During a previous visit we came across this excellent local pub near our hotel. It is warm and welcoming and Tom the landlord and his staff make you feel at home straight away. They bring the drinks to your table and it is very reasonably priced. There is a large choice of beers available, so don't miss this place or you will regret it. Be aware they are closed on Thursdays and when Club Brugge place their matches at home.

Stumbled across this unique little bar unfortunately at the end of our weekend in Bruge. Very friendly and relaxing ambience . Will definitely come back here.

Volkscafe was a much needed departure from all the tourist heavy cafes and pubs in Brugge. It’s not open too late (closes around 7pm), is full of locals and the owner makes you feel right at home. The beer selection is top notch or stop in for a morning or afternoon coffee. With 60s-80s classic rock and soul playing, it’s so welcoming. The perfect stop to end our trip on.
