I'd checked out a few places to go for a drink local to our hotel in Bruges. This seemed a positive place judging by the reviews. I was not disappointed. My husband loved the array of different beers and I loved the cellar/underground like atmosphere. Different clientele from oldies to youngsters. A great hour was spent here one evening. Would recommend!
