Anyone have any restaurant/bar/things to do recommendations for Bruges?
I know a few on here have been. I'm currently having a beer in St.Pancras about to board the Eurostar to Brussells, and looking for fun ways to spend this weekend.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah, there are SO many good bars there. Some boozy highlights:
'T Brugs Beertje - an awesome locals pub. Great atmosphere, stupidly long beer menu
De Halve Maan Brewery - great value, do the tour, get some beer samples, admire the view from the roof and get drinking the 10%+ stuff in the bar afterwards.
De Garre - not easy to find as it's down a very small alley, but this is a quaint little place with excellent beer. Good bar snacks. Can be quiet despite it being centrally located.
Beer Wall - a gem. You can't miss this place, bang in the middle of Bruges, tons to choose from.
Cafe Red Rose - a gorgeous, small bar which is worth looking up. A very intimate atmosphere, roses on the ceiling, tester beers, a friendly atmosphere. You could easily lose several hours in here.
Restaurants:
Diligence - this was a location used in 'In Bruges' - the scene with the dwarf and the hooker doing coke. If that doesn't appeal to you on it's own, the food will. Bloody superb. Excellent mussels and steak.
As with any european city, enjoy the scenery of the main square but avoid drinking there. Go for a wander, get yourselves a bit lost and you're bound to stumble upon a few gems.
And make sure you watch In Bruges before and after your trip. Enjoy it - it's one of my favourite cities.
