Called in here for a nightcap on our way back to our campervan. Stumbled upon a really fun little bar and ended up staying much longer than intended. The juke box was a big hit and got the whole bar singing & dancing! A great alternative to the more touristy bars in the centre. Landlady and locals all very friendly too!

Premise : we are a group of 7 lads in their early-mid thirties visiting Brugge on a sunny April week-end. So, it was saturday night, we were partying in the city til late. We were pretty hammered, to end the evening we were looking either for a karaoke bar or for a strip club. No such thing in Brugge. So we decided to head back to our RV. On our way back, we passed by this lovely café. From the outside it seemed to be a normal pub with customers in their early seventies contemplating about their lives. So, we went in for a last drink. We discovered this jukebox, asked for some songs, one thing led to another and the crowd went berserk! Eventually, the customers, even with their iron hips, danced on the tables (to be fair, they might have been younger than 60, but as already told, we were smashed.) Jukebox 10/10 - 2 euro for 7 songs seems a pretty fair price. Jupiler 10/10 - it is by far not the best Belgian beer, but the location and the atmosphere made every single sip taste like liquid gold. The owner Hejdi 10/10 - we broke a few glasses and poured beer all over the place. She took it very easy and told not to worry about it. Darts board NA - you can't play darts after 10 PM. Well, we wouldn't have hit any treble 20 anyway. Overall 10/10, highly recommend.

Excellent little bar. Jupiler tap is ice cold and they start serving pretty early in the day :)

A local beer on the outskirts of the main central city. There's nothing flashy, but we had a warm welcome and the bar opened to late, so a good place to stop off on the way home.

Finally a place which is not a tourist trap. Nice calm place with good beer and coffee, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Only possible to pay with cash however.
