Traveler reviews
Andrew kime
★★★★★10 months agoGreat little bar, great staff, nibbles and drinks, always worth a visit off the busy high street. Dog 🐕 friendly. Thanks for your hospitality.
Matias Plass
★★★★★a year agoGreat bar with quite reasonable prices for the centre of Bruges. Our waiter was very helpful with recommendations and they had a huge tap beer menu. The place has an amazing terrace outside and a quite cozy inside area. Loved it!
