Huggy's in Liège, Belgium is a great place to grab a simple burger for a good price. We had great service- I wish I could remember our server's name, but it's gone now. But the L'Ambree was a solid beer that complemented my 'Le Spicy' burger very well. the onion rings are good, but not sized to share. Order a serving for everyone who wants some.

La Vaudrée is a small chain of bars created specifically to make sure gourmet-beer-seekers in…read moreBelgium have a place to go where they can find a huge selection and people to guide them through it. (From what I could see from the street, although Belgium makes a lot of beer, many of the local bars are Jupiler, Stella, etc.) We would have loved to support some tiny tavern that there's only one of or go straight to a monastery, but we were just quickly passing through Liège as our only stop in Belgium. We'd already tried a Jupiler (the local pride). La Vaudrée gave us a perfect place to try Belgian beers too small to be exported to the States, watch the Liège-Bastogne-Liège bike race on TV, and even hike up a nearby hill to see the race come by.*** If you just want to drink lots of Chimay really cheaply in your hotel room or along the riverbanks, I learned afterwards that you can get it or any other fine widely-exported trappist for 1.30-2 euros at any supermarket in town. But if you're looking for a cozy place with HUNDREDS of Belgians available for 3-5 euros/bottle (which is fair ... it is a bar, after all, not the liquor store), and friendly staff to guide you through what's what, Vaudrée is a great place for you! (Plus, if you've ever worked in a bar, you should go & see their beer-glass selection ... only a small portion of which is on display over the bar...you might get yet something else with your order. It's quite impressive.) 4 stars instead of 5 (wish 4.5 were an option) because I only really got into the flavor of 1 of the 3 beers I tried. That's more the fault of my picky palate than of La Vaudrée. That said, either there aren't as many sweet Belgians as I'd based on falling in love with highly sugary, cream-soda-ey ones like Tripel Karmeleit & Kwak, or my server hadn't tried enough beers in that direction to really know what was in the cooler to that end. I'd also put a constraint on the search to show me brews that probably weren't big enough for export to North America. Maybe many of the "safe"-tasting beers get exported for a reason. Local US craft brews are often a bit bitter, too, as I think that's how most beer snobs like it. I did like Brice, the first instinct of my waiter. ***(Note: the race swings through town about a 12-minute uphill walk from the course, which is probably easiest to find by zooming in on cyclists' paths on MapMyRide & Strava. The race ends at the Carrefour/ Pizza Hut / Uhoda Sa in Ans, though, so ignore any paths continuing on clockwise back into Liège from there ... those are from the previous-day social ride that follows but also overshoots the end of the pro course. Best sure bet for any given year's racecourse is to pull up MapMyRide/Strava after the social has finished on Saturday but before the pros get close to returning to town on Sunday. In 2016 it could be seen at Rue St. Laurent & Rue Bidaut, 50°38'27.1"N 5°33'28.2"E, approaching up RSL from the SW & turning NW onto RB.)

They have a nice restaurant and beer garden. The food is underrated. I had the boulet and they were ridiculous. The sauce that came on them were ridiculous. The fries were crunchy with a soft interior. Belgians just know how to do fries the right way. Everything is made fresh here and you can taste it. The bread was even some of the best I have had! The curtius beer was my favorite. It is light and goes down easy. You can also buy some to-go from the shop and I highly suggest you do that! So good! The service was great and the place was clean and fun. Apparently they have different parties and beer tastings when the weather is nice. Come check it out you won't regret it.

We walked past it last year and didn't have time to stay, so a year later we made it a special point to pop in here after our climb up and down the Montagne de Bueren. Their beer, Curtius, has taken over the town, and for good reason - it's a great, dry Blonde, at 7%, with a little cloudiness that's likely the result of some wheat in the mash. It's like a Duvel but drier and not quite as strong. They have a bar menu but were out of most things when we were there. So we got hapjes (chicken wings) and the cheese plate, which had 3 outstanding cheeses, including a really nice local chevre.

I had the good fortune of being the one and only patron for the first hour and I sat and talked to the owner, Pieter. This place just has that authentic Irish feel to it. I actually walked a half a mile past another Irish pub that was closer to my hotel to get to this one. Maastricht does not have as much exposure to Yelp, so I actually had to look for a recommendation on another site. That is exactly why I am reviewing this restaurant. Yelpers need to know this place! I enjoyed a Smithwick's on tap. The beer was extremely cold, and the pint was a perfect pour! However, the biggest draw for me was the fish and chips. They are absolutely delicious! The fish is a rather large piece, done right in beer batter. It is also extremely flaky and I consider this a good thing! The pub is also known to be a good place to watch European football. The TVs are hooked up to sound and broadcast in HD. Whether you're looking for a good pint, good food or just to enjoy a football game, this is your place. And let Pieter know that Craig from Yelp sent you!

It was a relatively warm evening, so we sat outside and the heat lamps kept us warm for most of the night. The thunder and rainstorm that was rolling in was quite something to watch from under the umbrellas, but we stayed dry and comfortable. Service was friendly and quick, and I do see myself bringing my parents here or other guests visiting from out of town.
