‘t Poatersgat

Thoughtful, careful recommendations by the bar tender (important due to the extensive list of local beers). Only serving non-​commercial, interesting beers. Smells like you’re underground in Brugge, well, because you are.

Spacious, quirky bar in the large cellar under a seemingly abandoned old house a few hundred metres from the market square.
The entrance is easy to miss, just a flight of steps leading down into the darkness with a whiff of stale beer. Together these repel most of the more mainstream tourists which helps the atmosphere enormously.
Once inside, there’s lots of tables and a few comfy armchairs, olde worlde furnishings and an enormous selection of beers at pretty reasonable prices. Service was a bit slow late on a Sunday afternoon, but friendly enough and the clientele were mixed but mostly younger. Can’t believe it took until about my sixth trip to Bruges to discover this place!

Pour aller dans ce bar il faut vraiment le vouloir !
En effet, vous passerez devant un bon nombre de fois sans le voir, ou sans oser y rentrer si vous né savez pas qu’il est là !
Avec ses quelques marches et ce petit passage en contrebas du trottoir, né s’y aventurent que les gens informés. C’est donc grâce à notre petit guide de Brugge que nous y sommes allés… et quel plaisir !
Ce bar, éclairé à la bougie n’était pas surpeuplé (un dimanche soir) et propose un grand choix de bières à des tarifs tout à fait abordable ! Une fois que l’on a choisi parmi la longue carte des boissons, il suffit d’aller au bar chercher notre/​nos breuvages !
J’ai pris une Lindemans à la framboise, elle était délicieuse, et pour n’en avoir jamais goûté, je me suis demandé si elle était alcoolisée (seulement 2,5% après vérification), pour moins de 3 € contre environ 5 € ailleurs…
En bref, ce bar est un lieu typique, où on peut découvrir un peu plus la culture belge, j’adore !

nette (tanz)bar, in der neben tischkicker und dart auch mal etwas ausschweifender gefeiert werden darf, wie wir erleben durften: D große Auswahl an Bier, wie fast schon üblich in belgischen bars.

Of all the beer bars in the world, you had to walk into mine. It’s ok if you walk into this one though, because I want to tell everyone about this place!
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.

This is one of the coolest bars that I have ever been in. It’s located in a cellar and has awesome ambiance that can’t be adequately described. The beer selection is huge, with each option tastier than the next. Our bartender also gave us as much water as we wanted free of charge, which is a novelty in Europe. The bar is situated kind of off the beaten path, but is absolutely worth a visit.

LOVED this place. It’s a little tucked-​away cellar bar that’s ever-​so-​slightly off the beaten path, with tons of personality. You can get great beers just about everywhere in Brugges but this one had the atmosphere to clinch the deal. I’ll definitely return on my next visit!

This is one of my favorite places in all of Belgium right now. Brugges is almost worth visiting just to come here.
It’s an large, old, underground cellar turned into a trendy, unique bar that puts up a big crowd on the weekends. Good energy, young crowd, nice place to meet new friends in Belgium.

Great pub with more than 100 different beers abd a great atmosphere

This place looks great! Take a butchers at the photos! They serve an enormous selection of beers. To make the choice easier I went for the seasonal specials, which still came in their own glasses (what a great tradition). Oh yeah and they tasted pretty good too. This place is pretty empty in the early evening so you can spread out and if you are lucky you might get the sofa/​comfy chair bit of the bar, that feels like someone’s front room. Late at night the bar is packed, but is large enough to cope.
