2 speakeasies worth the night across Belgium, editor-ranked. All Belgium guides.
Jigger's in the Patershol is Ghent's most serious cocktail destination: a medieval cellar bar with 500+ spirits, seasonal cocktail menu and a hidden-feeling intimacy despite being well-known.
TipArrive by 21:00 to guarantee a seat; the bar fills to capacity on weekends and does not take walk-ins after 22:00.
Hotsy Totsy on the Hoogstraat is a dark 1930s-style bar with red velvet and a record collection: the most atmospherically speakeasy-like room in the Patershol without being a formal cocktail bar.
TipThe bar is at its best on quieter Tuesday and Wednesday evenings when the Patershol crowd thins and the vinyl gets full attention.
