Bars & Nightlife

A lot of old-school cafés acquire a definite bar vibe as the sun nears the horizon. Spend long summer evenings chatting away with friends in a funky bar or on the river terraces. For a more adrenaline-packed party night, the city is your dance floor: salsa, hard rock, disco or drum ’n' bass — the beat thumps and the dance clubs fill up around the city centre and along the river Scheldt. Without a doubt, a major attraction in Flanders is the beer. You have numerous types, varieties and brands to explore. However, if you just want a small draft beer to pass the time, ask for "een pintje" or just show the bartender your little finger. Don't leave without trying De Kriek (cherry beer), the amazing Westmalle Dubbel, and be careful with the surprisingly strong Duvel.
