but was not sure.
re: DUVEL ...there are a lot more belgian beers than Duvel...about 600 more!...and I've had most of them...lol.
I'll be sure to post about my visit there when I get back.
