If you like bottled beers you should visit 't Brugs Beertje, Kemelstraat 5, Brugge

Named "Bruges' Little Bear" the pub was opened in 1983 and has been a mecca for good beers ever since.

This is another small building with tight, or intimate, seating.

They offer 300 beers in bottle, with about 4 on tap. Tap beer is just not a big thing in Belgium.

This place ( http://www.halvemaan.be/nl/home ) is also a must. Interesting and fun brewery tour, free beer tasting, retail opportunity at the end.


I find that the Lonely Planet guidebooks are good for restaurant, bar and caf? recommendations and self guided walking tours. However, central Bruge is small, so wandering around is easy.


Chocolate shops in their hundreds, great for Christmas presents.


I love the place.

I got the ferry from Hull (or 'ull if you're from that way) when I used to work there. We did 12 hours in Bruges. Ferry - beers all night. Shuttle bus to Bruges, breakfast in Bruges on the square. A walk around the tower and historical sculptures then sausage and beer at the Christmas market. Boat ride round the rivers and then get yourself to de garre. A bar that serves their own beer 'de garre' at 13/14% (from what I can remember). They don't do pints funnily enough. Evening done. Ferry home.

'In Bruges' should be a pre requisite to visiting the city.

But isn't the medieval prettiness basically the whole reason for going? Bruges isn't exactly expensive either.


Ghent is nice, btw... a bit more fun than Bruges, perhaps.

    • Hi there,  Anyone have an updated number for Niko. I didn’t get a response on 07818 607583.    Thanks in advance. 
    • I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.   
    • There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂
    • This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.
