Nice bar with great soundtrack in the background. Good prices and lovely staff! They sent us over a complementary drink and were helpful with the beer choices.

I am one of these fortunate people who visit Bruges five or six times a year.
Though Tom closes his bar on Thursdays I always try to pay him a visit at least two or three times each trip.
This is such a happy place, I never leave it with out a smile on my face. Tom will make you laugh, he will also supply good beer excellent coffee and soft drinks and even Scotch Whisky and the local gins. Available too is a little nibbling plate of cheese and smoked meat, just the thing to go with a good strong beer.
This cafe is very traditionally Belgian, with music of the 60s 70s or earlier from around the world played loud enough to be heard but not so loud as to be intrusive.
As a visitor to this beautiful city you will find a warm welcome here by Tom, the local folks, and the British expats who all use this place.
So if you are in Bruges and you can find it, drop into the Volkscafe I am sure you will not be disappointed.
