  • The decor may not be as authentic as its history, but this is a good place to sample traditional brews and authentic pub food.

  • “Sudden Death” may sound alarming, but this famous bar, redesigned in Rococo style in 1926, is named after a dice game. It is also the name of a gueuze beer (see Types of Belgian Beer).

  • A beer-drinking shrine of world class, with some 500 beers.

  • House, soul, disco and funk in an old warehouse in the red-light district. The best-known – and, to many, the best – disco in town.

  • A glamorous complex of themed Latin-American-style areas: Cuban market, high street, ballroom. It holds Saturday-night salsa, and Latin-American “fiestas” on advertised dates.

  • Café Vlissinghe

    Said to be the oldest Bruges tavern, founded 1515. Van Dyck apparently met local painters here. Serves light lunches. There’s a boules court in the garden.

  • Bruges has limited night life, but this jazz café has a welcoming crowd and good basic cooking.

  • Hidden away from the tourist throngs, the famous Toone puppet theatre (see Théâtre Royal de Toone, Brussels) has an atmospheric bar serving decent beers and light meals.

  • A lively nightspot, a few metres from the Grand Place, with Cuban DJs and an international crowd.

  • A famous old staminee (pub), at the foot of a folksy little alleyway. Also serves light snacks.
