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!

La Casita

Reviewed By Victorvh88 - Ghent, Belgium

If you are looking for a nice bar during the week when everything is closed, you need to go to La Casita. The barmaid is super nice and makes very good cocktails. The bar is not so big but that empowers the cozy atmosphere. After a drink or 2 you forget that you are in rainy Belgium and imagine yourself with your feet in the sand. Cheers

Riesling & Pinot wijnbar-wijnshop

Reviewed By mbu93 - Brussels, Belgium

What a lovely night! The barman was very nice, welcoming us amd helping us traslate the menu suggesting the best taste based on our needs. The choice of wine (glass or bottle) is huge. I strongly suggest to take a plate of mix cheeses and hams as a combo with the wine. You will not regret it. I would like to come back during winter, with snow outside... Lovely!

Brugse Gin Club

The Brugse Gin Club Gin Bar & Store (BGC - Bruges Gin Club) offers the largest selection of gins in Bruges and the wide surroundings. Over 480 different gins are served in a small bar hidden in the heart of the historic centre between the Fish Market and the Botanic Gardens. The bar is only open during weekends from Friday to Sunday from 6pm and during school holidays. Owner-ginologist Edward welcomes you in the cozyiness of his kitchen and provides you with a personalized table service. If you get in, that is, because the door is closed and knocking is obligatory. The bar can accomodate only 20-odd patrons and strictly operates on a first come, first seated principe. Bookings are not accepted. Locals as well as visitors from all over the world come to the bar to escape the rush of touristic Bruges and relax in the laid back atmosphere garnished with classic and contemporary jazz.

Six of us visited this little bijou bar and had a whale of a time!! Edward was informative and attentive - the Gins were marvellous and Edwards help in mixing and matching was fab! We were a little shocked at the price, but actually decided it was well worth it if you think what a mediocre gin costs in a pub at home! Will definitely send friends your way Edward!!

Staminee De Garre

Reviewed By 969jonathand - Bishops Stortford, United Kingdom

Been coming here years and it never disappoints. Only problem is in the high season so difficult to get a table. Much easier in February. Fantastic ambiance, great service and fantastic beers especially the Garre house beer. I dream of coming here when I’m at work in the UK on a dull wet day. Have some cheese cubes and saucisson with Ghent strong mustard with your beer. Delightful.

De Hollandse Vismijn

Reviewed By philD128 - Ringmer, United Kingdom

This is the bar to relax in during and at the end of busy days in bustling Bruges. Obviously a favourite with the locals (always a good sign) the staff are attentive and friendly the ambience is excellent and liquid refreshment in abundance. The location (The fish market) is close to all the action without being part of it.

I've been many times to Bruges and never fail to visit the Beer Wall. Great selection of beers, love the multi-lingual beer menus hanging from the ceiling. The Outside terrace is great when the weather is kind. Wave to the tourist boats going by and feel rather smug relaxing with beer in hand. Love it !

T' Brugsch Bieratelier

Reviewed By bevvyjane2017 - Liss, United Kingdom

A friend of mine recommended this place to us, which i am so glad he did, out hotel was right next door which was very handy! What can I say, on first sight it seemed really tiny and dark. But there is a room at the back which was a little bigger. The staff were very welcoming and knew there beer! The amount of different Belgian beers was immense. My son tried the 12 taster beers, which made him a little drunk! The bar is covered in notes (money) which have all been signed by the people who donated them from many different countries, also beer mats that have been signed. Can't wait to visit again.
