't Brugs Beertje on Kemelstraat is the reference beer cafe of Bruges, pouring around 300 Belgian beers with five on draft in a small brown room.

De Garre ★ 4.6

Hours: Mon-Thu 12:00-00:00; Fri 12:00-01:00; Sat 11:00-01:00; Sun 12:00-00:00
De Garre hides down the narrowest alley off Breidelstraat in Bruges, pouring its 11% house Tripel van De Garre brewed by Van Steenberge in a snug brick room.
Tip: The alley is a doorway-wide gap off Breidelstraat; blink and you miss it. Cash and card both work.

markt · Kuipersstraat 33, 8000 Brugge
Hours: Mon-Tue 17:00-01:00; Thu-Sun 17:00-01:00; Wed closed
Le Trappiste pours beer in a vaulted 13th-century cellar on Kuipersstraat in Bruges: 27 taps and around 150 bottles, heavy on Trappist and abbey styles.
Tip: Closed Wednesday. The downstairs cellar is the room to ask for; the taps rotate often.
Bar Ran ★ 4.4
markt · Kuipersstraat 4, 8000 Brugge
Hours: Wed-Sat 17:00-00:00; Sun-Tue closed
Bar Ran on Kuipersstraat in Bruges is the city's serious cocktail room, with a deep spirits back bar and disco on the speakers. Walk-in only, no reservations.

vlamingstraat · Vlamingstraat 82, 8000 Brugge
Hours: Mon-Thu 17:00-02:00; Fri-Sat 17:00-03:00; Sun 17:00-02:00
't Poatersgat on Vlamingstraat in Bruges hides down a small gate into a candle-lit medieval cellar, with a long Belgian beer list and a warm vaulted room.
Tip: Look down for the gate or you walk straight past it. Quieter on weeknights than the Markt bars.
Groot Vlaenderen ★ 4.3
vlamingstraat · Vlamingstraat 94, 8000 Brugge
Hours: Wed-Sun 17:00-01:00; Mon-Tue closed
Groot Vlaenderen on Vlamingstraat in Bruges is an elegant cocktail bar in a grand room, with a winter fireplace and a quiet courtyard out back.
