The green frites kiosk on the Markt in Bruges is the classic late stop, where locals line up for a cone of frites with sauce after the bars wind down.
Try: Frites with sauce
Tip: It is the most reliable late feed in the centre. Cash or card, frites with mayonnaise the order.
't Brugs Beertje on Kemelstraat in Bruges keeps pouring its 300-strong Belgian beer list into the early hours, with cheese plates to line the stomach.
Try: Belgian beer and cheese plates
Tip: Last orders around midnight. The cheese plate soaks up a late Trappist; the list rewards a slow night.
De Republiek on Sint-Jakobsstraat in Bruges keeps its courtyard and bar running late, a grand cafe by the arthouse cinema that draws a younger local crowd.
Try: Grand-cafe plates and drinks
Tip: The courtyard fills on warm nights. The kitchen closes before the bar, so eat early and keep drinking late.

't Poatersgat on Vlamingstraat in Bruges runs late in its candle-lit cellar, a long Belgian beer list and a warm vaulted room away from the Markt crowds.
Try: Belgian beer and bar snacks
Tip: Look down for the gate. Quieter and later than the square bars, it pulls a local late crowd.
