On a Thursday evening in August 2008, it was packed, noisy, and quite dark; not a pleasant drinking experience at all. At least there wasn't a loud live band as well which there has been on a previous visit. Although it's a pretty large pub, by 5:30pm most of the tables were either taken or reserved, and it was pretty much standing room only half an hour later.
The architecture internally is relatively interesting.

They've had Kriek on tap in the past, but the only Kriek available on this visit was bottled Boon Kriek (£4.50/375ml, though the beer menu claimed this should have been £4.85).

The internal architecture is relatively interesting. There's very little natural light on the top floor, and they keep the lighting dim to the point where it's impossible to read a book.

However, it can actually be a pleasant enough place to drink if you (a) can afford the expensive bottled beers, and (b) can get here outside peak hours; 2pm-4pm on a weekday afternoon should be just about right.
