Open 11am or earlier

The following are open 11am or earlier on weekdays.


Not here so much for it's beer selection but for it's location: right on the Grote Markt. A good place for an early bolleke of De Koninck, especially in nice weather. The name roughly translates to "rascal," "scamp," or "naughty boy" etc.


Classic brown cafe just behind the cathedral.


Kulminator A Fred top pick  Closed Sunday Closed Monday Open 11am or earlier

Massive beer selection including a large selection of aged beers and beers from closed breweries. Literally a "Mom and Pop" operation, service can be a bit slow when they are crowded.


Oud Arsenaal  Fred Honorable Mention Closed Monday Closed Tuesday Open 11am or earlier


Right next to the Cathedral. Belgian bar food (pasta, omelets, croques, etc.)


De Pelgrim  Serves food Closed Monday Open 11am or earlier New entry in the Guide in 2016

Classic old pub -- newly renovated and reopened -- across from the De Koninck brewery.


Small corner bar near the Grote Markt. Additional seating upstairs, which is good because the main room is very small. There are often some very good beers on draft, but we need to review the bottled list again - reports welcome. Food is basically snacks.
