Actually, that was when we paid this place a visit, namely because we had come to see the last post and I wanted to have a drink beforehand, especially at this pub because it was, well, just across the road. I can't comment on the styles of beer since this is a pub in Belgium and there is never a bad Belgium beer (well there is, but they are few and far between, and Stella).

It appeared to have a lot of locals having a drink of the 61 beers available. In addition to being a watering whole it has a small museum attached but on this occasion there wasn't time to visit. It closes early in the evening so don't expect a late session. No food being served but rather nice hot chocolate with wiped cream atop. Worth a visit if you are walking the ramparts of the town.

Through faithful Yelp, we found this establishment which claimed to be the oldest in the world. It's in a beautiful location down a cobblestoned street near the canals. Plenty of parking. Serve staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We heard their French Onion Soup was amazing so we ordered a bowl each, a beer (welcome to Belgium), and shared a quiche. I couldn't stop eating the bread they brought to the table. Everything was absolutely delicious in a cozy, magical environment. We dreaded leaving and would have come back here if we were staying in Bruges.

This is a tough place for me to review. In my heart it deserves all the stars in the world because…read moreit is such a cool, historical place. I struggle giving all the stars because I tried to make eye contact for a beer refill for about an hour. I think if you have half a day to relax or don't mind spending half of your day relaxing, eating, drinking then this spot is absolutely and excellent experience. Community tables so large groups indoors might be difficult. In the warmer months there is outdoor seating which looks like it can accommodate more people. Plan to be extremely assertive to get the attention of the people working there (refills or food orders). They are running around trying to make it all work (aka extremely busy). I bumped into this place on a walk around the back streets but it seems to be a destination for tourists (and locals). The historical hype definitely pulls people. Worth a try! Excellent stop. Sit back, relax, enjoy the vibe.

It is an old world style restaurant similar to a pub and beer is definitely the thing here. They have a beer menu to make your head spin and spew pea soup trying to decipher. But, it is all excellent. The meal started with an amuse bouche, a seafood and mayo delight. There are also so many food choices that it is hard to select. Our friends recommended a seafood salad. It's a large tomato cored open and stuffed with tiny shrimp. There's endive and a light sauce. These shrimp are a type of delicacy. They are taken from the sand by horses pulling them out with some type of catch basin. It takes a very long time to shell these tiny creatures. They don't look particularly appetizing on a plate but they do taste good. As with any dish it came with fries, these were perhaps the best I've had so far. Plump and fried just right. I tried a local dark beer and it was excellent. For dessert I just had a coffee. The service was excellent. Friendly and very helpful. There's a hotel here as well. We were here at an off hour for lunch but imagine it fills full with locals and tourists alike.

They have an impressive and entertaining beer menu where you can read the flavour and pick what you like. I am not so much a beer drinker but the Lindemans Kriek (cherry beer) van 't vat is the best in the world. It just tastes better than anywhere else I had it, don't ask me why. Once I organised an event here and they were so nice to let us use the upper floor for this. Great variety jenevers also, and in the winter I find the hot chocolate with amaretto quite the bargain. Table service can take a while but then you just go up to the bar... This is my favorite bar in the world. Also just the right noise level to still be able to have good conversations. I miss it. I want to go NOW!

Middelburg's living room. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 2am. Laid back, indie bar for all ages…read moreduring the week. A bit louder, busier, younger, less indie and more dance and even some Dutch party music on friday and saturday nights. And one of the few places in town where sunday afternoons and sunday nights can actually be pretty good. Seventy-Seven (just call it 'Sev' if you want to blend in) is where Middelburgers learn to drink, fall in love, celebrate the birth of their children, come to to find old friends on christmas eve (even if they left the city decades ago), catch their elderly parents getting drunk and eventually catch their own kids having their first beers. One of the oldest bars in town: people have been drinking here on this spot since at least the 1780s. The original building was destroyed in a fire in the 1890s. The present-day building dates from around that time and survived Word War II. It's current decor is from around 1970 when the original De Koophandel (The Commerce) was renamed Seventy-Seven. Probably one of the ugliest and most worn out of all Middelburg bars, which adds to the charm. Other features: regular drum 'n bass nights, not so regular live music, huge terrace out front from april till october. The selection of beers (about 5 on draught, 10 on bottle) could be better. But the atmosphere is always good and you can get crisps, peanuts (free!) and all sorts of toasties around the clock.
