About

HEIN is a modern, welcoming estaminet located on Place Saint-Hubert in Lille, a short walk from Lille-Flandres station. Created by Brique House in partnership with Good Life's team, this hybrid venue blends craft brewery and traditional restaurant. Spread across three levels, HEIN serves generous Northern French cuisine reimagined: Welsh rarebit, carbonnade flamande, chicken with Maroilles cheese, mussels-frites, and meatballs, paired with homemade fries. The highlight: over 20 craft beers brewed on-site, poured from a wall of taps. The atmosphere combines industrial design with traditional décor, board games, and a terrace. Perfect for aperitifs, family meals, or gatherings with friends, HEIN embodies the contemporary revival of the estaminet.

Press review

What the sources say.

Excerpts from 12 editorial mentions cross-referenced by Gatto.

  • “Mais que les habitués ne s’inquiètent pas : ce qui fait l’ADN du HEIN reste. Le Nord est toujours fièrement représenté à travers les plats proposés à la carte. Mais les welshs, fricadelles et autres carbonades sont désormais servis avec beaucoup plus de générosité.”

  • “This is why Hein serves a regularly changing offering of locally brewed craft beers, along with a selection of others the owners have found to be of exceptional quality, including two American brews – New Queen in Town, a pale ale, and Yankee Trouble, a New England-brewed India pale ale.”
