    We came in here to have drinks and they seated us right away despite there being a few large parties. Our waiter recommended some drinks to us. The menu had many options for beer and wine. I enjoyed my blonde ale and my friends enjoyed rose and a fruit beer. The inside was cozy and simply decorated, pub vibes.

    Amazing stout! Not on the menu! Must ask the bartender if they have any in the cellar

    Awesome selection of beer! All I did was drink here so I can't comment on the food. Had one of the best stouts I've ever had. The bartender told me it's not on the menu and I should try it. It did not disappoint! He was a very cool guy. Wish I remembered his name. Definitely stop in for a drink if you're in the area.

    This is the place you've been looking for...

    Get off the square and hit the side street to discover Cafe Rose Red, named after the book by Stephen King. Charming and delicous.

    A nice Gueze selection by my waitress.

    I really loved this cafe. I went here both days that I was in Brugge. The atmosphere is really laid back and relaxed. I was traveling alone and didn't feel awkward being a single female there. The beer list is really incredible and affordable. I made my way through most of the lambics and guezes that I would never be able to find in America. The service is super friendly and are great at making recommendations. I also tried a salami plate which was huge and served with a bunch of bread. If I lived in Brugge I would make this my daily bar.

    Beautiful bar with delicious snacks and a great little patio where you can just kick back and relax. The beer selection is enormous, but the staff is friendly and helpful. Just talk to them about what you like, and they'll help you. Husband and I enjoyed charcuterie and Westmalle while listening to the church bells of Bruges. This was recommended to us by a friend who had lived in Bruges awhile ago. Glad it's still around. Great place to chill out.

    one great beer

    This is my first stop when I blow through Bruges. There are other great beer bars, but this one starts you off right. They have a constantly rotating selection of great draft beers, and also a SMALL selection of great draft beers, and the ambiance is quiet - - almost beer reverential, but not that serious. Once you've savored one or two stellar brews here, you settle into the frame of mind, that both warms you to the wonderfulness that Belgian beer can be, and settles you calmly in your frame to go confront the virtual Disneyland that is the rest of Bruges.

    Try the Augustijn. You'd never guess this blond would pack a punch!

    In Bruges, do not miss this unique bar. There are a number of incredible beers available (honestly pages and pages). The cheese plate has a great variety of flavors and the staff is welcoming and friendly. There's a cozy spot in the corner to read or to chill out and just people watch.

    How could you go wrong w/ over 15 verities of Cantillon? Serious beer nerds can really geek out at this place.

    Cafe Rose Red was recommended to me by a few fellow beer nerds I ran into in Brussels at Cantillon, which in itself is about as good of a recommendation as you can get. With a great location in downtown Bruges, and a great draft and bottle list from the likes of Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen it is really worth a visit! I was even able to drink a bottle of 2014 Kriek from 3 Fonteinen that they hadn't had left at the brewery the week before! Cozy pub great for conversation, and great beer, but probably not dinner with only tapas and bar snacks on the menu. Cheers!

    What a wonderful place to spend some time sampling and sipping from the extensive selection of belgian beers here in this relaxed environment where the service is good and the beer flowing. You can even buy the beer sampler consisting of four beers for 10 euro. The cafe has a very warm look as the lighting and ambiance is warm and cozy. You can also order a plate or two of finger food to snack on while you try the belgian beer. Treat yourself to a visit to Cafe Rose Red if you're ever in Brugges, Belgium.

Just some nuts and packs of chips. We got the popular paprika chips and tried their two most popular beers. They really have interesting beer glasses, we saw others carrying foghorn shaped glasses, hourglass shaped glasses, etc. They have both outside and inside seating. We sat outside right by the canal. The view was great from there. Loved our beers too! There are no servers, you have to order at the counter and wait for your beers by the adjacent station.

    Such a fun place to enjoy a beer!…read more I took a day trip to Bruges back in May 2024. I had bookmarked a few places to check out and 2be was one of them. On a walking tour of the city, we passed by 2be so I made a point to visit once the tour ended. The beer wall in the entry way is pretty awesome! I have no idea how many beers are on display, but each one has it's own drinking glass. I visited on a Saturday afternoon so it was very busy with patrons. The lines can get long, but they actually move pretty fast. The bartenders are nice and efficient. You can scan a QR code for the menu or you can pull down a menu from the ceiling while you're in line. They have menus in multiple languages including English, Spanish, and French. I had the Brugs Tarwebier. I don't remember what size I ordered but it was a decent amount of beer. I liked the glass that it was served in. They have really cool drinkware, but don't even think about taking it because they have antitheft sensors on them. All of the beers were less than €7. I really wanted to try a Delirium Tremens, but I was short on time and wasn't gonna pound a beer that is 8.5% ABV. Maybe next time lol.

    Long before I met Lauren, Leine and I traveled Europe, landing in Brugge in a small aircraft and…read moretwo overstuffed bags, out for blood. And eventually, out for beer at Bar des Amis. It's the kind of place you get drunk and look around and marvel at the inevitability of life's wonderment. That if you choose a path, it somehow finds you. And with Leine being blonde and gorgeous carrying around a tiny jar of moonshine infused custard for occasional dips of her pinky, I felt myself turning into an image I'd dreamed of since the age of nine, a traveling artist with a muse and the caked wavy hair once worn by Tristan Tzara, the dark sunken eyes of Man Ray, Leine posing at Bar des Amis as if in black and white with a bottle of Duval. She pours it slowly. Sips, leans in to kiss me and I can still hear the bubbles fizzle out on her lips. The bartender is tall and modelesque, and takes to Leine. He adds us on Facebook. I order three rounds of beer here and they're sweet; this moment is so rich, it's cloying. I can't help but think of what can go wrong. Yet the barstools feel stable beneath us. The Bar des Amis furniture is nothing special. The patrons, though, are. They are glad, not yelling at the TV during soccer like in the other pubs. The bartender gives us a free shot and smiles at my flirtatious girl. Her shoulders are exposed and she's receptive. Her energy is a powerful light beaming from the chest. She reminds me of me! He leans in to tell us that Brugge is thinking of creating a network of underground piping strictly for beer because the cobblestone alleyways are too narrow for the beer trucks. Leine laughs but I've turned cynical and profess that the town looks a bit like the town in Pinocchio. Like the buildings are set pieces and that our perfect little world might crumble. How much beer did I have here? Am I that unsure of her love? I'm being unfair, of course. Leine has done nothing to deserve my darkness. Her hand has been a fixture on my thigh. It's not until later, when we meet an Englishman here, who warns us of pickpockets in Rome, that our night unfolds into powder white oblivion.

    The Bruges Beer Experience is a must if you're in Bruges and wanting to sample some Belgium beers…read more I'd highly recommend coming here. You can come on your own and cozy up to the bar for a tasting or a pint all on your own. Just note seating will be first come first serve and since it's popular it can get busy. Probably a little bit better coming on a weekday if you have the flexibility. I came with a tour group which had its perks. We had reserved seating which was very nice. The Bruges Beer Experience is located inside the Beer Museum in downtown Bruges Belgium. The signage was clear but again come with a guide as a part of a tour guaranteed we didn't miss it. It's popular enough though you'll find it by walking with your GPS or asking the shops. Located on the upper floor it's cool that the bar is on the second/third floor (went up a few flights of stairs with turns so lost count of floors) but let's just say you are high up and if you can snag a window seat you'll have a great view of the town while sipping a beer. If you want to do a beer flight is only 10 euros, very reasonable. By getting a tour/coming with a guide we were offered reserved seating, four beer samples (good size), and a cup of cheese bites to split amongst our table. It was really lovely! Perfect amount for a taste and light snacking. The cheese was good and the beers were awesome! There wasn't a beer that I didn't like. Good selection and after the tasters you can certainly order more beers if you'd like more. My favorite beer was their starting light beer and amber. Honestly though everything was good, big fan of the double amber I believe they called it. Good beers here and it got busier throughout the day. I liked that the crowd had good range, definitely a tourist spot in some ways but stellar beers I wish I was a local! Huge kudos to the staff here because they are so nice and welcoming. Sometimes when you come to places like this with a tour the establishments aren't always as cheering to have you (tourists can be a pain) but here they made you feel like VIP and totally appreciate your business and are proud to share about their beers and such. Definitely 5 stars when it came to friendless and attentiveness. I appreciated the high energy of the staff and that they allowed me to take pictures of the bottles of all of the beers that I was trying on tap. Made for a memorable experience and if you like beer you 100% need to stop in here. I'd come back easily without a tour just to sit back and relax sampling some more of their beers. They have a new sour calling my name so I must come back!

    I bought tickets online about 2 weeks prior for a 12 pm Monday time slot with a tasting. It was…read moresuch a cool experience! When you first enter the museum, you're greeted with a really eye-catching display of beer cans, that spell out the word "beer", and a bunch of really cool beer posters. Once you get upstairs, they'll give you a tablet and it becomes an interactive experience. There are QR codes all over the museum that you scan, and you can watch videos/hear audio about the history of beer. I would say the coolest exhibit is the globe. You can scan various countries and learn about the history of beer from those regions. It took us about a hour to see pretty much everything we wanted but if you want to go at a more leisurely pace, or if you're super into beer, you could spend 1.5 to 2 hours here. Afterwards, you can head to the tasting room (if you booked that addition) and they give you 4 tokens for a tasting. My favorite beer was the Rodenbach Fruitage, which was a nice and crisp raspberry beer. They also have snacks for purchase, but we were saving our stomachs for an actual lunch. It's definitely worth a visit when you're in Bruges. Don't forget the photo ops with the bottles of beer on the wall in the museum!
