A very quaint little pub! It gets very busy as soon as it opens so I would recommend getting there early for a table. It’s in a very touristy area yet has maintained a local pub feel.

Reputedly starred in a hairy bikers episode ‘t Brugs Beertje is a fantastic bar. It is made up of several rooms with only 19 seats around tables and about 10 at the bar. The back room have more tables. The selection of beer is large and the staff know the beers extremely we and can advise with authority. You select you beer from the menu with each type of beer grouped into styles of beer. There are some bar snacks from salami to croque Monsieur. Décor is eclectic with dried hops covering an area near the bar. The walls are covered in beer adverts. If you like to sample beer then this is a place to try. Opens most days from 4pm

my husband and I went here while visiting Bruges. The beer selection was almost overwhelming! So many selections. The waiter was very helpful and provided a lot of great suggestions. We were able to find a cozy table in the corner and settle in. All of the beers we tried were very good and we would definitely recommend this place to any and all beer lovers!

Autre incontournable lieu de Bruges pour les amateurs de bière, le «‘t Brugs Beertje«qui n’est qu’un «autre pub«de la ville mais plutôt un endroit où l’on vient déguster des bières car le choix est absolument impressionnant. C’est bien simple, je n’y ai pas vu deux personnes choisir la même bière lors de ma visite… Ouvert depuis 1983, c’est un lieu tout à fait charmant qui ravira tous celles et ceux qui veulent vraiment découvrir ce que sont les bières belges ou alors lorsque l’on recherché une bière spécifique(comme dans mon cas…), car il y a de fortes chances que vous la trouviez ici. Plutôt un choix intéressant de bouteilles que de pression qui sont plus«des bières de saison«. Selon ce que j’ai cru comprendre, la sélection dépasserait les 300 types de bières. Logé dans une maison de briques, soyez sur de né pas venir à n’importe quel moment de la journée car l’ouverture quotidienne est à 16 :00. Une petite salle bien conviviale dont les murs sont recouverts de plaques publicitaires de toute époque pour différentes brasseries. Dans un coin le bar mais on viendra si vous le préférez, vous servir et surtout vous conseiller à votre table. » Femme Fatale«de la brasserie«De Leite«située dans la commune belge d’Oostkamp, au coeur de la Flandre-Occidentale, une bière blonde légèrement ambrée de 6,5°. Une Kriek«Boon Mariage Parfait«. J’adore la Kriek mais selon moi il n’y a que deux brasseries qui en font de «la vraie«, le reste c’est de la «bibine sucrée aromatisée «…J’apprécie la «Cantillon«et la «Boon«qui n’ont rien avoir avec la plupart des bières de supermarchés. Les premières traces de la brasserie Boon remontent à 1680, avec une ferme abritant une brasserie-distillerie à Lembeek. Lembeek, ancienne«ville franche«à la limite entre le Duché de Brabant et le Hainaut, située dans un méandre de la Senne, a compté jusqu’à 43 brasseries à fermentation spontanée. «Lembeek«a donné son nom à la bière qui y était brassée: «Lambic«. La brasserie Boon est la seule brasserie qui subsiste à Lembeek. La Kriek est une bière aromatisée avec des cerises acides. La Kriek«Boon Mariage Parfait«est un lambic de 1 an qui contient 400gr de vraies cerises trop mûres par litre. Un des convives ayant faim a simplement pris ce snack plutôt assez courant dans le nord appelé «Toasty«, sorte de croque-monsieur belge ou néerlandais. Tout amateur de bière se doit de faire une visite ici car je né connais pas énormément de cafés où le choix est aussi vaste et l’ambiance vraiment très agréable.

Such a cute tiny jar tucked away from the main square. They had a huge booklet of all the different beers they offered! Definitely a must go for the beer lovers!

Awesome beer choices, friendly staff, and fun people! On a quiet side street, and frequented by locals and tourists. The food choices are limited, but the beers are extensive. They have some drafts but more by the bottle. They are cash only, but there is an ATM nearby.

A total gem! Tiny, out of the way pub off the main drag. We stumbled in here after our initial Unilocal-recommended restaurant wasn’t open yet. The lady who runs the place is SUPERNICE and helpful — she explained the special beers in detail and was quick to serve(uncommon in Europe). We enjoyed the atmosphere and also got some food off the menu. I had the spaghetti bolognese, which was surprisingly fantastic(I was starving and needed food) and my husband had some pâté which he loved. All in all a great place to stop by for some beer and atmosphere off the main drag!

Such a cute little place tucked in a small alley off the main streets. We went after dinner for a few glasses of beer and enjoyed every bit of it. Neither of us are beer experts, so I can’t comment on the quality or selection, but suffice it to say that all looked good even to the inexperienced eyes. I loved my Vedett white beer too! Ambience is the best part. Lovely décor and with the classical music playing in the background, it was the most sophisticated beer pub I had ever been to. Highly recommend it if you are in Brugge!

We were in Bruges during the true off-season for the area(the month of January). Many businesses have closed for the month and ‘gone fishing’(as one sign we saw said). After unsuccessfully attempting to go to other highly rated bars in the area, we stumbled upon ‘t Brugs Beertje and they were open for business and ready to serve. Located on a cute little back street(but then again, all back streets are like that in Bruges), the bar has a many tables, but also feels like a nice small bar, as tables are located in multiple rooms. A wonderful Belgian vibe inside, tastefully decorated. The real reason you are coming to this bar is for the beer and they do not disappoint. Upon arrival, you are presented with a 20+ page booklet listing pretty much ever beer made in Belgium. It can be a little daunting if you don’t know each and every small brewery or Trappist monastery, but our waiter dutifully took our requests for the types of beer my wife & I were looking for and gave us each a selection we were more than satisfied with. Venturing out on our own to order the next round, we pretty much confirmed that any beer we ordered off the menu would be excellent. Also had the cheese plate which was large & tasty with multiple types of spreads to add to the experience. Definitely recommended for the Belgian beer loving novice or connoisseur!

Awesome beer bar! Sometimes you just run into a place that is outstanding and this is one of them. The lady who owns the bar is really knowledgeable of beer, but she is really busy. However, it seems that this is the kind of place where the rest of the clientele is also quite beer-savvy so we got some great recommendations from the other customers. Can definitely recommend.

One of the most popular beer bars in Bruges, so it’s a little tight, a little loud but lots of fun. They have a big ass booklet of all their Belgian beers. If there is something special you’re looking for, ask the server. He gave us a great recommendation on a kriek we might not have otherwise tried. The two times we’ve been here, it’s always busy but service is efficient. They have some specials, so check out the board. They don’t have a small food menu — mainly consisting of appetizers. The pâté plate is perfect for 2 – 3 people. It’s not my favorite beer bar in Bruges, but it’s definitely the 2nd.

This place has a cool local feel which I’m not sure actually occurs in Bruges considering we are all tourists. They have a great selection and the bartenders are very accommodating in making a beer selection based on your taste. Highly recommended and we sat at the bar which may have helped bring out the local flare.

Top top top ce bar ! Un incontournable pour déguster des bières belges à Bruges ! La preuve, la carte né compte pas moins de… 300 bières ! Autant vous dire qu’il n’est pas simple de choisir ! J’ai donc opté pour la solution de facilité: la pression de «Bugse Zot», à 3,25 € les 33 cl(pas cher !). Les serveurs sont très cools, l’ambiance très détendue. Il faut dire que le cadre n’est pas à la prise de tête: les murs sont couverts de vielles publicités pour de la bière, les étagères pleines de drôles de bibelots, et le carrelage est des plus vintage… Bref, c’est chaleureux et la clientèle est variée: du touriste aux habitués quarantenaires en passant par les d’jeuns au bar, il y a de tout ! Pas de doute, la bière, ça rassemble ! ;-)

More than 300 beers, most of them from Belgium! Each served in its specific glass, which is quite stylish :) This bar is everything you need for a friendly drink of excellent beer. They have every variety, including fruit beer, and you can stay as long as you want at your table. Only 2 downsides: — there are only 5 beers on tap… — if you don’t know Belgian beers well — and all the more if you don’t speak Flemish — you feel quite lost when given the 20-page menu. More guidance would be appreciated.

Great pub to sit and enjoy some Belgian beer! Our waitress was British and she helped us out a lot with the French/Flemish menu. They have a massive beer list and really affordable! They had a really big collection of fruit beers which I am a big fan of. My boyfriend loved the Belgian lagers the waitress recommended. The place is small and cozy and not very loud. One thing we were a bit disappointed at was the fact that they did not offer flights of beer since we wanted to try almost everything. If we are back in Bruges we will come back!

The Beertje is the kind of convivial, old-style beer bar that is frequently talked about, but rarely encountered in reality. In addition, not only is it a bar, it’s kind of a monument to Belgium’s entire brewing tradition, with vintage ads and glassware of every description lining the walls and hanging wherever a place can be found. It’s a huge menu, but to my American beer geek friends who may be reading, this place is all about Belgium. All Belgique, all the time — so if you’re looking for rare Mikkeller bottles, Swedish beers, etc, this isn’t the place. Still, it’s an impressive menu, even considering that many of these beers are available on the other side of the Atlantic. Some have only spotty availability or aren’t available at all, though — and if you’re visiting from America, these are the beers I suggest trying. Forget your Deliriums, Chimays, Chouffes, Westmalles and the like while you’re here and go for something hyper-local. Ask your bartender or server. When I was there I had a quadruple from a very small brewer I’d never heard of(sorry, don’t remember the name) and it was great. I don’t drink quads all that often, because they are just too big, boozy and warming for Southeastern US drinking… but in Bruges, with a blanket of COLD rain coming down, it seemed far more appropriate. With music reduced to a bare whisper in the background, this bar is for drinking and conversing. Tables are so close together, it’s almost impossible to not talk to some new people — that’s how a real bar should be!

During my 2 days in Brugge, I dropped by ‘t Brugs Beertje. It was Wednesday and discovered that it was closed. The next day I went back and stood in line before it opened at 4PM. I am so glad that I returned. This is one of the BEST beer bars in the world. The bartenders are knowledgeable and know their beers. This is no small feat as their beer menu is 40 pages long! They have small batch beers and Belgian craft beers. Each beer that I saw served was in the proper glass. One of the more unusual ales was Den Ijzeeren Arm, a 9% ABV, 4 grain triple, brewed with fenugreek and mustard seed. The taste was unique with the various flavors coming in waves across your tongue. I had a Pannepot Reserve by De Struise Brouwers. This was a delicious dark ale. I had two Belgian craft ales: Smiske Extra, an excellent hoppy Belgian ale Préaris Quadrupel. This Quad is magnificent. Préaris recently won the prize as the best craft brewery in Belgium. If you love really good beer, do not miss ‘t Brugs Beertje.

L’estaminet par excellence où apprendre à apprécier la bière ! Attention, vous né trouverez pas de bières wallonnes ! on est en Flandres occidentales(West Vlandereen) ! de la place du Markt, vous prenez la rue piétonne commerçante à votre droite quand vous regardez le beffroi et vous devez trouver en remontant cette rue une petite rue sur votre droite où se trouve l’Ourson Brugeois(Beertje). né dites surtout pas que vous êtes français en entrant et évitez le bar(réservé aux habitués du cru !): préférez la salle du fond, les serveuses arriveront de suite. vous pourrez acheter des posters des bières belges, des t-shits, Beertje bien sûr et même des verres à biéres.

Sehr sehr urige, sehr beliebte Kneipe etwas versteckt in der Nähe der San Salvador Kathedrale. Wir waren Freitag Nachmittag kurz nach Öffnung(ca 16.30) dort und ergatterten den letzten Tisch. Bald darauf wurden auch due Stellplätze knapp. Die Bierkarte ist wirklich überwältigend, wer kein absoluter Kenner ist sollte sich von der kompetenten Bedienung beraten lassen. Das basilius bruin war dann auch sehr schmackhaft und zwischen Briten, Flamen und Polen trinkt es sich gleich doppelt so schön. Billig ist was anderes, aber das Biererlebnis ist es wert!

If you love Belgian beer, there is no finer place. A mind-blowing selection — I tried this awesome beer called Charles Quint(named after Charles the Fifth, Ghent-born King of Spain), that had the coolest four-handled mug.
