The beers here are amazing with over 20+ on tap there is something for everyone - and some must try Trappist beers. I absolutely loved this spot. Only reason for not having 5 stars? The service. Although the place was relatively crowded, it was not very crazy at all especially when we first came in after opening and the staff behind the bar were kind of rude. I asked for a flight and they seemed annoyed they had to make one instead of just pouring 1 beer, and i was reading the menu and didn't have all my numbers ready to fire off - more upset. Additionally, my wife and I sat down at the bar about 1 hour after the place opened and we both had glass all over our chairs and now in our bottoms. The bartender was annoyed when my wife asked him to clean it - he said some glass thing exploded there before opening... so you didn't clean it? And then were annoyed customers had glass in their pants? make that make sense.

We'd planned to have dinner here but did not make a booking and really lucked out with the last table open when we came in. Please, ensure you make a booking if you want to dine here. I had no idea how consistently full they'd be and felt grateful the entire time to have snagged a spot. When I tell you my fish stew has to be one of the top 5 things I've ever eaten in life, I am not kidding. It was so spectacular. I had no idea what to order and asked for a recommendation and this was it. This soup blew my mind, spoonful after spoonful it was the yummiest, most delish, comfort meal I've had in a long time. We had a very and tasty experience. Highly recommend.

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.

While a lot of folks visiting Bruges stop off at 't Brugs Beertje (as you should), my favorite hole in the wall bar (LITERALLY! a hole in the wall) is this place. Since the door isn't at eye level, it's easy to miss. It's an underground bar that is a little dark, a little dank but all sorts of good. The beer selection is awesome (some really select beers you can't find in the States) and the bartenders are fabulous. The beers here tend to be 10-20% cheaper than 't Brugs Beertje. Grab a seat, order a fantastic Belgian beer and relish in the fact that you're hanging out in one of the coolest bar and city in Belgium.

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!
