3 editor picks in Ghent.
3 late-night dives in Ghent our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Ghent nightlife.
Cafe Video in the Zuid has been the haunt of Ghent's art and underground crowd since the 1980s: art-covered walls, cheap Belgian beer and absolutely no social media presence.
TipNo Google listing, no sign on the door; the only way to find it is to walk down Bagattenstraat and check if the light is on.
't Dreupelkot serves only jenever: 100+ varieties in a standing-room-only dark wood pub near the Groentenmarkt, open until 01:00 at weekends.
TipThe bar has no seating; you stand at the dark counter with your glass. No cocktails, no wine, no beer: jenever only.
De Dulle Griet on the Vrijdagmarkt is Ghent's most-loved brown cafe with 500 Belgian beers: the Max-glass shoe ritual is the late-night cultural centrepiece.
TipHand over a shoe as deposit for the 1-litre Max glass; you get it back when you return the glass. The ritual is mandatory.
